Still, the damp chill of Thursday, March 31, was not enough to deter the more than 30 officers who came out to raise awareness for the Special Olympics Flor- ida State Summer Games. Individuals representing the Walton County Sheriffs Office, DeFuniak Springs Police Department. State Probation Office, State Pris- ons, the Walton County Jail, State Attorney's Office, and the Florida Highway Patrol carried the Special Olympic torch 1.5 miles down U.S. 90 through downtown De- Funiak Spring.. concluding the route at the steps of the VI\\'lIi Clounty Courthouse. The Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) raises an average of $34 million worldwide for Special Olym- pics programs and more than 85,000 law enforce- ment officers from .15 coun- tries participate each year. Annual torch relays similar to the Walton County run take place in 60 counties around Florida, with more than 3,000 members of 300 state and local law enforce- ment agencies volunteering to carry the flame of hope a combined distance of close to 1,500 miles. The 2011 Florida Torch relay began in Century and will end in Orlando on May 13 in time for the opening ceremony of the Special Olympic Florida State Games, held each year at Walt Disney World's Wide World of Sports. LETR Regional Coordina- tor Julie Bowman said start- ing the relay in the Panhan- dle carries with it unique challenge., namely securing spon.cor.hiip. especially after last year's BP oil spill com- bined with the nationwide recession to rock the Gulf Janie Griffith seeking DFS City Council Seat 1 Campaign announcement submitted by Janie Griffith I am Janie Griffith.

Though the purpose of the torch run is to raise awareness more than to raise money, but Bowman said both go a long way toward making sure as many athletes as possible get a chance to attend the state competition. "The economic crunch has been really hard on the Pan- handle but every year we get more and more support from our officers," Bowman said. "If it wasn't for what we do, there would be a lot of athletes who probably would not be able to attend Special Olympics." State Correctional Pro- bation Specialist Eugene Mims, who headed up or- ganiiizition of the Walton County torch run, agreed with Bowman's assessment.

In support of the 4-H Na- tional Mentoring Program, The Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Preven- tion (OJJDP) has awarded a $5 million grant to National 4-H Council. The grant will support the implementation of 4-H mentoring programs in 47 states. The Univer- sity of Florida, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, 4-H Youth Development Pro- gram selected Walton Coun- ty as one of the two sites in Florida to replicate the 4-H Tech Wizards mentoring program. Walton County 4-H work- ing in cooperation with the Walton County School's will begin the 4-H Tech Wizards program at Walton High in April 2011. The 4-H Tech Wizards will engage youth in a group mentoring pro- gram with science, technol- ogy, engineering, and math education in an after-school setting. During the school year, youths in grades 7-12 engage in experiential, hands-on learning activities with real world applications. Over the summer, youths will participate in a sum- mer science program, field trips, and service learning projects. In addition youths will participate in a week- long science and technology camp at the University of Florida. At the same time, par- ents of the students are of- fered the assistance and ed- ucation they need to support their children in their edu- cational achievement. Three key principles are infused into the 4-H Tech Wizards program including small group mentoring, commu- nity service, and community outreach. It has been demonstrated that a trusting relation- ship with a caring adult can have a life-changing effect on a young person. Walton County 4-H Tech Wizards program is focused on men- toring strategies to create positive outcomes for the youth. Research data indi- cates that mentoring pro- grams have reduced first- time drug use by almost 50 percent and first-time alco- hol use by 33 percent. In ad- dition, mentored youths dis- played greater confidence in their schoolwork and have improved their academic performance. Interested in joining the 4-H Tech Wizards program?

