The tempo- rary ordinance set a 50-foot height limit, uniform with the limit that had existed in south Walton County for many years. On June 30, the Walton County Board of County Rep. Brad Drake completes first legislative session By BRUCE COLLIER , Rep. Brad Drake has com- pleted his first session in the Florida Legislature, which ended the second week in May, slightly past the nor- mal time of adjournment. "It took a little. bit of extra time, we wanted to make sure we did it right," said Drake, who recently took timeto speak with the Her- ald on his freshman year in Tallahassee. Though this was his first year in the lawmaker's seat, Drake was no stranger to the lawmaking process. .He served as legislative assis- tant to his predecessor, Rep., Don Brown, for seven years Commissioners (BCC)' will consider a proposal for sev- eral height limits in north Walton County, tied to land use areas. The source of the pro- posed limits is the amend- ments based on the county's 2006 evaluation and ap- praisal report (EAR). The amendments are also under consideration by the county. As proposed, a 40-foot See HEIGHTS 9-A REP. BRAD DRAKE at his office in DeFuniak Springs. and an estimated 13 ses- sions.

The fee increases, which will be evident when citizens step into their local' Tax Collector's Office this year to renew a license plate, were enacted by the 2009 Florida Legislature and signed off on by Governor Charlie Christ. In some in- stances, the fees have more than doubled, with all of the increased revenue being re- mitted back to the state's general revenue fund. "Vehicle owners are go- ing to see significant fee increases when they come in to renew their tags after September 1. Individuals can renew up to 90 days prior to their birthday, and I would encourage anyone in that window to go ahead and renew now to avoid the additional fees," said Wal- ton County Tax Collector Rhonda Skipper. "There is also the option of a two-year renewal for those who want to lock-in the current rate for nrxt year too." Some of the most signifi- cant fee increases will be with title work and initial vehicle registration fees. An original certificate of title . currently costs $24, but as of September 1, will cost $70 - a 192 percent increase. The initial vehicle regis- tration fee, which currently costs $100 will cost $225, an increase of 125 percent.

Fire Chief Ben Greenslait presented a written sum- mary report which he said would probably be done ev- ery quarter in the future to keep people better informed. Greenslait said that in May the department responded to 71 calls, 40 of which were for medical assistance. The 402 total calls for the year- to-date through May con- tinue to run well ahead of the 349 calls answered dur- ing the same period of last year. The fire hydrant mainte- nance program is continu- ing to move ahead. The Council approved Greenslait's request to ap- ply for a grant under the Federal Emergency Man- agement Agency (FEMA) program for modifications to existing stations.

"We do a lot of mapping and we have a lot of maps," said WCPA Patrick Pilcher, of Walton County's own little piece of Google-Earth. Maps are also where Pilcher started, "I start- ed here drawing property maps in 1986. I was elected to office for the first time in 2000." Property maps are still drawn by hand, Pilcher added. The maps collected by Pilcher's office are shared with all authorities such as .the 911 mapping system that can use them. Property lines and maps are just a little piece of the puzzle concerning Pilcher's job and that puzzle is exceed- ingly large. One of Pilcher's duties is to locate, identify and appraise all property in Walton County, which includes 79,000 real estate parcels and 10,000 tangible personal property accounts for business. Another duty of the ap- praiser's office is to build and maintain geographic information system (GIS) mapping, including a data- bank of aerial photography. Citizens can sign onto their web site. and view property in Walton as well as re- search the appraisal price of that property and seek past selling prices. Pilcher has two offices in. the county, one located at the Walton County Courthouse and the other located at the South Walton Courthouse Annex. His office eihploys 34 people. "We are like family. We try to laugh and not take everything to heart, because we have some tough dead- lines to meet sometimes. They always come through and always preform. We get along good and I am grate- ful and appreciative of all the hard work everyone here does. We have an outstand- ing group of people and I am proud to work with them."

JUNE. 18. 2009 PAGE 2-A THIS IS A picture of Daniel Stone's property before an alleged run-in with neighbors and the alleged retribution. A RECENT PHOTO of the Stones'property sent out with a press release from the ACLU Both ACLU and ACLJ contend that Holmes County had no right to take Stone's property without good reason and compensation. ACLU joins ACLJ in suit against Holmes County By ALICIA LEONARD Two neighbors and` one Holmes County ..commis- sioner have done what many could not. They have brought the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Florida and the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) together. Both orga- nizations, together, served Holmes County a complaint on June 8, on behalf of their client, Daniel Stone. The suit alleges that "county of- Jeff .Barber, Executive Director for USDA's Farm Service Agency in Okaloosa County, announced that farmer and ranrihl~dgcan- didate nominations began SJune 15 for local Farm Ser- vice Agency (FSA), county committees. The nomi- nation- period continues through Aug. 3, 2009. Elec- tions take place this fall. "I encourage all producers to participate in the county committee election process by nominating candidates by the. August 3 deadline," said Barber. "We are count- ing on as much participation as possible, because county committees are an impor- tant link between the farm community and the U.S. De- partment of Agriculture. We have seen a trend in recent years of increased nomina- tions of minority and women producers and we hope that will continue." To be eligible to serve on an FSA county committee, a person must participate or cooperate in a program ad-, ministered by FSA, be eligi- ble to vote in a county com- mittee election and beside in the local administrative area in which the person is a candidate. Producers may-also nom- inate themselves, and orga- nizations representing mi- ficials abused their power by destroying and taking part of Stone's property in an act of retribution." Benjamin James Steven- son; ACLU staff attorney based in Pensacola, stated ."the government cannot just take 'someone's property without a good reason and compensation - that's,'why we have eminent domain laws in Florida." According to the suit afid press release regarding the nority and women may also nominate candidates. To become a nominee, eligible individuals must sign form FSA-669A. The form and other 'valuable information about FSA county commit- tde ..elections' are. :available in the Okaloosa County FSA Office or online. Nomination forms for the 2009 election must be postmarked or re- ceived in the local USDA .Service Center by close of business on Aug. 3' 2009. FSA county committee members make decisions on disaster and conserva- tion programs, emergency programs, commodity price case, the dispute started be- tween neighbors and esca- lated when, according to the release, "one neighbor call- ing in a favor to Jim King, a, friendly commissioner, to exact revenge on Mr. Stone by. widening the neighbor's private access on his proper- ty into what the county npow claims is a county road."' . The suit also, contends that, "In .2006; Mr: Stone's fiancee, Rebecca 'Hagan, called in a complaint about support loan programs and other important agricul- tural issues. Members serve three-year terms. Nation- wide, there are more than 7,800 farmers and ranchers serving on FSA county com- mittees. Committees consist of three to five members who are elected by eligible local producers. FSA will mail ballots to producers beginning , Nov.' 6.

Later that same month, the county road de- partment began grading the easement and eventually widened the two-tire track to a 30- and, in some cases, a 40-foot-wide dirt road. "The county's widening of the private access on Mr. Stone's property not only unlawfully took away prop- erty for which he has not been compensated., but they destroyed natural and land- scaped -trees, .and crushed parts of the septic system. These are all.real damages, and the county should reim- burse Mr. Stone for the loss, stop grading the access, and return it to how it was be- fore," Stevenson continued.

"The government officials overstep their bounds when they improve private prop- erty with county funds as a favor for one citizen and to spite another," said Larry Crain, ACLJ senior attor- ney and lead litigator. "That is an abuse of an official po- sition and against the basic tenets . we hold as Ameri- cans.

Supple busy planning Freeport July 4 event Freeport's new park di- rector, Shane Supple, is a busy man these days, bring- ing his energy, creativity and passion to make Free- port's parks and recreation facilities full service, which includes all kinds of special events and attractions. One of the projects he is working on is this year's Fourth of July event. Supple met Freeport Fire Chief Ben Greenslait, Assis- tant Chief Tom Palmer and Pastor John Fogarty last Tuesday to discuss some of the possibilities. The date set for the event is Satur- day, July 4. The day will begin with a Freeport Free- dom parade, which will be- gin at 10 a.m. at the Free- port Middle School, wind its' way through town to the East Bay Loop entrance of Hammock Bay and on to the Freeport Regional Sports Complex. There, a menager- ie of fun and festivities will await everyone with the of- ficial time being from 12 to 6 p.m., but the public is free to stay later Supple is arranging for all kinds of activities to be go- ing on at the complex. Here is small portion of what he dreams of going on at the event: blow-up games, scav- enger hunt, clowns, music and musicians, arts activi- ties, recreation activities, huge slip-n-slide, helicop- ter rides, three-on-three basketball tournament and free throw shootout, fishing casting contest, water bal- loon sling shots, paint ball, food, food and more food. .It's a great opportunity for businesses, churches, orga- nizations, entertainers, mu- sicians, artists and clubs to come out, have a booth and an activity for kids: games, 'art, puppet show, clowns, etc. The sky is the limit, and that may even happen with a ball-drop for prizes from a helicopter. This event is open to ev- eryone. Anyone wishing to come and set up a booth to promote themselves has the option of paying a $100 en- trance fee, or recruit volun- teers to help with presched- uled events or come up with their own type of activity, en- tertainment, game, or craft to host from their booth. Ad- mission to the park is free. This will be a good time to spend with friends, family, neighbors and visitors. What Supple needs most is for everyone to come out, help and participate at whatever level they can. Whether it be purely to vol- unteer with things already planned or come out with your own type of attraction or activity, Supple needs to hear as soon as possible. The more everyone is will- ing to put into it the better it will be, but it takes ev- eryone together to make the event great. Anyone interested in help- ing out, participating in any way, or who needs more in- formation should give Free- port Parks Director Shane Supple a call immediately at 835-2822 to get the ball rolling. Those who have an entry for the parade should call Chief Ben Greenslait or Assistant Chief Tom Palmer at 835-2192.