In fact, he was living the quiet life of a retired educator, when one day, while shaving, a sen- tence popped into his head: "He was a pear shaped man of average intelligence." This single sentence be- came what is currently a four-book series concerning 1940s Detective Shawn Mc- Cormick and his sidekick Maxine O'Conner. Udor's shaving epiphany occurred during May of 2008. That very day he sat down and wrote two chapters and let his wife look at his ac- complishment. "This is pret- ty good," she said. Shortly thereafter, the two of them took a trip to England while carrying a composition note- book. By the time they came home the notebook was full and his first novel The Book was soon completed. Udor's first foray into the detective genre was published by the fall of that same year. "When I sit down, and write I have no idea where the story is going," said Udor recently. "What comes out of my fingers comes out of my fingers. It is the strangest thing, it is almost like there was a writer born inside me and he wants to come out." Since The Book was pub- lished, Udor has completed three more novels in the se- ries. He feels his books are unique in today's literary world because of what they do not contain rather than what they do contain. "With all the chaos in the world we are inundated with bad news," he said. "It is nice to read a book con- cerning a more sane period of time. My writings contain no bad language, no embar- rassing sexual situations, no violence and the good guy always wins. The books are based on my morals aInd values. I write these books, it part, for my mental well- being." Although Udor has re- ceived a limited amount of commercial success he feels there are other reasons for his writing. "This is primarily a hobby for me," said Udor. "Make no mistake about it, I would love to be a commer- cially successful writer but the truth is this gives my life purpose. A person can escape into my books and find a happy ending. I want the reader to feel good at the end. If I can accomplish that I am gratefull" The other books in the series are Kllli/f/'s 'lab'lt, Wriith of the Dark Circle and 77'/ St'rpen.t's' T'aurs. They cann be purchased in I)eFluniak Springs at.

Claritin-D, Sudafed, and all the other-decongestants have all been my friends throughout the pollen seasons of this year and years past. Anyone who has had to purchase these meds knows that you have to give over quite a bit of personal information to purchase an over- the-counter medication that does not require a prescription. All of this personal information, in- cluding your driver's license goes into a state and federal data bank called Meth Check. Walton County Commissioners passed the Meth Check ordinance with urging from our Sheriff Mike Adkinson on Jan. 27, 2010 in order to fight the meth epidemic we face in our county. I was fine with giving my information five years ago when stores first started collecting informa- tion, and I am fine with sharing my information on a state and federal level to stop the meth epi- demic that rips families apart and destroys lives. The makers of these drugs fund the data base so no taxpayer funds have to be used to keep the da- tabase up and running. Which brings me to the point of this edito- rial: Seven people a day die in the state of Florida due to overdoses on prescription pain killers, not counting the loss of income, families and resourc- es of those that are addicted. It is an epidemic in my opinion greater than we face from meth. now. State Sen. Mike Fasano, R-New Port Richey. one of the sponsors of a database and a major pill mill law in 2009 to track pain med prescriptions in the same way allergy medications containing pseudoephedrine are tracked, has watched in dis- belief, with many including myself, as Gov. Rick Scott has said he will veto the legislation due to cost, an invasion of privacy and what he does not consider the role of government. The makers of one of the strongest pain pills, OxyContin, has pledged $1 million to the data- base for startup and are agreeable to funding in the long term to stop the "Flamingo Express" as it's called, due to the high amounts of pain rmeds that are purchased in Florida and sold outside of the state. Thirty-eight other states are already using a database and the drug pushers now have to come to Florida to purchase them. After a public outcry, Scott has decided to fund more law enforcement with $800.000 in leftover federal funds, a.k.a. taxpayer dollars, to enable police investigating an overdose by pain killers to be informed of who prescribed them and where they were filled. Yes, you'll have to die be- fore they are tracked down. There is much more in play with these bills and Scott's stance on them. Parts of the legisla- tion may hinder small business and the veto of the bill may enhance Scott's $62 million invest- ment (now in his wife's name) in walk-in clinics that prescribe these meds. New talk is that no one at a walk-in clinic can get more than three days worth of the pills, but that doesn't stop them from going to other clinics to get more. I urge you to investigate all sides for yourself. My main point is this: if I have to hand over everything but a blood sample to get allergy meds, and those families who have loved ones and friends that are addicted to major painkill- ers have to wait until they die to get justice, well, something is really rotten in the state of Florida and that's a hard pill to swallow for me. -O.