By RON KELLEY When I say Eglin Air Force Base, most people think of airmen, fighter jets, bombing runs, tactical training and space surveillance. Well, it is all that and a lot more, as I was privileged to discover last year as an honorary com- mander. What many people don't know is that Eglin also means ski. trips, scenic tours, canoeing, hunting, fishing, parachuting and even swimming with manatees. Eglin's proud 96th Services Squadron offers year-round outdoor activities for the whole family, including camping, picnics, a pool and a full-service marina with a large fleet of rental boats. With the nation's economy lurching from bailout to bail- out, many families are opting to take a vacation in their backyard and there couldn't be a better place to do that than right here on the Emerald Coast - the very place that thousands of tourists flock to visit every year because of the dazzling beauty of the area and its splendid amenities. Don't you deserve all that, too? Eglin has everything you need to please the whole fam- ily. Eglin's Outdoor Recreation program is amazing. The Eglin Natural Resources Branch, locally known as Jackson Guard, manages the vast natural resources found throughout the 464,000-acre Eglin reservation. Approxi- mately 280,000 acres of the reservation are open to pub- lic use and enjoyment and specific information regarding hunting, fishing and outdoor recreational opportunities can be obtained by contacting or visiting the Natural Resources Branch office at 107 Hwy. 85 North, Niceville. A permit is required to recreate on the reservation; and in addition to providing maps, regulations and permit fee information, the Natural Resources office has educational displays that promote Eglin's rare and sensitive natural communities and management efforts. The Natural Reap. ypes Branch hours of operation are: Monday through Thursday 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Friday 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., but closed on Sunday and federal holidays.

Boat storage is available with wet and dry slips at Ben's Lake Marina and. wet slips at Bear Creek Marina.

Alligator captured in Paxton The Walton County Sher- iffs Office (WCSO) received a call around 9:15 p.m. on June 6 from a Paxton resi- dent that a 15-foot alligator was sitting in the middle of the road in a residential neighborhood. When depu- ties arrived they discovered that indeed an alligator had made its way down Adams Street and was lying in the grass on the side of the road. The alligator turned out to be 10 feet 10 inches long and . .weighed over 350 pounds.

Officer Randall Brooks with Florida Fish and Wildlife explained what needed to be done to restrain the animal. Alligators are generally slow on land, but can lunge short distance very quickly. The entire situation had to be ap- proached with extreme cau- tion. Along with the help of the two deputies Brooks was able to slip a rope around the head of the 'gator and pull the 'gator into the road- way where the officer and- deputies could restrain the animal properly. The officer and deputies had to jump on the back- of the 10-foot alli- gator to get the tape around the mouth and legs. Once the mouth was taped shut the feet were then taped so the alligator could not move or bite. Alligators have the strongest bite of any living animal, so for public safety it was imperative that the animal's mouth be secured. The deputies .remained with the animal until the trapper could arrive and take control of it. In 2008, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission received more than 14,000 nuisance alli- gator complaints. Trappers are contracted to remove specific nuisance alligators. It is illegal for the general public to kill, capture, or re- locate nuisance alligators..

"You are looking at the problem." - A statement over a full-length mirror in a half-way house where I once lived. "The truth will set you free, but first it will p--- you off!" says Joel, the counsel- or who helps the women in their recovery at the Path of Grace. How does recovery work? Why is it that so few (per- haps 2 to 10 percent of all alcoholics and addicts) find their way to\a joyous and free new life while the vast majority seem hopeless and perish from the same dis- ease? Simply put, the formula for success has three ingre- dients, each absolutely es- sential. It. is a recipe that anyone can follow. Of course the individual must be prop- erly motivated. When that is the case and the formula is employed, without alibis or shortcuts, recovery from addiction and a transformed life is the result. HOW is an acronym made up of these magic ingredi- ents: H stands for honesty (and humility) 0 stands for open-mind-' edness and having faith that others can guide us into the actions we need to change -realizing that our own "best thinking" got us into this mess. We need to seek outside wisdom to get out of it. W stands for willingness to take whatever action nec- essary, to go to any lengths to overcome the addiction and escape the hell of our own creation.. Simple isn't it? If only the long-sought cure for cancer (equally fatal) were that simple. It is not, however, easy. The biggest obstacle to this process is the ego, which with its ally pride usually sabotages, the majority of those who desperately need to change. EGO is anotheracronym - edging God out. Another way of looking at it is that our ego causes us to "play God" in our lives. Evidently, for alcoholics, this simply. doesn't work. Alcoholics need a mental ."regime change," a complete new administration to bring about "change we can believe in." Perhaps God would be a good candidate. GOD is also an acronym. It can start as a "group of drunks" (AA meet- ings), or some prefer "good orderly direction." Nobody wants to change unless they have to, and it usually it takes unendur- able pain for an addict, to become properly motivated. Even knowing death is the inevitable result usually isn't enough, but pain will get the ball rolling. Recov- ery is the threshold of a new, wonderful and fulfilling life of many rewards, but we .have to be driven through that door, against our wills, by pain that most could: not deal with for even a minute.

[ THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 2009 .l. -ma,, .=P. INSTALLATION of officers was held at the DeFuniak Springs Post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. DeFuniak Springs VFW Post 4437 holds installation of officers ceremony On Saturday, June 6, with family and friends were in attendance, an installa- tion of officers was held at the DeFuniak Springs Post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The 2009-10 slate of of- ficers was inducted by Re- tired Navy Captain Bonnie Bonner. She began the cer- emony on a humorous note, HEIGHTS north county height limit would be set for construc- tion in residential areas, a 75-foot limit for construction in commercial areas, and a 100-foot limit for construc- tion in industrial areas. Of the three, the proposed 40-foot limit for residen- tial has brought forth the most reaction and comment. There have been comments' by commissioners and the public in favor ,of keeping the residential height limit uniform with the 50-foot one existing in south Walton. County Commission Chair Sara Comander also commented that it should be a priority to ensure that uses such assilos andm oth- er farinm strii&ul res re not hampered in agricultural areas. Pat Blackshear of Walton County Planning and Devel- opment Services said ,that the 40-foot recommenda- tion associated with not h Walton' County residential uses was the result ofpublic input during workshops as- sociated with the proposed EAR-based amendments. The temporary height limit ordinance for north Walton County had sunset on May 27, but on May 26 the BCC had voted to direct staff not to accept any devel- opment applications involv- ing construction in excess of 50 feet. Blackshear had' recom- mended that the. BCC hold public hearings to renew the temporary ordinance until such time as height limits had been approved for north Walton County through the EAR-based amendments and the period for challenge' of the amendments had ex- pired. In accordance with that recommendation, the BCC had set and advertised- a public hearing for June 9 for consideration of a height limit ordinance "for all of Walton County." However, on June 9, Dis- trict 3 Commissioner Larry Jones said he was uncom- fortable looking at extend- ing the 50-foot temporary height limit ordinance, which he called a "skeleton ordinance." He moved to continue consideration of the height limits until the June 30 BCC meeting, at which the limits proposed for north Walton County in the EAR-based documents would be considered. His motion was approved unanimously. The June 30 BCC meeting is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. and take place in the Walton County Courthouse in DeFuniak Springs. The proposals to be con- sidered at that meeting do not involve changes to the 50-foot height limit for south Walton County. The pro- posed EAR-based amend- ments also call for that limit to remain in place, with the pointing out that it wasn't every day that a- former Navy nurse inducts a for- mer Navy hospital corps- man, both as veterans of the Vietnam War. Outgoing Post Command- er Jack Sipos assisted her as she reminded the elected and appointed officers of their duties and responsi- bilities. A unique step in the cer- emony occurred when in- coming Commander Ken Winchel grasped the Ameri- can flag in his left hand. Each of the other officers placed their left hand on the shoul- der of the- next man, symbol- izing contact with the flag. Positioned in this fashion, each officer then raised his right hand and repeated the oath of office issued by Cap- tain Bonner. Other newly inducted offi- cers include Norris Knowles - senior vice-commander, Bruce Regan - junior vice- commander, Robert Ful- lenkamp - quartermaster, David Reid - service officer, Herbert Beck - chaplain, Larry Manning - surgeon, Jerry 'Nelson - first year trustee, Thornm Brooks - sec- ond .year trustee, Bill Vor- wald - third year trustee.

Naked driver arrested During a traffic stop, north of DeFuniak Springs on the evening of June 16, Walton County Sheriffs deputies. encountered a- drunk, naked driver. A pick-up truck being. driven by Dearry Smiley, 58, of DeFuniak Springs, was parked off the shoul- der partially blocking traffic on County Highway 1883. Upon .approaching the ve- . V-, hicle the deputy noted that Smiley was wearing only a hat, sunglasses and tan sandals. Smiley reportedly remarked to the deputy, "What's wrong with a man driving home naked, it's not against the law." The officer noted the smell of alcohol.' A woman in the front pas- senger seat, Phyllis Cumbie, 47, began yelling profanity at officers. Alcohol was not- ed coming from her breath. When the deputy tried to re- move her from the car, she struck him with her fist. He was not injured, and she was handcuffed at the scene. Smiley was booked for ' driving under the influence, and Cumbie faces a felony battery on a law enforce- ment officer charge. Bbth were booked into the Wal- ton County Jail.