Coley and Drake and others in saying, allowing all seawalls constructed after Hurricane Dennis to remain in place and exempt from any permit- ting conditions would be contrary to the overall best inter- est of Walton County in the protection and preservation of the beach and dune system. The county would be better off without the local bill the legislators adopted. The legislator sponsoring the bill told the House Agri- culture and Natural Resources Subcommittee that Walton County "has worked together along with homeowners and )EI' to arrive at language that was agreeable to all par- ties." To my knowledge the only parties that agree with the bill are the affected beachfront property owners. I don't know (of anyone who owns property off the beach that sup- ports the bill. U.S. Fish and Wildlife (FWS) and Florida Fish and Wildlife conservationn Commission (FWC) were not really included in negotiations on the local bill and do not support it. FWS provided an mail dated 12/141/10 to locnl state representatives spelling out what the service re- quired but, it seems to have been largely ignored. The local bill is not. consistent with, and could be in opposition to, the intergovernmental agreement signed by FI)EP, FWS, FWC and Walton County. And in today's political climate FEDP dares not oppose what the legislators want. Some might say the county reached a compromise on the local bill but. the county was drawn into that process and is not happy with the outcome. The bill benefits a small group of people who essentially slowed down a habitat conservation plan (HCP) that would have given them relief. And as they slowed down and de- layed the process they complained to state legislators about how long the process was taking. Hence the legislators in- troduced a bill to give them relief. The representative who introduced the bill wrote the lo- cal bill would likely not be necessary if the county passed an HCP. The county has approved an HCP yet the local bill has moved forward. The county, local residents and state and federal agencies worked tirelessly to develop the HCP and engage all local residents, including those with the of- fending seawalls, in that process. One should also keep in mind there are many seawalls that do nol, comply with current rules and regulations. Prop- erty owners who built the seawalls were told up front they THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY APRIL 7, 2011 Editor: In these depressed economic times it seems unlikely, and unadvisable, that any local small business would turn away customers who bring a reliable source of income to their establishment. But, in Mossy Head that is the case. A recent visit to their sole pizza parlor, one our group has been visiting regularly, twice monthly, for over a year end- ed in a very rare case of being disinvited in the future due to having too many people. Imagine being told not to bring so many people to a restaurant because it takes up the seat- ing, inconveniencing "the regulars." After leaving where we were not welcome, La Rumba, a DeFuniak Springs restau- rant, greeted us with open arms. That was the excuse we were given, that our group of 20 diners, who spent an aver- age of $10 each every second and fourth Monday of every month for over a year, were taking seats from regulars and we would have to not take up so many seats (translation, your group is too big). Needless to say, the insult we were paid that night has left us no choice but to become "irregu- lars" at another restaurant and take our roughly $400 a Editor: The U.S. supported Fidel ('stro's goal of overthrowing (uba's di-cttor in the 1950s. Apparently, our leaders as- sunmed that ('nstro would establish a government accept- able to our interest. Once ('stro was in power, he ran up his coinmunist flag. We helped place a communist country 90 miles off the Florida coast. However, those in control of the United States decided that we must attack communist nations on the other side of the world. Korea and Vietnam. We expend ed close to 100.000 American lives plus untold billions of dollars without real success. It appears to me that we continued to make major mis- takes with our military endeavors right up to the present. Blame cian he equally awarded to both parties in Congress. Our current administration was elected to put an end to month someplace else. Despite the fact that the food is great and the service mostly good, we were slapped in the face in favor of one or two "locals" from Mossy Head who complained about not being seated because the restaurant was full. What res- taurant owner is going to turn down a full restaurant in favor of a half full one? I guess that groups from DeFuniak Springs are not local enough. Maybe Crestview pizza res- taurants will consider us locals. One bit of advice for res- taurant owners in the "local" area, if your tables are full, your cash flow is positive, it doesn't matter who is paying the check. Treat people fairly. Customer service is some- thing in short supply around here and customers keep in business. We don't come in to your business in order for us to provide you something; we pay for the goods and services you render. If you don't keep up your side of the bargain, we will take our money to a business that will. Wes Davis DeFuniak Springs wars that are not a direct threat to the U.S. Now we find ourselves invading a nation in support of rebels without knowing their philosophic goals: Otrr Coridtct has been consistent. The cost of these wars over the last 60 years are primar- ily responsible for the magnanimous financial hole we are in as a nation. I believe that most individuals that run for high government office do so with good intentions. After serving for a short time, they adopt the same attitude as everyone else and forget their promised mission to their constituents. Lou Barber Ruston, La. had to apply for and obtain permanent permits and some did not even apply. Others built seawalls that did not qualify for permits. Now they want a pass on permitting so their seawalls can stay where they built them. Some of these seawalls are 20-feet out onto public property and this bill will allow them to stay there. Many are eyesores still exposed and uncovered by sand. And this bill also does not address the long term impacts of allowing these seawalls to remain nor does it address those walls that were not prop- erly constructed. The local bill does nothing to protect Walton County from liability associated with the unauthorized harm or killing (take) of federally protected wildlife in violation of the Endangered Species act. Given the county approved the temporary seawall permits that could lead to "take," the county could still be found liable, which is a concern they have expressed. The local bill is also likely to have the unintended consequence of discouraging beachfront prop- erty owners from participating in the HCP. which would protect them and especially the county from liability. The local bill could impact other counties around the state. It could set. precedent throughout Florida on how we deal with post. disaster property protection and coastal per- mitting. The bill takes state regulating authorities out of the process. Then there is the issue of the economic impact statement, which must accompany the local bill. It should show any financial impact to the local government or other agencies resulting from the bill. But it was was written by attorneys for the beachfront property owners and does not seem to consider those impacts. At this point the local bill is sailing through committee after committee in Tallahassee unopposed. I don't under- stand it and I don't understand why the county has failed to stop it. After all a local bill is supposed to be a bill the county supports. 1 certainly understand the need to address the current situation, but 1 believe this local bill does not address the balance necessary to provide long term protection of our beaches.

Steve Hammond will be talking trapping and work- ing on tanning hides on the spot. Ron Fowler will be flintknapping, Jim Tucker will demonstrate old tech- niques of Indian bow mak- ing. Ladies from the Florala Senior Center will demon- strate quilting techniques, there will be rug weaving on an old flying shuttle loom. and 10 a.m., a lye soap dem- onstration will begin. Sever- al mule teams will be plow- ing and wagon rides will be available. A log sawing contest will try the strength of some of the area's finest strong men. Homemade mu- sical instruments, beautiful tatted lace, broomstick lace. triangle weaving, cow whips popping, and cornshuck dolls are a few more trea- sures you'll find. The Tri-Cities Kiwanis Club is to be commended for putting this event together for the community. These are things our children need to see and experience to keep them alive in the fu- ture. It is knowledge that should not disappear from the minds and hearts of our community as it is the basis for lifestyles today. Be sure to join the fun and educational experience of Old Timer's Day. GRIFFITH CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1-A make. To grow, you have to bring in new industry for jobs and businesses. I have been involved with Christ- mas Reflections since its beginning. I feel that it has brought people from all over the United States and recog- nition to our town that De- Funiak Springs otherwise would have never received. My family and I have been affected by the econ- omy the same as everyone else. I understand that there are times that you have to budget your money and find ways to cut costs while moving forward. I feel that my years of working with the DeFuniak Springs Her- ald-Breeze and the Walton County School District and living in DeFuniak Springs has given me a chance to get to know the citizens and their wants and needs. I decided to run for the DeFuniak Springs City Council because I want to do my part for the community. I would like for others to have the same opportunity as I have had to be able to live and work here and raise their families without hav- ing to leave to find employ- ment elsewhere. If you are interested in voting absentee please call the Supervisor of Elections office at (850) 892-8113 and request they send you an absentee ballot. Thank you and I hl ope\ you and ytirs have a very blessed day.

It's sending us back to our roots, literally-buy- ing or growing organic foods, shopping locally, eating less meat. For example, news re- ports have shown minor amounts of radioactive io- dine-131 in milk and some fruits and vegetables in 15 states on the West Coast. Months before the March 11 earthquake and tsunami sent Japan into a nuclear tailspin, Dl)teline reported on contaminated fish im- ported 'from Asia. Less than two weeks ago an all-too- familiar scene struck the Louisiana coastline as oil and tar balls washed ashore and 25,000 feet of boom was staged; although the origin of the oil has not been de- termined it's thought to be remnants of the Deepwater Horizon spill. Seafood, any- one? With these recent events, we're all charged with tak- ing control of what we eat and feed our families. Do you know where that gal- lon of milk at a supercenter came from? What about the frozen fish, or the fruits and vegetables? Fortunately, we live in an area where you can buy farm fresh milk at Nature's Health Food Store in down- town DeFuniak Springs and enjoy a nice cold glass knowing it's not from a contaminated dairy farm. As for eggs and other dairy, get a couple of baby chicks from Ace Hardware during chick day April 9 and pro- duce your own fresh eggs. Order artisanal goat cheese from Belle Chevre From- agerie in Huntsville, Ala. (bellechevre.com) where a variety of cheeses includ- ing fig, honey, cinnamon, coffee, pimento, Tuscan and more have been featured in Southern Living, O Maga- zine, Country Living, Real Simple, and Cooking Light. Even better, ask your local grocer to carry it. Buy fruit and vegetable seeds from lo- cal nurseries, or online sites such as groworganic.com or eldoradoheirloomseeds. com and grow a garden with your children. It's a magical way to instill memories and get them to eat produce (it's kind of like Field of Dreams, if they grow it, they will eat it). Buy meat at local sea- food markets or farmers' markets, like the one held in Seaside each Saturday, and when you dine out, sup- port restaurants that sup- port the community, like V Seagrove. The V buys only locally grown, organic pro- duce, and gets its meats and seafood from local farmers and fishermen to support sustainable agriculture and aquaculture. The fantastic thing is these changes can be made one small step at a time. The novice gardener can plant one pot of tomatoes or watermelons (did you know watermelons can be grown in a planter?). Compost this newspaper and save some space in your trashcan. Not ready to house chickens? Frequent a farmer's market or drive through the coun- try, chances are you'll see a sign "Fresh eggs, $1.50/doz- en." Definitely not giving up meat? Buy local meats, read the labels on frozen meats to ensure they are American and FDA approved, or have a meatless Monday, where everyone makes a meal of veggies, pasta, cheese, and bread. Grab some lemonade or wine and make it a pic- nic, and toast Mother Na- ture for giving your family ways to grow closer and be healthier. Salut!