PILCHER CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1-A many changes approved by the Florida Legislature that will keep his staff extra busy for the next two years. Nine of those employees work full-time in the field, appraising property in per- son. Pilcher said the pro- liferation of meth labs had increased his .concern for employees out in the field. "We keep in constant con- tact with our field apprais- ers and they have schedules set out so we know where they are. Sometimes we run across someone who doesn't want us out there.' In 'that case, we still have to ap- praise the property, even if we have to do it from the street." Pilcher said typical- ly, appraisers do not go into homes,' but measure square fqotage and the state ofthe home from the outside. � One of the largest jobs Pilcher and company have is required by Florida law. The annual Property As- sessment Roll is due to be submitted to the Florida De- partment of Revenue by July 1 each year. Property value totals are submitted to the taxing 'authorities (county commission, city, schools,. fire districts) as well. The increasing property values of the last five years, before the market crash, has kept Pilcher and crew busy, too. "When you have values escalating from 40 to 100 percent in one year, that causes some problems when people get their taxes. We don't set those values. That's what the market said and we are basically histo- rians of that market. We do not establish or set the mar- ket, we follow what hashap- pened. Property taxes ,are paid in arrears." Pilcher hits onh a little- know fact, that apprais-- als on property values this year are set on the prior year's value. They actually run a year behind market prices, which leads to some upset citizens sometimes. "Even though' property val- ues have plunged, if some- one's property was still up last year according to the market, that is the assess- ment value this year. That's tough and we do everything we can to explain how our office works. The property tax roll for 2009 is based on the 2008 market." Property tax fraud is an- other area that Pilcher's of- fice deals with, but lessathan. one might think. "We have people who research this full time. We actually find very little fraud. Maybe 10 percent is on purpose. Most of the time we find that the people have taken the steps, but their previous states or prior residences have not removed them from their rolls. The volatility of the mar- ket increases the work for the appraiser's office. More movement by the market means more analyzing. Pilcher said that the market in DeFuniak has remained stable overall, "We have not seen the big bump here that we saw in the south end and the market had not slumped here in DeFuniak, but stayed rather stable," explained Pilcher. Other responsibilities in- clude deed processing, data entry, field appraisals/re- views, system management and exemptions adminis- tration. Pilcher's office, as other constitutional offices, strive to work together, but independently of each other. "This office belongs to the taxpayer. We only gather the information for the prop- er authorities, so they can do their job," Pilcher added. Pilcher said one of the best parts of his job is inter-: action with the public. "I get to hear some interesting sto- ries. It always amazes me how you can meet a stranger, start talking and walk away kindred spirits. People are so amazing. Sometimes peo- ple come in and talk turns away from property and they start talking about some- thing closer to their heart, like maybe some problems and then when they leave, they turn and say, 'thank you for listening to me' and I always feel blessed after those interactions. I think, 'no, thank you' because my interaction with them keeps my own stuff in perspec- tive." Pilcher said customer service is a big part of the job. "We, as employees, sometimes need to stop and remember that we should be happy to have a job; That mindset needs to carry over to how we treat the public. If someone wanders into our office and needs help, even if it's something we don't han- dle, we try to point them in the right direction. If people need help, then help them if you can." Pilcher entered into his third term at the beginning of this year and said he -is thankful, "I am so grateful for the trust and confidence the voters and. residents of Walton County have placed in me. I strive to do the best job possible. "Sometimes the things written in the statute books are tough. It's tough to have to follow them sometimes, but our job is to follow them and try and treat everyone the same. If you do that, you will have people that might be unhappy sometimes, but they can't say we treated them unfairly. We strive to be fair and treat everyone with respect. If you don't un- derstand something about how your property was as- sessed or have other ques- tions, call, sign on or come in. Our door is always open," Pilcher said with a smile.

While state appropriations to the college decreased by $1.4 million this year and were previously cut significantly in the two prior fiscal years, the college presented a bal- anced budget which had no cuts, to programs, student services or staff - unlike many other colleges in Flor- ida who have made program cuts and staff layoffs. The $1.4 million decrease in state appropriations was offset somewhat by appro- priation of federal stabili- zation funds, for a net de- crease in state and federal funding of $313,908. All lev- els of funding allocated for instruction, student servic- es, library and similar func- tions remained the same or increased slightly to serve the college's growing stu- dent population of nearly 16,000 students annually. Included in the budget is a state-approved $8.95 per credit hour increase in stu- dent tuition and fees that maintains NWFSC's sta- tus as the college with the lowest total student fees in Florida of any public or private college or univer- sity. Trustees also approved continuing NWFSC's status as the only college among Florida's 28 community and state colleges that does not charge a student activities fee. NWFSC student tu- ition and fees will increase from $66.78 per credit hour to $75.73 per credit hour for most associate degree courses and from the cur- rent $79.81 per credit hour for baccalaureate programs to $89.39 per credit hour for upper division coursework. For a typical three-credit college course at the associ- ate degree level, students will now pay $227.19 as op- posed to the current $200.34. A typical full-time student enrolled in 12. credits per term for the academic year would therefore experience a total increase of $214.80 per year - from $1,602.72 to complete one year of studies at the college to $1,817.52. A bachelor's degree student enrolled full time would now pay $229.92 more per aca- demic year. The college's budget does not include any sal- ary increases for college employees, but does allow staff two additional days off during the college's normal one-week closure at Spring Break. Staff previously worked during a portion of Spring Break when faculty and students were off. In other action, the trust- ees approved a resolution which will allow the college to begin the research and development for possible expansion of existing bac- calaureate programs to add up to four new bachelor's degrees in general business, information technology, public service and educa- 'tional studies. The college has suc- cessfully offered bachelor's degrees since 2004 and cur- rently offers five bachelor's degrees in the fields of man- agement, education and nursing. The college was accredited as a bachelor's degree: granting institution by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 2003. College interim president Dr.. Jill White noted that there is no timetable at pres- ent for the college to begin to offer the four additional bachelor's degrees. "Today's board authorization allows us to begin the process-to get the ball rolling - to de- velop these future offerings for our local community." Trustees also accepted the college's annual finan- cial audit for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008, by the State of Florida Auditor General. The audit reflects a clean opinion with no find- ings.

Drake credits his prior experience with helping him to accomplish things that might not otherwise have been realistic goals for a typical freshman leg- islator. "I was able to insert $20 million for the small county outreach program,, which is a road-paving proj- ect for small counties...to receive equivalent match- ing dollars from the state for small county road proj- ects." Drake's interest in transportation, agriculture and natural resource is- sues led him to ask, and receive, five committee as- signments from the Speaker of the House: agriculture and natural resources policy committee, roads, bridges and ports policy committee, transportation and economic development appropriations committee, state and com- munity college and work- force policy committee, and a joint legislative committee on intergovernmental rela- tions. "The Speaker...always asks for our input on where we'd like to serve...." Drake's first session was dominated by one overarch- ing issue. "The number-one issue this year was economic recovery. All the other ancil- lary struggles thatwe have as a state...hinges on having to navigate through a tough economic time." Drake con- siders transportation ,and infrastructure were "key to economic recovery." He was able to take funds from a pool of money dedicated to road resurfacing projects (many in south Florida) and put them into small county road construction projects. "I went in there as quick as I could and got my money put in. place for small coun- ties:...it's all a negotiated process, and the later in the game you get, the more dif- ficult it becomes in trying to get. your accomplishments met." As the session draws to a close, "everything that's pending becomes a negotiat- ing tool. You don't .ant to be stuck in a position where something that's very im- portant to you may get ne- gotiated out for something that's important to someone else...." Other accomplishments included passing three bills - of a total of six that he sought :to get passed. One reduced some unnecessary permitting requirements for "CHELCO-type" electric,co- op companies in self-insur- ance regulations. Another (the "Anthony Forgionie Act") reformed procedures in Baker Act situations where a person has been commit- ted to a receiving facility under the Baker Act and at- tempts to leave the facility. This came in response to the 2008 killing of an Okaloosa County sheriffs deputy, An- thony Forgione, by.a Baker Act subject that had left suchoa facility. The third bill eliminated a pending sunset provision and made perma- nent the already-enacted ap- plication procedures (includ- ing criminal record checks) for firearms purchases. The ghost of legislation past returned to the ses- sion in the form of prop- erty insurance reform. Drake's predecessor, Rep. : Don Brown, was one of two lawmakers who objected to . the reforms enacted in the property insurance reform bill. Drake commented that Brown's arguments that the reform would not work, are now being adopted and made by "an overwhelming majority of the legislators," that "we need to go back an undo" what was done. "Ba- S by-steps" reform is in prog- ress, "but it's a small step." A bill was passed that allows insurers to offer "a specific type of insurance [residential property insur- ance] that would be outside. the purview of the Office of Insurance .Regulation in referring to those rates as 'excessive,' and it would be up to the consumer to de- cide whether or not he or she wanted to purchase that type of insurance product. That bill is currently in front of the governor. The word is that he may veto it." Drake later confirmed that the governor had not received the bill at the time of this interview. An override would require a 2/3 vote in both chambers. "The problem is convinc- ing both presiding officers to bring it up as an issue. I don't know when the last time a bill or budget item veto has been overridden.... It hasn't been done in the past 10 years, I know." Drake said that there was "overwhelming support" for the bill, which was passed 105 -13 in the House, and 27 - 9 in the Senate. The bill re- quires the insurers offering such policies to furnish proof to the state of fiscal sound- ness - including specified surpluses - to meet potential claims on those policies. The bill requires that consumers must request such policies. Even if passed, Drake calls the bill a "weakened hybrid form of insurance deregula- tion." The "king issue" of the session, according to Drake, was how to make $6 billion in budgetary cuts, while obeying the state's consti- tutional mandate of a bal- anced budget. Health care for medically-needy Florid- ians was fully funded, $30 million was appropriated for a first-time home buy- ers program, and funding was secured to offer "entice- THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 2009 ments" to attract businesses to locate in Florida. Also addressed was clos- ing the "double-dipping" provision under which some elected officials and state employees would retire, sit, out 30 days, then return to work collecting both salary and pension. "After a lot of public interest had evolved in that area, we went back and we closed that loop- hole." Classroom funding per-student for Walton County showed a 4.56 per- cent increase, "in hard dol- lars, that's about about $2.2 million." Disappointments includ- ed Drake's attempt to ex- pand a bill for funding new road surfacing projects to include resurfacing projects as well, a bill that "didn't make it." Stretching avail- able funds required "dili- gence," and not everything got as much attention as he might have wanted. On the legal problems of Rep. Ray Sansom, Drake said, "I hope and I pray that the truth will come out and the truth will show that Rep. Sansom is vindicated from many of the allegations that have been made toward him." Between now and the fall session, Drake is occupying his time with constituent needs. "I'm basically being a customer service represen- tative for people that have needs with state agencies. I'm very grateful for the opportunity to serve," he added. "I enjoy being avail- able and accessible to people whenever they call." A s for what he likes least about his job, Drake quotes his grandfather, a former state legislator who once went on the record saying, "There's too much politics in poli- tics.'- Drake promises, "If I get a chance to re-quote him on the House floor next year, I'm going to do that."