Minis said the level of participation and cooperation between lo- cal law enforcement agen- cies does much to convey a sense of how important it is for the public to be aware of the achievements of Special Olympians within our com- munities. "The torch run is the public awareness phase to show the support of the law enforcement community," Mims said. "The whole pur- pose of the torch run is to give [the athletes] the oppor- tunity to train year round. Because of the current econ- omy, those resources may not be there for donations." Steven Lynn, one of De- Funiak Springs' Special Olympians, was chosen among the 15 other athletes to carry the torch the final stage of the torch run. The 20-year-old said he works out all the time, even at home, where he uses an el- liptical and uses a Bowflex when he can't make it to the gym. Lynn said the run was "not too bad" after all the training he has been through. "This was my first [torch run]," Lynn said. "It was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed it." In spite of his training and competitive nature, Lynn said he won't be attending the Special Olympics World Games, held later this year in Athens, Greece. However, other local Special Olympi- ans will, Patty )ouglass and Greg Floyd among them. Minis said the fact that Walton County is sending several athletes to the inter- national competition is even more reason to get support for the Special Olympics and is, in fact, the whole reason the torch run exists. Mims, who has attended several of the state games, said the spirit of competition carries over into the lives of the in- dividual participants. "The excitement they have when they compete and the spirit they demon- strate is incredible but it's also something they take home at the end of the day after the competition," Mims said. "It's that fellow- ship they have and lthe skills they learn that are going to benefit. them in their lives. That's what. they bring back and share with their family and friends."

The Florida Chautauqua Theatre presents Murder Can Be Habit Forming When a busload of pas- sengers is stranded by a blizzard in upstate New York, they find their way to an old mansion in the woods, now St. Mary's ('on- vent, where the Rev. Mother Mary Cecilia provides them lodging for the night. Un- fortunately, she soon real- izes that among her guests is likely to be a serial killer known as "the Mary Mur- derer" whose victims are all named Mary. Though most of the sisters have been stranded in Buffalo. the four nuns remaining with her all have the first name Mary, as do two of the women on the bus. To add to the list of potential victims, one pas- senger is a flamboyant ac- tress whose TV character is named Mary and another is a retired school teacher who was formerly, you guessed it, a nun named Mary. Be- fore the night is over, the killer strikes! Which person from the bus could he the Mary Murderer? The college professor? The newspaper- columnist? The bus driver? Luckily, police detective Patrick McDougal was also on the bus and takes charge of solving the case. Provid- ing as many laughs as chills, Murder Can Be Habit-Form- ing is a light-hearted mys- tery comedy that reveals the very human side of the nuns as they attempt to stay one step ahead of the killer. Show Dates are Saturday, April 16 at 7 p.m.; Friday, April 15 at 7 p.m.; Sunday, April 17 at 2:30 p.m. Ticket Prices are Adults $12. Students 22 and under $10.00.

Program eli- gibility is based on annual household income; to quali- fy, participant income must not exceed 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Guide- lines. Primary Care services will be provided at the Wal- ton County Health Depart- ment facility located at 362 SR-83 North in DeFuniak Springs, FL and will include primary care clinic, case management, medication assistance, hospitalization follow-up and health and nutrition education. The receipt of Low In- come Pool grant funding has enabled the health depart- ment to expand primary care services to reach more uninsured and underinsured families. This expansion will improve overall health care access in Walton Coun- ty and reduce potentially avoidable emergency room visits by providing a medi- cal home and extended ser- vice hours. Extended clinic hours in the evening and on Saturday will be available soon. Patients should call for an appointment on the day they would like to be seen. Patients must provide proof of income and of Florida res- idency. For more information or to schedule an appointment, contact the Walton County Health Department at (850) 892-8015. ROBIN MASON HORNE (at podium) conducted the NWFSC Flute Ensemble in an April 3 concert at St. Ag- *atha's Episcopal Church in DeFulniak Springs. (Photo by Bruce Collier) NWFSC Flute Ensemble rounds out spring for Lakeside Concert Series By BRUCE COLLIER An appreciative standing- room-only crowd filled St. Agatha's Episcopal Church in DeFuniak Springs last Sunday to hear the North- west Florida State College (NWFSC) Flute Ensemble's "Flues Furioso" concert. The ensemble was con- ducted by its founder Robin Mason Horme. who yielded her baton once for an origi- nal piece by ensemble mem- ber C. Cole Early, who con- ducted his own work. The two part program featured 11 pieces of varying length, several of which were origi- nal works and several of which were composed spe- cifically for flute choir. Between pieces, Home spoke to the audience, in- troducing members of the ensemble and the various kinds of flutes being played. Home herself played a Na- tive American flute for a piece titled "Echoes in the Wind," which also featured a Cherokee drum. The au- thentic drum was loaned to the ensemble by One Feath- er American Indian Art of Fort Walton beach. According to Home, flute choirs came into their own in the 1960s and '70s. Since that time, a great deal of music has been written for them, and works of other composers, including clas- sical masters, have been arranged for flute choir. Founded by Home 16 years ago at then-Okaloosa Wal- ton Community College, the NWFSC Flute Ensemble includes C flutes (most com- monly seen in symphony or- chestras), piccolos, an alto flute, and a bass flute. The latter, a large instrument with a deep and mellow tone, is curved back on itself to keep its keys within the reach of the player. A piano also accompanied the choir. The program offered tra- ditional folk music. "Black is thle (olor of MNI True ILove's Hair," a medley of(lny Nine- ties tunes that included "Hi- cycle Built for Two." "Side- walks of New York." nnd "MNI Wild Irish Rose." an Eliz- abethan-styled pi'ce titled "Masques." ('hristian and spiritual tunes like "Simple Gifts" and "Let There Bie Peace on Earth." and two multipart compositions, "Seven Southern Sketches" and "Helen's Backyard." The former was inspired by vari- ous natural and man-made sights in South Carolina. Florida, Kentucky. Tennes- see and the Appalachian Mountains. The latter was a jazz flavored piece that suggested sounds of birds, cats, squirrels and other backyard inhabitants. C. Cole Early, a young flutist and composer who had been a student of Horne's conducted the pre- miere of "The Music oif My Childhood." Early's program notes said the work was in- spired by "the wonderful, beautiful music of my chiild- hood." The program also includ- ed Harold Arlen's "Over the Rainbow" and a comic, car- toonish piece called "Traffic Jam," in which the ensem- ble recreated the sounds of a busy city street. As with all the other pieces, these were well-received. A reception followed the concert. Walton County man arrested on meth charges On April 4, the Wal- ton County Sheriffs Office (WCSO) arrested Michael Adams, 26, of the Mossy Head Community in Walton County, on methamphet- amine drug charges. The WCSO investiga- tion began after deputies responded to a domestic dis- turbance at 355 Woodlands Blvd. WCSO deputies con- ducted a registration check of a vehicle parked at the resi(denc:(e ndl confirmed the vehicle to beI stolen. WCSO deputies subse- quently searched the ve- hicle and located hazardous chemicals used to produce methamphetamine. Adams was charged with one count each of posses- sion of a listed chemical and producing methhamphot.- amine, both second-degree felonies; and one count each of amphetamine and pseu- doephedrine trafficking, both first-degree felonies. He was booked into the Walton County Jail.