(Photo by Jefrey Powell) Roadway to historic Fort Pickens re-opened By JEFFREY POWELL As of Friday, May 22, ve- hicular traffic can once again access historic Fort Pick- ens, just east of Pensacola Beach. The roadway, that leads to the fort had been closed since being damaged by Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and Hurricane Dennis in 2005. The seven-mile drive on property that is part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore is subject ts flood- ing and damage due to its proximity to both the Oxlf of Mexico and Pensacola Bay. Named after R.evolu- tionary War hero General Andrew Pickens, the for- tress was built using over 21.5 million bricks, most of which were locally produced in the Pensacola area. Con- struction began in 1829 and was overseen by West Point graduate Major William Henry Chase. The fort was completed five years later by black laborers. Fort Pickens is the larg- est of four forts meant to de- fend the mouth of Pensacola Bay and the adjacent Navy Yard. Life in the fo.ts was relatively uneventfulI until the 'American Civil War, when Confederate soldiers controlling the mainland threatened to take Fort Pickens, located on Santa Rosa Island. Several at- tempts were made to take the Union bastion but none were successful. Fort Pick- ens remained in Federal hands throughout the con- flict. During the late 1800s the fort was home to several American Indian prisoners. On. the morning of Oct. 25, 1886, a train carrying 16 Apache men and their fami- lies arrived in Pensacola. .The men were separated from their loved ones and sent to the f6rt. Among the men that were held prisoner at the fort were Geronimo and Naiche, the youngest son of Cochise. Many tour- ists and visitors came over from Pensacola to see these unfortunate residents of the fort. The men were later re-united with their fami- lies and sent to Fort Sill in Oklahoma. One of Geroni- mo's three wives is buried at Fort Barrancas National Cemetery on the Pensacola Naval Air Station. Today, visitors to the area can see the pentagonal edifice at their own pace and imagine the life and times of past residents. Both guided and self-guided tours are available with park person- nel on hand to answer ques- tions. Camping, snorkeling and a fishing pier are also part of he activities visi- tors can enjoy.

Walton County Democratic Women's Club to meet June 24 Architect Mark Schnell to discuss transect-based plan- ning and its effects on Wal- ton County at June 25 meet- ing of the Walton County Democratic Women's Club Through explosive growth and now economic stagna- tion, the current system of land use regulations in Walton County has proven problematic in many ways. This presentation describes the issues involved with .the current system and how a transect-based . code may. represent the best direction for ,Walton County's, land use regulations. The presentation was cre- ated by a group of concerned local citizens with expertise in architecture, planning, and the environment who gathered to advise the Wal- ton County Planning Com- mission during the compre- hensive plan amendment process. Mark Schnell is an urban designer and planner based in Seagrove Beach. His firm, Schnell Urban Design LLC (www.schnellurbandesign. com), provides visioning, ur- .ban design/planning, design codes, and design review for public and private sector clients. Christi Commander Ferry will serve as program moderator. The meeting will be held at 2 p.m. at the Coastal Li- brary. All are welcome.

A man of few words (thus I won't em- barrass him with verbosity), Gary has made the paper 'feel like home to .all of us who have the good fortune to work here. Not only does' Gary make the Herald an inviting place to work, so does our recep- tionist, Candace, who greets everyone with a smile and the most sincere '"How are you?""

Dear Auntie Em, Just a note to tell you how enjoyable your good com- mon sense, kind, and caring advice in your "Ask Auntie Em" column is. A great read - hope it continues for a long time! Sincerely, M. Edwards DeFuniak Springs Dear M, Thank you for such a nice note. It always seems to make a person's day when you give them a little pat on the back. Your note made mine. My advice to our kind readers this week is sim- ple. Find someone during this week, and give them a pat on the back for a job, well done. Many people go through every day without hearing a kind word, about their efforts. Although, we do not do good deeds for the thanks, sometime we all need an extra push. The little thing you do to thank another may have a major impact in that person's life. It does not have to be large, but be on the look out for those who can use a posi- tive word or a kind deed. Let a person in front of you at the grocery store. Thank someone who holds a door open for you. Seek and you will find someone to thank or help this week. Keep .sending, those thoughts, questions or prob- lems into Auntie Em and I'll keep doing my best to an- swer them or at least point you in a positive direction. Until next week, good luck and God bless. Auntie Em Send your letters to Aun- tie Em to dfsherald@gmail. com or to P.O.

The Bible reads that "He looked for a city that hath foundations, whosp builder and maker is God" (He- brews 11:10). This verse gives many people different views of this life. Consider the following. For many people,, life looks like a treadmill. it re- ally has no ultimate mean- ing; just the same old grind every day. There is no ex- citement, only monotony. People on treadmills listen to something to entertain them. It does not have to mean anything, it only has to help break the monoto- ny. Again, many people look on life as a saga, an epic story. It exalts human vir- tues and glorifies the man, woman, family, the race or' nation. Those who look at life as a saga are the com- fortable, successful ones for whom life is seen as good. It must not be upset or tam- pered with by others. Their friends are the "best" peo- ple, and they only belong to the more "respectable" organizations. They think theirs is the "American way of life" or whatever-form of life they happen to enjoy. Another view of life is the pilgrimage way. A pilgrim is one who has escaped the treadmill and is looking for a different meaning to life. Abraham left Ur of The church is located on, U.S. 331 in Paxton, FL.

JAYE Lord Christ, life has move- ment. and meaning and an eternal purpose. PAGE 7-B Chasing Fleas BY REV. DR. G. CHARLES SATTERWHITE, PASTOR Neatly nestled between David fleeing to Engedi (wilderness of Judah on the western shore of the Dead Sea where palm groves grow), in chapter 23, and the death of Nabal (fool), a foolish man who refused to help David (chapter 25), is an interesting story of how wicked Saul was spared by David. 1Sam. 24:10-14 As I was reading this story, I was suddenly in- spired by the little phrase ISam. 24:14 "After whom is the king of Israel come out? After whom dost thou pur- sue? After a dead dog, after a flea." I consulted Dr. Bag- well about some character- istics of a flea, and I 'began immediately drawing a par- allel of fleas to humans. The first point is their purpose in life. The flea from pupa, larvae, and adult are born for one reason, to cause ruin. David realized that Saul was God's anointed, but he was not acting like God's anointed by pursuing him. He was not acting like the Saul of earlier days who was so humble that he hid among the stuff. 1Sam. 10:22: "Therefore they in- quired of the Lord further, if the man should yet come thither. And. the Lord an- swered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the stuff." What is your purpose in life? You can have a new na- ture in Christ Jesus 2Cor. 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new crea- ture: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. John 10:9 I am the door, 'by me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. John- 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have, it. re .,aunda4tly. John 10:11 I am the good shep- herd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. The old nature that needs Christ is bent toward destruction, and evil. The person cannot change from unrighteous to righteous through any effort of his or her own Eph. 2:1-10..- If you will notice in our text, "after a dead dog, after a flea" (1 Sam. 24:14). The flea will even infest a dying dog, and will feed on the dog until death. Another characteristic of a flea is that fleas rely on others to spread their pow- er. Prov. 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Like the deadly sin of gos- sip, the sin of unrighteous conspirators is equally as deadly. It is bad enough for a person to be lost, but Subscribe Today! they are not content being lost alone. An adult flea can bring 400 more fleas into ex- istence. Is your purpose in life full of ruin? You may say I can change anytime that I please, but just as the flea cannot stop being a flea, you cannot stop sinning without Christ, and His Holy Spirit dwelling in you. You may think that hell is a joke and that this life is all that that there is, but friend, Jesus died upon a cross to take care of the disease of sin that is raging through your life, Rom. 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Rom. 10:9-13 Your friends may laugh you into hell, but they will never laugh you out of hell. You may have a companion, a loved one, or a friend that is a Christian, but you will not get to heaven because you attach yourself to their goodness, but you must con- fess your sin. One thing that makes hell so horrible is the power of what might have been.' You cannot change your na- ture, but Christ can and will if you will allow Him. If you die without Jesus, this mes- sage today will play over in your mind like a broken re- cord for eternity. You will try * drowning it out, but there is no rest in hell. The flea carries disease. Just as you have genetic characteristics from your two parents, there is a char- acteristic that is known as sin in each of us. You are born into sin, and you have to be born again to be rid of the old nature of sin. The habit of sin must be bro- ken, and only the new na- ture of Christ can effect this change. Just as the flea is a flea by nature - you and I are sinners by nature. The flea loves to stay in shady areas, (they don't like the sun); 'Ps. 143:3 For4he. enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead. John 7:7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. 1Sam. 2:9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the 'wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail. 1John 1:6-7 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 1John 1:7 Buit if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Je- sus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. Deut. 28:29 And thou shalt, grope at noonday, as Rev. Dr. G. Charles Satterwhite, Pastor the blind gropeth in dark- ness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy, ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee. A flea is aggravating and causes allergies. I have been Christian long enough to tell when some- one is really a Christian or not. A sinner is a very irrev- erent, but a person who is bent toward evil after hav- ing an opportunity to accept Christ is intolerable. Saul had some good men fol- lowing him, but they were all bent toward doing evil Rom. 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield your- selves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? Flea spray may destroy the adults, but they do not destroy the eggs.. You can come to the altar and be rid of the guilt of sin, but you cannot change the 'nature of sin through con- fessing sin. Thoroughly be- ing convinced of change is merely the beginning. Being moved emotionally is impor- tant also, but it is only. the next step. The prodigal son made was still in the pen' feeding the hogs until he arose ,and went. The Lord must break the stubborn will of sin. Likf Saul, we chase many fleas in life. However, Jesus gives life. Rom. 8:1 There is therefore now no condem- nation to them which are in Chi-ist Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Rom. 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ.Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Rom. 8:3 For what the law could not do, .in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending. his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh,. and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: Rom. '8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. ,The nature of the flea is stubborn. The flea has to be con- demned to death through something stronger than his ability to destroy. God's Son, Christ came to give us new- ness. Notice these three views of life BY DR. ROBERTM.