"-^' Soon a year will have passed since the Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf. From the beginning, we have taken responsibility for the cleanup. Our commitment to the Gulf remains unchanged, as does our responsibility to keep you informed. No oil has flowed into the Gulf since July 15th. As our efforts continue, nearly 100% of the waters are open and the beaches are clean and open. To ensure its safety, Gulf seafood has been more rigorously tested by independent researchers and experts than any other seafood in the world. To date, BP has spent more than $13 billion in clean-up costs. An additional $282 million has been spent on environmental issues, including wildlife rescue and restoration of wildlife refuges across the region. We have also committed $500 million to the Gulf of Mexico Research Institute to fund scientific studies on the potential impact of the spill. $5 billion in claims have already been paid. We've committed $20 billion to an independent fund to pay for environmental restoration and all legitimate claims, including lost incomes. More than $200 million in grants have been made to the Gulf Coast States to promote tourism and seafood. This was a tragedy that never should have happened. Our responsibility is to learn from it and share with competitors, partners, governments and regulators to help ensure that it never happens again. We know we haven't always been perfect but we are working to live up to our commitments, both now and in the future.

The ceremony was intended to recognize a member's ac- complishments and com- mission her for an upcoming mission trip to Asia. Due to security concerns her full name and exact location of her destination will not be used in this article. As a 19-year-old, Angie went on a mission trip to south Florida to spread the gospel. That trip resulted in her spending the next four summers talking to and de- veloping fellowship with in- ner-city citizens concerned with hearing about the Bible. These summer trips culminated in a firm belief that spreading the word of God was in her future. "The first summer I was in south Florida I met a man from Peru that spoke to me about his country's need to hear the gospel," Angle said. "He told me that where he lived there were no mission- aries and very few Chris- tians. God gave me a burden to go to other countries and tell people about the gospel of Jesus." Last year Angle went to Peru as a member of the Holmes Baptist Association and met with people who had never seen a Bible or heard the name of Jesus. Her upcoming trip is to Asia and is a two-year commit- ment. She hopes her efforts will establish churches so that after she leaves lo- cal Christians will have a place to worship. According to Angle there are 17 mil- lion Southern Baptists in the United States but only 5,000 missionaries. "I plead with the church- es to encourage young men and women to dedicate their lives to Christ and mis- sionary work," said Angle. "There is a great need in the world for such dedication. Also, the need for Christian people in the mission field is great. I would ask everyone to go on a mission trip." Kenneth Harrison is the pastor of the Northside Bap- tist Church and has been aware of Angie's dedication of service for some time. "Having observed Angie for eight years now and be- ing her pastor 1 am confi- dent she will be used of the Lord to encourage, educate and inspire the people she encounters," Harrison said. "Having been on the mis- sion field myself I am more than confident she will be highly successful. My desire is that through the dedica- tion of Angie others might be inspired to follow in her footsteps." Dr. John Sullivan and John McInnis attended the Sunday afternoon ceremo- ny. Angie had worked with these gentlemen through her mission work. "I sure do appreciate their involvement and par- ticipation in the service," said Harrison.

Every year with out fail, the older kids dominate the event, swiping eggs so fast my kids have ended up crying and coming home quite empty handed. I don't want the same thing to happen to them this year. I don't know where we might attend where they limit the ages. I mean really, how old is too old to be hunting eggs and why don't they do something about the kids that run roughshod over the little ones? Eggtreamly Egged-off mom from Crestview Dear Egged-off I have seen the behavior you speak of at some events and I always wonder why the parents of said children don't teach them to not be so aggressive with the egg finding, but I do know it is sometimes hard to contain their eggcitement. Sorry, just had to use that word. Now, on a more serious note, we have a group in De- Funiak Springs that have held a huge egg hunt every year. The DeFuniak First Assembly of God church has really pulled out all the stops for kids and parents the last few years. One of the things I like the best about the event is they rope off an area for each age group, so every one gets a real chance at the goodies. It seems to work out really well amd there are always enough for everyone. I don't know if they are holding the event again this year, but keep an eye out in our paper, as they usually advertise with us leading up to the event. If that doesn't appeal to you, I would advise you to find some other like- mind- ed moms with children your kids' age and stage your own egg hunt at a local park or a friend's yard. That way you can make sure the little ones get plenty of eggs and fun and no one goes home upset. Good luck and God bless.