PAGE 12-B Nick's The 9th annual Old Nick's Speckled Trout Shootout was held from May 23-31 with many avid fisherman hauling in some of the larg- est specimens during the last few days of the event. Nick's Restaurant in Basin Bayou sponsors this annual event which brings out lots of local fishermen and their families who en- joy the large variety of divi- sions that allows everyone who weighs-in a fish receive a- tournament t-shirt. Tro- phies, rods and reels, tackle boxes, gift certificates and cash prizes were awarded to several of the 120 anglers who participated in the event. THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, JUNE 18,2009 holds Speckled-Trout Shootout Miles Hicks won the overall competition and the speckled trout prize with a catch that weighed in at 6.21 pounds and was 26.5 inches long. The Catfish Classic, for children under the age of 12, was captured by Andrew Ham, who posted the high- est combined weight total of 74.38 pounds. Children were allowed to weigh-in three saltwater catfish per day with the total over the nine-day tournament deter- mining the winner. Don Graff took - home the Most Dedicated Fisher- man Award for 2009 as he vigilantly fished for all nine days, despite inclement weather at times during the event.

Treasurer Mary Brown reported April taxes "better than I had anticipated. We are down about 10 percent, but yearly we have an increase of about 3 percent overall. I think we are hanging in there and do- in' what we need to do," she concluded. Doing what needs to be done includes big discount-' ing for many of the area's bed tax collectors who find fewer people making lodng- term vacationn reservations, with room for last-minute decisions on the part of va- cationers. Vickie Warner, a member of the marketing committee of the TDC, provided details of groups who sought finan- cial help in the promotion of events in Walton County. One of the criteria used in determining whether or not an event will be financially helped is the viability of the event to bring visitors into the county. The marketing' committee had set aside $100,000 for this funding, and in the end awarded $88,000 to events as diverse as the ACT Walton farmer's market, a new group which was awarded $1,000, to literary readings and din- ner discussions, which got $2000. . The annual Seaside. Marathon and 5K Race was awarded $10,000, up $2,000 from previous years. Fund- ing was approved for both Chautauqua groups in De- Funiak Springs, as well as the Back to Nature Pro-' gram. A new event, a song- writer's festival, scheduled for January 2010, asked for $10,000, but was awarded only $8,000. In making a mo- tion to approve all the rec- ommendations of the com- mittee, board member Ken Gifford moved to increase the award to the $10,000 level requested. The motion was passed by all, making the total expenditure by the committee $90,000. The un- allocated funds remain as a line item and available to fund other requests. Representatives from Taylor Engineering, the de- signers of the $4.6 million dollar parking deck, which opened in mid-May and was damaged by an overweight -truck two weeks later, re- ported the repair has been completed. The cost of the, repair was about $5,000. The engineers suggested the TDC need to find a way to keep vehicles weighing more than 10,000 pounds from entering into the park- ing deck. The deck has been designed to withstand hurri- cane winds and signs clearly state the weight limits for the deck and indicate where heavier vehicles . should park, but there is no way to enforce which vehicles enter the structure. The engineers pointed out the structure was designed for passenger vehicles and suggested strongly that the TDC install height restric- tors on the two entrances, as well as the exit - which has been seen being used as an entrance -- which' would physically prevent. large campers and trucks See TDC 2-C CUPCAKES ARE one of life's sweet treats and Queen Bee Cupcake's make life a lot sweeter everyday. Seepage 12-C. Oyster Lake workshop explains history, speculates on future By LEAH STRATMANN There is much confusion surrounding the continual flooding of Oyster Lake. De- spite published reports to the contrary, as yet no dirt has been trucked in to the area to restore it to, the con- dition it was in prior to an emergency opening of the See WORKSHOP 4-C Group to seek state scenic designation for Old 98 By DOTTY NIST "We feel like Old High- way 98 should have this type of designation,". Tom Machamer told county com- missioners on June 9, speak- ing of a state scenic roadway designation. Machamer represent- ed a group of owners and property owners on Old 98, the southwestern Walton County highway that was the original Highway 9.8, now mainly known as Sce- nic Gulf Drive in Miramar Beach. The group calls itself "Old 98 Initiative." Machamer spoke on the history of this beachfront road and its importance as the first tourist beach des- TOM MACHAMER addresses the Walton County Board of County Commissioners on June 9. tination between Pensacola and Panama City, due. to proactive Miramar Beach area pioneers. Sixty years ago, Macha- mer explained, there was not one beachside resort in this region; now the area is known all over the world for its beachfront accommoda- tions and its beauty. Machamer called Old 98 "the grandfather of the resort industry in Walton County" and "a great natu- ral resource." - He spoke of Walton Coun- ty's first beachfront resort, Murmuring Surf, construct-' ed in the late 1940s and the 1950s by Jack Terry, the contributions of Mira- mar Beach pioneer Michael Grimaldi and his family, and then, the Nitsos family, who built Frangista Beach Resort, named after their home village in Greece. Machamer asked the commissioners for their "blessing," in the form of a resolution of support, for the initiative to garner a designation for Old 98/Sce- nic Gulf Drive in the Florida Scenic Highways Program. This is the designation re-. cently' approved for CR-30A and four north-south roads connecting with that county highway, after a lengthy ap- plication procedure. Such a designation is .a draw for visitors and it also increases the possibility of state funding for improve- ments to roadways that achieve this recognition. In addition to their sup- port for the state scenic designation, Machamer re- qutested that county ordi- nances be written "to pro- tect the natural beauty of the road," and "so that we can get better control of the properties...including the look of the properties." Walton County District 5 Commissioner Cecelia Jones expressed apprecia- tion to Machamer for serv- ing as a spokesman for the initiative. She noted that See OLD 98 4-C OLD HIGHWAY 98, the three-mile beachfront road where tourism got its start in Walton County, is now one of the county's busiest resort areas. THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 2009 Fire/EMS Safety, Health SHOOTING THE BREEZE and Survival Week with Leah Stratmann The South Walton Fire District (SWFD) announced its participation in the 2009 Fire/ EMS Safety, Health and Survival Week. pro- gram, scheduled for June, 14-20, 2009. The theme for this year is "Protect Your- self: Your Safety, Health and Survival Are Your Re- sponsibility." The goal of this annual program is to encourage fire, chiefs and fire service personnel to fo- cus on what they4personally can do to manage risk and enhance their health and safety. This year's theme re- flects the need for personal responsibility and account- ability within a strong safe- ty culture. The International Associ- ation of Firefighters (IAFF) and International Associa- tion of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) developed this annual pro- gram to encourage all fire/ EMS departments to devote this week to reviewing safe- ty policies, evaluating the progress of existing initia- tives, and discussing health and fitness. The SWFD will ., make a concentrated effort during this week to review and evaluate safety mea- sures and to provide focused training relative, to .this year's theme. "The safety of our per- sonnel is a full-time job and priority for each one of us. We can't be complacent and expect someone else to take responsibility, it must be a personal commitment," said Deputy Chief Sean Hughes. The creation of a strong, safety culture based around the SWFD's core. values of Leadership, Teamwork, In- tegrity and Community Ser- vice will position the SWFD, to safely deliver its mission of "Prompt, Competent, Caring Response in Time of 'Need." Birmingham man dies. in kayaking accident at Navarre Beach A 72-year-old Birming-, ham, AL. man died last' week while kayaking in the Gulf of Mexico at Navarre Bea ch. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) investigators said Lloyd Cecil ' Colgate ven- tured out into the Gulf on a borrowed kayak June 10 around 4 p.m. behind Em- erald Surf* Condominiums. Witnesses reported, 'that Colgate fell off the kayak and began struggling. Bystanders- rushed to help him, but he wag unre- sponsive when pulled Trom the Gulf. A nurse who was present performed CPR un- til emergency medical ser- vices personnel arrived. An ambulance took Colgate to Gulf :Breeze Baptist Hos- pital, where doctors pro- nounced him dead. He' and his wife report- edly owned a condominium . near where the accident-. occurred. Colgate was not wearing a life jacket, There have been 32 con- firmed fatal boating ac- cidents so far this year in Florida. In 2008,, the-re were 26 at this point. With more than 1 million regis- tered vessels in Florida and countless'others brought to the state by tourists, FWC staff say the No. 1 thing boaters should do to avoid fatal boating mishaps is to, wear a life jacket any time their vessel is moving. TDC CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.-C from entering the structure. Executive director Sonny Mares said they would look into it and report at the next' meeting. Mares also commented on the "Leave No Trace" cam- paign of the TDC and about, how the program is going to progress. "In the first two years of the program, en- forcement has been prima-- ry. There has been a lot of discussion about- switching from 'enforcement to educa- tion. This isan opportunity for the TDC to interact one- on-one with people on the. beach through the use of beach ambassadors explain- ing the leave no trace pro- gram as well as the warning flag system," Mares said. When items are not re- moved from the beach, code enforcement will be called in. Unattended items will first be tagged. If tagged items are still there 24 hours later, they will be removed. Once an item is- abandoned, it can be thrown away, but now items will be held for two days in case somebody wants the item back. Mares pointed out this program will lave td be' approved by the Board of County Com- missioners (BCC) and the TDC, is hoping to get it on the June 30 agenda. S"The word is out that Leave No Trace. exists,"' said 'county attorney Mike' Burke. "We feel weprobably have several beach staff members who can interact with the public and explain to them the necessity 'of removing the items. These people will be the eyes and ears of code enforcement. I think if we see that one' person can be effective, we will consider a second person," Mares said. On other matters, Mares said the TDC is looking into taking some new pho- tographs to use in the ad- vertising campaigns and in- stead of paying royalties on photographs by others, will instead hire a photographer and own the images. Mares said this would be cheaper overall than continuing to pay royalties. One of the, reasons for owning images is a plan by the TDC to develop a fam- ily of brochures about area features. When completed, there will be brochures on area dining, golf, art, shop- ping, and other interest- specific brochures. Employ- ees of the TDC will design all the graphics and an on- demand printer has been found which will lower the cost overall. Mares predicts all the.brochures will be fin- ished within the next two to three months. As a final piece of busi- ness, Mary Brown comment- ed CR-30A is beginning to take on the appearance of Front Beach Road in Pana- ma City. "There are vendor merchandise signs lining the roads, as well as a number of other kinds of signs. This concerns me because one of the qualities we market and people comment about is the beauty of the area. If people see the roadway becoming less attractive, they are less concerned about what they leave on' the beach. Code enforcement is allowing the erection of sandwich signs because of the economy," she said. Brown said she has called code enforcement a number of times to no avail. Attorney Burke said he would contact the department. There being no further items on the agenda the meeting was adjourned. Leah Stratmann may be reached ,via leahwrites@ gmail.com There is a serious down- side to having a service like Dish Network in your home - you watch a lot more tele- vision. Yep, I bet I've had my face glued toward the tube more in the past three weeks than I have in the last six months. It's the newness of a bunch of channels, of course, and I hope it soon wears off. I can almost hear my-brain cells dying and if I were much of a drinker, there would be twice .as many dying cells. However, while I'm still enamored of this new aspect of my life, I've rediscovered Anderson Cooper on CNN. Sigh. What a .lot of nice, in- telligent eye candy. I sus- pect Anderson plays for the other team, but the beauty of a fantasy is he can be on a trajectory to my front door if I dream it. Sure, he might show up at my door asking for my opinion on how our new president is doing to round out his Florida sur- vey. I'd tell him I wish the president would spend more time conjuring on fixing the things he promised he would fix and less time seeking out every television camera he can find. I personally want to see some radical changes in how working Americans, who cannot afford even lousy health insurance, can take care of themselves. If I need hospitalization, it will be the Florida taxpayers picking up the tab. As some- one who takes responsibility for myself, I don't want to be a burden to anyone. Unlike many, I don't fault the president for wanting to do dinner and the theater with his wife, but gee whiz, once you are president, the rules change. He is just go- ing to have to adapt and he should have thought the whole dinner and theater' in New York City thing through a bit more. In ad- dition to the cost of getting the first couple to the venue, they screwed up traffic in a city that doesn't need any help with traffic snarls, as well as inconvenienced oth- er diners and theatergoers. I suspect it is not a mistake he will make twice, which is one of the reasons I think he will ultimately make a very good president. There is no how-to-be-a-president hand- book and the man is youth- ful and in love with his wife, so let's give it that one, pro- vided he thinks before he makes reservations in the future. If he makes a habit of this kind of thing, those who voted for him will know they have been bamboozled once again.

Holy cow! Who knew? Like a lot of Ameri- cans, I watched the original when it first came on and I especially liked "Law and Order: Criminal Intent" be- cause of Vincent D'Onofrio. I watched only one episode of the series version that deals with sexual abuse is- sues and found it too close to reality and never watched it again. Now I think all the versions have been o'n at least a decade each, so there are hundreds and hundreds of episodes out there. Another station in my panoply broadcasts numer- ous "Roseanne" episodes, and they are still funny and, except for the absence of computers and cell phones, do not seem a bit dated. The only problem with watching the golden oldies is the com- mercials, and they seem to pack more ads into a half- hour than might have been LEAH STRATMANN there originally, but again, you can tape the stuff and zip right. on by the hype if y6u so desire. , This week, I have' vowed to limit my viewing only to those times when sleep won't come or there is noth- ing else more mentally stimulating I could be do- ing.

HarborWalk Village will be honoring local heroes weekly and giving them a key to the city of Destin. The Red, White and Blue Celebration at HarborWalk Village located on the Des- tin Harbor, is a weekly hon- oring of a local hero at 7 p.m. Each week the celebration will highlight the efforts of people who go above and beyond to make their com- munity better. They are the nameless, faceless people who represent the best in all of us. Local entertain- ment and a Word War II replica flyover will begin at 7:20 p.m. A spectacular fire- works display over the Des- tin Harbor will commence at 8:30 p.m. Weekly fireworks are sponsored by Buffalo Rock Pepsi. -Airman Minkins is a contracting specialist for the 1st Special Operations Contracting Squadron at Hurlburt Field. He has been in the Air Force for a little over two years and has hit the ground running. He is currently serving as the Hurlburt Airman's Council President which drives mo- rale, promotes unity, and encourages professional development through team building activities and ca- reer advancement seminars. He also volunteers for Air- men against Drunk Driving in his spare time and has recruited more than 20 new drivers for the program. Minkins has helped raise more than $14,000 for Mus- cular Dystrophy research, and has run two full mara- thons to support this cause. On Thursday, June 11, HarborWalk Village hon- ored Turf Care Superinte- nant Doug Higgins from Re- gatta Bay Golf and Country Club. HarborWalk Village is honoring local heroes and giving them a key to the city of Destin. Higgins pulled a woman from her car on the morn- ing of Tuesday, March 31 after she drove into a small pond on the Regatta Bay Golf Course. When the car stopped sinking, it was sub- merged 95 percent, said Bronson Coleman, a battal- ion chief with Destin Fire Department. Before rescue workers arrived, Higgins, a Regatta Bay superinten- dent, pulled 59-year old Lin- da B. Alek out of her car. "I was on the 16th hole, and I could hear tires squealing," said Higgins, who was mak- ing his morning rounds in a golf cart. On Wednesday, April 8, Higgins was presented Des- tin Fire Control Chief Kevin Sasser's first ever Chiefs Lifesaving Award for his "selflessness and bravery." Blue Mountain groups merge plans, height limit ordinance moves on Roll Call Walton County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) June 9 special meeting A yes vote was to approve the motion.

The motion was approved unanimously. By LEAH STRATMANN After several months of contention, the two groups representing slightly differ- ent neighborhood plans for a Blue Mountain Beach over- all district finally settled their differences. After four meetings mediated by Gerry Demers, director of the de-, velopment services division of the planning department, the groups have agreed. "I was asked to mediate with the two groups and try to come back with a plan to please both groups," Dem- ers said. "We met four times and both groups were very cooperative." Among the concessions made were special setback distances for Gulf front ho- meowners. The district will also allow for some conces- sions to be made in the event storm events erode land par- cels to the point where there is no longer room to meet the parking space require- ment. Currently, if a' home has four bedrooms, there is supposed to be room for three parking spaces. How- ever, if a home is destroyed due to a storm and needs to be rebuilt, there may be less space for parking. Planner Mac Carpenter said, "A lot of work has gone into the two plans. We have reviewed them for consis- tency with the comprehen- sive plan and the land de-' velopment code. We would like to recommend the plan- ning commission listen to the public comment and then postpone until the July meeting for final adoption. It would allow advertising for the combined ordinance, and also allow for a clean version of the .ordinance to be posted on the Internet." Citizen Susan Lucas said, "We have been working on the plan since 2005. We feel we finally have a good solid plan that everybody agrees on and takes the interest of everyone in the neighbor- hood into consideration. We would like to encourage the commission to consider the plan and move it forward," she said. Rodney Dorand, one of the mediators and part of the beachfront contingent, said he wanted the per- centage of property owners needed to change the plan to be 66 percent, to protect beachfront owners. The way the ordinance is written now calls for 66 percent of the re- spondents, rather than 66 percent of the owners. Anita Page said, "It would be very difficult for a group of neighbors to usurp the neighborhood plan. The 66 percent of responders is just a number that has to agree to take it through the whole process it has already gone through." There was also some con- cern about the beach access- es, which are maintained by the South Walton Tour- ist Development Council (TDC). Commissioner Ran- dy Gardner said, "The con- cern is public versus neigh- borhood beach access. The TDC maintains the beach accesses and should not have to consult with anyone to maintain the accesses." Commissioner Tom Ter- rell said, "We have had this thing back and forth for quite a while. This seems as close as we are going to get. The ordinance will protect the TDC in maintaining a pub- lic access and not infringe on anyone's property rights. I see it as a pretty complete document as it stands." A motion was made to ac- cept the document with the changes and moved along tof the Board of County Com- missioners. The only other two items considered on the agenda were the acceptance of a countywide height ordi- nance, which calls for limits on height to 50-feet for resi- dences, 75-feet for commer- cial, and 100-feet for indus- trial areas. The ordinance notes the exception in height for Point Washington at 32- feet and Grayton Beach of 40-feet. The final item was the ac- ceptance of the master plan for the Boys & Girls Clubs.

Mattie Kelly Arts Center: Apalachicola River: An American Treasure The galleries at the Mattie Kelly Arts Center at North- west Florida State College will present a new exhibit June 21 to July 24 - Apala- chicola River: An American. Treasure. The exhibit is free and open to the public. Apalachicola River: An American Treasure is the culmination of the work. done by five individuals who tell the story of the "big riv- er." It shares the history of the people who make their living from the river and deals with the politics and water wars between Ala- bama, Florida, and Georgia. Through their photographs and film, the artists are able' to capture the unmarked beauty of the Apalachicola River that is not often seen by the public. They high- light places such as the Riv- er Styx, Kennedy Creek and Tupelo Creek. World-renowned' photog- raphers Clyde Butcher and Richard Bickel depict the land and people that make up the Apalachicola River. Butcher has captured na- ture's seductive beauty with his stunning black and white landscape photographs for over 35 years. For the past two decades Butcher has photographed the Florida landscape, producing exqui- site images of the diverse coastline and waterways, prompting many to refer to him as "the Aosel Adams of the South." In this ex- hibit, Butcher explores the sprawling landscape and takes viewers on a journey where they have not been before. Richard Bickel is a photo- journalist who has worked on assignments in over 70 countries for publications such as The New York Times Magazine and National Geo- graphic. Bickel's portraits reveal the spirit and vital- ity of the people whose lives are directly impacted by the Apalachicola River. His im- ages include fishermen and their families who depend upon the river for their sur- vival. With the contributions made by filmmaker Elam * Stotzfus, noted screenwriter Jane Atkins and composer Sammy Tedder, the accom- panying film shows the im- portance of the Apalachicola and the message of conser- vation. This exhibition has received many accolades and been' screened at"a va- riety of film festivals that include the Houston Inter-. national Film Festival and the Napa - Sonoma Wine Country Film Festival. Gallery hours for the ex- hibit are Monday to Thurs- day, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sun- days from 1 - 4 p.m., and 90 minutes prior to most. per- formances in the main stage theater of the Mattie Kelly Arts Center.

At a public workshop last week, Billy McKee, an en- vironmental planner with public works, explained the chronology of what has oc- curred recently on Oyster Lake. After heavy rains threatened electrical and septic systems to homes along Oyster Lake, an emer- gency permit was granted on April 2, 2009 to open the outfall. "When public works staff evaluated the options, it seemed clear using the property of Lisa Boushy was the only option available to open the lake. Ms. Boushy granted permission to use her property for an emer- gency opening along her eastern property line, but only if the county agreed to restore her property to its previous state," McKee said. The county contacted the Florida Department of Envi- ronmental Protection (DEP) to begin the emergency pro- cess,. County survey crews mobilized to mark property lines and equipment was brought onto the site. The, permit from the DEP has not yet been approved' and to date, no dirt has been placed. Dick Francher, of the Pensacola office of DEP, said his office is only waiting for proof of publication of the notice of application, then the permit will be granted and the Boushy property re- stored. The problems with Oys- ter Lake are long-standing and over the years there has been much tampering with the outfall, some by the county and some by oth- ers without permission or permits. After Hurricane Opal in 1995, Bill Hemby sued Wal- ton County,, claiming the county dug a new trench, which caused the lake's drainage to go through the middle of the four Hemby- owned lots west of the out- fall. The drainage then pre- vented the Hembys from building a beach house for which they already had a permit. The original lawsuit was won by Walton County, ac- cording to county attorney Mike Burke. The Hembys then appealed the ruling to the First District Court, which -reviewed the order and overturned it by a vote of three to two, claiming the county took the property by virtue of eminent domain and the Hembys were en- titled to compensation. Walton County and Burke contend the First District judgment is an egregious er- ror and asked for a review by all the judges in the First District, which was subse- quiiently denied. The matter has since been sent .to the Florida Supreme Court to review the reversal decision by the First District Court. Since the beginning of all, the regal wrangling, both of the .Hembys have died and Hemby's daughter and son- in-law, Gary Drake, are now pursuing the lawsuit. In the meantime, attor- ney Stan Chapman, who represents Hemby/Drake, made a compromise offer to the county. The Drakes are willing to give the county a permanent easement along the west side of the property to the Coastal Construction Line (CCL) and from that point forward the outlet could meander naturally. The Drakes want the coun- ty to declare that the cur- rent outfall is not a natural outlet, which would grant the way for them to build a house. They also seek dam- ages in the way of legal fees. According to attorney Greg Stewart, who outlined the offer, "It is a worst-case scenario for the county. Al- though it would allow for an outlet, it is not the best out- let," he said. Drake read a statement saying the outfall is not in its natural place and hasn't been since the construc- tion of CR-30A in 1959. Drake claims the outfall was at least 300 feet west of its current location prior to the construction of the road. Further, he'said, "The Hembys have never sought to block the outfall, and the Court's ruling in the Hem- bys' favor did not authorize anyone to block the outfall. That has never been an is- 'sue in the case, although that has been reported as being an issue. The continu- CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1-C ous below-ground sandbags that have been called a bermm' was constructed by the Hembys in accordance with a court order that ex- pressly recognized the Hem- bys' right to seek to provide additional protection for their property, and was sub- sequently ditched through by the County, without per- mission, in 2005. The Court order I am referring to is public record, easily con- firmed, and my wife and I take exception to the con- tinuing barrage of untruth- ful statements that falsely accuse my wife's deceased parents of illegally blocking this outfall with a berm. "The appeals court ruling in our family's favor only recognized that the Coun- ty had redirected the flow across our property where it did not flow before and found that the County was using our property as a drainage easement after emergency flood relief conditions had passed. Under these cir- cumstances, the Florida and U.S. Constitutions require that the County pay the pri- vate property owner what a jury says is full and fair' compensation for that pub- lic use of private property," Drake said. Oyster Lake resident Jacquee Markel said, "This is just such an emotional is- sue. We are talking about Oyster Lake here, but we are also talking about sav- ing the coastal dune lakes. It makes my heart sink to think about the possibility of compromising our lakes. I appreciate you allowing us to come and speak to you about this. Whatever hap- pens on the south side of 30A, affects those of us on the north side of 30A. We want the bridge and drive- way replaced. The residents have been the most patient people in Walton County. When I built my house in 1991, there was talk about replacing the culvert. Jt is now 2009. I don't think you could ask a single resi- dent who would want sand brought into the sweep area of an outfall," she stated. "Oyster Lake opened nat- urally over the weekend and it is exciting when we see that," Markel said. "Your agreement with Ms. Boushy is a nightmare for us. I still don't have a clear answer to why Walton County cannot enforce permits issued in our county. The perfect example is the Boushys now have a permit they don't want hon- ored because the DEP has not enforced the removal of the Drake armoring. "I know you made this ar- rangement with Ms. Boushy, but it does not seem like a good idea. I know why you did it and I know your job is hard, but to bring sand in now that the lake is fi- nally working...I look at the drawings of where you plan to bring in the sand and it, looks like you will close' off the outfall again, which brings' us back to zero," she concluded. Board of County Com- MOVIE REVIEW "The Taking of Pelham 123" a slick remake of '70s classic By BRUCE COLLIER`' Denzel Washington's, name over the title can get me into pretty much any movie, even a rem.fk6iof a, film that was. good enough not to need' remaking. A film like, say, "The Tak- ing of Pelham 123." Tony Scott directs Washington, a beefy, tattooed John Tra- volta, John Turturro, James Gandolfini and much of New York's Metropolitan Tran- sit Authority (MTA) in the summer's latest action flick. In. case you are not familiar with Joseph Sargent's origi- nal. 1974 film, or haven't seen a trailer, here's the premise. A group of well- armed criminals hijack and disconnect a single train car from the MTA's Pelham Bay subway line ("123" refers to the train's departure time' - 1:23 p.m. - from Pelham Bay station in the Bronx). They hold the passengers in- side for $10 million ransom, deliverable in one hour. For every minute the money is late, they promise, a hos- tage will be murdered. Travolta plays Ryder, the head bad guy. Wash- ington plays Walter Garber, the MTA dispatcher who is Ryder's first contact 'once the hijack has been effected. A police hostage negotiator named Camonetti (Turtur- ro) is brought in, but Ryder insists on dealing with Gar- ber. Their contact is 90-per- cent conversational, as they. spar and negotiate over a microphone communication system. Meantime, one of the hostages has been se- cretly communicating via laptop with his girlfriend, who puts the entire drama over the Internet. Yeah, the '74 film didn't have any -of that. Also, New York 2009 looks a lot sprucer than the Big Apple did in the dreary '70s. Part of the appeal of the original film was its washed-out atmosphere and the' rattletrap condition of the MTA, with its creaking cars, graffiti scrawled every- where, and everything bust- ed that could be busted. By contrast, this is post-9/11, post-Giuliani, slick and ef- ficient New York, with lots of energetic cops, clean cars, digital MTA tracking sys- tems, and everybody - that's everybody - wired up to the outside world. The pace is much faster, to ratchet up the tension. How much actual ten- sion is there? About half the heist films made in the anti-establishment '70s had the bad guys getting away with it.. Nowadays, things are different. You gotta face the music, maybe not the law's misic, but some- body's music. Especially if you take life. Ryder and his guys take life, suddenly and brutally. There's practically. no humor in "Taking of Pel- ham 123," though Washing- ton, Travolta and Turturro can all be very funny guys. Much of what there is comes from Gandolfini as a lame- duck mayor, dealing with a. tabloid marital scandal and counting the hours un- til he leaves office. Urged by a deputy to make a press statement for a "leadership" moment, the mayor sneers, "I left my Rudy Giuliani suit at home." The end seems pretty much foreordained, so the entertainment comes from watching how high- tech a spin they put on the proceedings. Ryder and his ,posse, despite the thoroughness of the plan (one of them is a former MTA employee, trained in the workings ' of the subway routes), run up 'against a combination of su- perior surveillance systems and Garber's coolheaded- ness. "Keep him talking," Camonetti advises Garber. "Don't enter his reality." Garber gains Ryder's con- fidence, and the troubled villain is soon leaking bits and pieces of personal infor- mation that reveal his true identity and intentions. A loose cannon to start with,, Ryder gets looser and looser as the deadline approaches. He has a murderous tem- per, and a mysterious but abiding grudge against New York. Will it prove to be his undoing? Gotta buy a token - I mean, a Metrocard. The MTA got rid of subway to- kens in 2003. And don't let it scare you away from New York - like Sinatra said, it's still a wonderful town. THIS HISTORIC CHAPEL, two blocks north of Old lighwcy 98, served as a place of worship for the Nitsos family. The family constructed the Frangista Beach resort, naming it after their hometown in Greece. MURMURING SURF, Old Highway 98's pioneer resort, got a modest start in 1949, with new property owner Jack Terry from Memphis constructing the first cottage with his own hands on 150 feet of Gulf front. One cottage a year was built through. 1952, and additional buildings were added later. Murmuring Surf's sign and some of its structures remain, but the resort is no longer in operation. OLD 98 the group has held several meetings, with approxi- mately 30 people attending one of the gatherings. Following up on Macha- mer's requests on behalf of the groups, Jones made sev- CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1-C eral motions. The first was to develop Scenic Gulf Drive policies and a plan to be con- sidered for inclusion in the Walton County Land De- velopment Code (LDC). The second was to consider an amendment to the LDC to designate Scenic Gulf Drive as a Walton County scenic corridor. The third was to approve the resolution sup- porting Scenic Gulf Drive's application for state scenic highway status. Those three motions were approved by unanimous vote. Dotty Nist may be con- tacted at beachbreezenews@ gmail.com . missioners chairman Sara Comander commented the county has asked the DEP to enforce ordinances against armoring at Oyster Lake, but "the lawsuit is a huge impediment to enforce- ment," she said. Burke said, "The offer to settle is just something we have to let people know about. This impediment is why we are going to the Supreme Court. We have to eat the apple a little bite at a time," he said. County administrator Ronnie Bell said the water management district and the Army Corps of Engineers all want to see the project on Oyster Lake completed, but the lawsuit has delayed ev- erything and tied the hands of the county. Anita Page, executive di- .rector of the South Walton Community Council (SWCC) asked, "If we prevail in the lawsuit, what problems will be solved?" Burke answered saying, "The county will be allowed to put in the culvert, build. a bridge and remove the ar- moring." Immediately after the conclusion of the workshop, county attorneys met in ex- ecutive session to discuss the offer by the Drake fam- ily. At press time, no infor- mation had been released about the recommendation of the attorneys to the coun- ty regarding the offer. Leah Stratmann can be contacted at leahwrites@ gmail.com. PAGE 4-C If you have been watching the boob tube over the past few months, you might have noticed that there is a fight going on between the liberal, and conservative media. At what point should the government say enough is enough, or should they even get involved? ....-....-.............-------- --------- It seems that no matter what station you watch, whatever paper you get your news from, or what radio show you tune into for the latest gossip, it is a constant bombardment from both the conservative and liberal side, of the media. Be it. about the president, about former President Bush, Hillary Clinton, or Sarah Palin, the airwaves and print media just don't know when to "let a dead horse lie." Since the campaign wars for the president's job began to get heated in January of 2008, the media has had a field day with jokes, puns, slaps and jeers at the candidates and their families, friends and political - parties. There's been a constant "dumping" of jabs to the far right side, and a constant criticism about those on the left side. SOne example of the never-ending joke target, Sarah Palin, former v.p. nominee, was getting ragged on the David Letterman . show. Letterman referred to her minor daughter getting "knocked-up" by a Yankees baseball player in the seventh-inning stretch, and Palin herself, looking like a Z'slutty. flight attendant." The. joke got many laughs from his studio audience, but got the nation -heated and ultimately fired back at the late night comedian. More than a million e- mails, calls, letters and text streamed in overnight to CBS, who did not make a formal apology for Letterman's remarks about Palin's daughter. Oddly enough, Letterman made a half-hearted apology to his audience, without saying "I'm sorry" to Palin and her daughter directly. Letterman's ratings have been falling steadily PAGE 5-C. to his, late night competition, and he is not the only talk show host that has been given the raised eyebrow from the studios when it comes to their one-sided views. The long-time advertisers of these shows . have also begun pulling out from the advertising line- ups and have cut millions in advertising revenue, to an already floundering media source, the late night talk shows. It does not matter if you watch Hannity and the O'Reilly Factor on the FOX News Channel, or AC 360. and Lou Dobbs on CNN, it. has become a struggle between these two studios, for audiences. From who can get the first interview with a fallen beauty queen, to having a reporter actually walk behind the. president and sprinkle rose petals, these news stations have exploded in ratings, with the FOX News Channel ranking in the top three spots with talk shows, over CNN in the latest Nielson rating. But have you heard the latest that is happening and what is not being done about it, except for fingerpointing? . Woman, especially those in the media spotlight, are always a target for the media, from them gaining weight and having an idea for a better America, to' whom they' are sleeping with or why they voted the way they did on an issue. As mentioned earlier, Clinton, Palin, Pelosi, Obama, all have had their time in the media spotlight, and all have had to face the music when the six o'clock news hit the air. But now they say that the media needs to be controlled by the government toput a stop to all the "bad talk" that is going on in American news reporting, be it against woman, terrorist groups, even other religions. Many. e l. L C't say the government should control the media just like they are trying to do with the auto makers, the banks, healthcare and other businesses that were once owned by a free- enterprise nation. I know you probably think that with all the new "czars" that Obama has appointed, we should be grateful that we are returning to the tyrannical rule of Mother Russia. They were appointed to report back to the president to let him know how he is spending our tax dollars. Despite massive public' outrage .on this decision and the way that banks, hospitals, factories, auto makers and even .the media is snapping back, there are still those out there who want a bigger government and less freedom of speech, be it from a liberal or a conservative perspective. In the latest media and Internet blasts, there is a group of 200,000 or more that want their time in front of Congress to outlaw Christmas specials on television, Christmas carols being sung in schools, and even Christian programming snatched from the airwaves. They want nothing of Christ, God or Christianity to be heard or seen in any form of the * media. Fortu-nately, millions of those who are Christians and many who say they do not even have a church or attend a church, or blogging, e-mailing, faxing, calling, and plans for a massive protest are in the works, opposing those who want to take God out of mainstream America. Once again, is 'that not a violation of constitutional rights that were given in the United States Constitution? I was impressed a few days ago as I was passing through Freeport and read a bumper sticker that simply said, "there. are 2,000 laws that protect, defend and enforce 10 commandments." It is amazing how true that statement on the back of that little Toyota pick-up truck really was for all of us who have faith and abide by the laws of this land. Do you think government should have a bigger role in the media? Do you think that both the liberal and conservative, Christian and non- Christian, or male or female media-makers, will get a fair and balanced chance to be heard? With .very disturbing and unsettling times in our- nation, and with the way that government seems to be wanting to crack down and do away with freedom of speech, religion and convert, to socialism and bigger government, is it time that we as American citizens get more involved with what is trying to be taken away? Isn't it time that We as tax paying American citizens, have the right to watch, listen, or read whatever we feel like without -the chance of police and soldiers breaking down our door and hauling us off to jail? It has - been a favorite saying of mine for many years and it' seems more apparent today. The saying is, "when you keep the artists from painting, the world goes gray; when you keep the singer from singing, the world- goes mute; but when you hold down the hands that want to take action and create, then you only enlarge the heart that makes you fear that creation the most." I don't think that we really have to worry about North Korea bombing us, or Iran not being our friend, it is apparent that Americans have become enraged over what is happening and the loudest voices, are not those in. Washington, but those who put those elected officials there in the first place. Watch out D.C., those with a voice are getting louder, and both sides of the political fence need to heed the warnings of those they represent! WHO SAYS THAT KIDS have to be under the age of 13?

The project is located on the north side of 98, just east of CR 395 and west of Old Ferry Road, on unnamed wetlands, Class III Waters of the State, Section 35, Town- ship 2 South, Range 19 West, Latitude/ Longitude: 30*21'33.11" N / -86*06'50.84" W, in Walton County. The procedures for petitioning for a hear- ing are set forth below. A person whose substantial interests are affected by the Department's action may petition for an administrative proceeding (hearing) under sections 120.569 and- 120.57 of the Florida Statutes. The peti- tion must contain the information set forth below and must be filed (received by the clerk) in the Office of General Counsel of the Department at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000. Because the administrative hearing pro- cess is designed to redetermine final agency action on the application, the filing of a petition for an administrative hearing may result in a modification of the permit and lease, or even a denial of the applica- tion. Accordingly, the applicant is advised not to commence construction or other activities under this permit/lease until the deadlines below for filing a petition for an administrative hearing, or request for an extension of time have expired. Under rule 62-110.106(4) of the Florida Administrative Code, a person whose substantial interests are affected by the Department's action may also request an extension of time to file a petition for an administrative hearing. The Department may, for good cause shown, grant the re- quest for an extension of time. Requests for extension of time must be filed with the Office of General Counsel of the Depart- ment at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35,' Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000, before the applicable dead- line. A timely request for extension of time shall toll the running time period for filing a petition until the request is acted upon. If a request is filed late, the Department may still grant it upon a motion by the request- ing party showing that the failure to file a -,request for an extension of time before : the deadline was the result of excusable neglect. In the event that a timely and sufficient pe- tition for an administrative hearing is filed, other persons whose substantial interests will be affected by the outcome of the ad- ministrative process have the right to peti- tion to intervene in the proceeding. Inter- vention will be only at the discretion of the presiding officer upon the filing of a motion in compliance with Rule 28-106.205 of the Florida Administrative Code. 2tc: June 11, 18, 2009 In accordance with rules 28-106.111(2) 957J , and' 62-110.106(3)(a)(4), petitions for an administrative hearing by the applicant IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE must be filed within 21 days of receipt of FIRST.JUDICIAL CIRCUIT written notice.

"We, believe cupcakes are the perfect combina- tion of portion and portabil- ity in an individual dessert. Our philosophy is centered around baking wonderful cupcakes every day. We want people to say it is the best cupcake they have ever tasted and a few folks have actually said it, to my de- light!" All of the cup cakes are baked on-site and differ- ent age groups have differ- ent favorites, according to Green. Kids lean toward the traditional, "old-fashioned vanilla bean cupcake with pink frosting. The cake is almost like pound cake and the pink frosting makes eat- ing it more fun." The adult palate is more adventurous, she said. "The hands-down favorite for adults has been the salted-caramel cup- cakes. It's caramel cake with a rich vanilla buttercream sprinkled with sea salt and topped with a. wedge of cara- mel candy. People liked it so much that I'm adding it to the menu every Friday through the end of sum- mer." The standard offer- ing every week includes, "Chocolate Dream," "Va- nilla Bean" and "Key Lime Twist." Green supplements by adding her own tempting concoctions in every week. Some recipes have roots. "MVcCurley's great-grand- mother operated the Dairy Dream Restaurant in Flo- rala, AL., and the recipe for red-velvet cupcakes comes from her recipe box." And Green's inspirations for the key lime cake flavors were "inspired by memories of the endless quest for the perfect key lime pie with her grand- parents in south Florida.". Green and McCurley are utilizing the newest means of marking to get out the word on. their cupcakes. Queen Bee twitters and has its own Facebook following, "our Facebook fan page con- tinues to grow by about 20 fans per week," she said. Their location is perfect and Green said the cup cakes have found a niche. "The community has been so welcoming and hospita- ble to us. Seaside is a great location for a cupcake bak- ery because we complement all the other food offerings available and our customers can walk up in their swim- suits for a sweet treat," and doing business in "Seaside, in your ,flip-flops" is rather sweet in: itself. Look for Queen Bee Cup- cakes on Facebook, call (404) 993-3338 or get a treat in- person and visit Queen Bee Cupcakes in Seaside next to the Seaside post office on CR-30A. -' " BEE ARTFUL AND SWEET could be the cre- - do for Queen Bee :. 7 Cupcakes.