Blessings by Anna Quindlen, is a small gem of a novel and one not easy to characterize. In it we find a world inhabited by the stately and elderly Lydia Blessing. living in near iso- lation on a large estate in upstate New York. Living above the garage is her new hired hand, Skip Cuddy whom she has hired after he helps her with her car in the parking lot of Walmart. The pearl of the story begins when an unknown teenaged couple abandons their newborn baby at the garage door of the Blessings' estate. The couple assumes the residents are rich and will take very good care of the baby. It is Skip who finds the baby and who makes the in- stant decision that he wants to keep the small pink bundle of joy. Before landing the job at Blessings, Skip had been in jail for many months for the crime of being in a car while his friends commit- ted armed robbery. Rather than ratting on his friends, he takes the rap and is able to serve out his sentence in county jail. Everyone knows his only crime was driving the car and Lydia Blessing makes no issue of his past. Lydia lives in reverie most of the time, keeping her se- crets and remembering the past. Her beloved brother Sonny and her father domi- nate her thoughts. Her only child lives in another state although the two are not estranged, neither are they close. It is difficult to delve deeper into this angle, with- out destroying some of the suspense of the book, but Lydia's brief marriage and her relationship with her husband, brother and child figure into the story in a big way. Skip is able to hide the presence of the baby, who he names Faith. for several weeks, but ultimately Lydia becomes aware of his secret and become a co-conspirator in taking care of the happy baby. The baby becomes a blessing for both Skip and Lydia as they chart their fu- ture course. This is a nice little book that leaves the reader feel- ing satisfied and without the need to wrap up all the loose ends. JoAnn Ross has written a book without much sub- stance and with several long and totally unnecessary sex scenes that could hi ave been alluded to with much gre:t-- er success. Ao .S/If f'(Puci, is the story of Kate Delant'y. a Chicago police detective' who defies the cop code and testifies against, corrupt fellow police officers. No sooner is the trail over and Kate placed on adminiistra- tive leave, she receives a call that her estranged twin sister Tara has committed suicide in New Orleans. Kate feels in her bones that her twin did not com- mit suicide and soon finds herself hiring Nick Brous- sard, a sexy former New Or- leans police officer and Navy SEAL who is now hustling as a PI to help her find out the truth about her sister. Nick is a native of New Or- leans who came back to the city post-Katrina to try and find out the circumstances of his own father's death, which is also being called a suicide. While his father was a corrupt NOPD cop, he did have his standards and he would never have taken his own life. What unravels is a story of voodoo, prostitution, cor'- ruption, and scams of all types. The story isn't all that bad, but there is a lot of extra window dressing that could have been edited out and the' explicit sex scenes were not at all Ineeded to en- hanc' the story.\ Both of these' titles ar available through the Wal- lah Strllinnn mn\ ' he r'eache d 'i' l'ahti 'r'itrs, gntil.comrn By BRUCE COLLIER Howell Gcib has been working as the resident general manager of the Ho- tel DeFuniak since Jan. 3 of this year. A soft-spoken, self-described "Katherine Hepburn Yankee" from Connecticut, Geib came to this part of the world on a journey "looking for commu- nity." That search has taken him to many other spots as well. Raised in New England, Oilb studied( architecture at. Tulane University in New Orleans for three years before dropping out. Next stop was New York, where he lived and worked for 15 years. Next came Boston, Haiti, Hawaii and the south of France. He worked at a variety of jobs in those plac- es, including design for high- end residential structures, renovation, the hospitality industry and real estate. He recently received his Florida real estate license. Geib's interests also drew him to non-profit entities, where he served on boards of directors and as a volun- teer. He taught at a school for handicapped children, managed a non-profit retreat center, and eventually felt moved to go to France to be- gin a novitiate at a Benedic- tine monastery in Toulouse. Though he found monastic life to be a "pure" commu- nity. and though the Bene- dictinies' mission includes hospitality, it was not a per- fect fit. "I'mn not French." he colln imnted. He decided that his search was not for a mio- nastic existence. but a true community that wa-s part of the outside world. After six months aalnong the Beene- dcttillt', he returned to the United States. o(;b was hired as an ctx- ect'(ive director for a United Nations organization whose punrp)s' vas It promote 1in- t'rniational understanding and tdulcat ion about t ite U.N. This job began only daiysaf'terSept. 11., 2001 and continuedd until 200t:. There followed work at the retreat enterr in tupstatit' New York. niinaging a mixed-ust iproij- ect north of Atlanta, and finally a move to Panama City Beach. The latter step followed his mother's move to that area. Geib helped her relocate and realized she needed someone living near- by. He was working in real estate in the Panama City Beach area, and not making enough money, when he saw a listing at the Hotel De- Funiak for a manager's job. He applied and was quickly (almost immediately) hired. Geib put, his experience to work, "getting to know the property," and determining how best to create an "en- ergetic connection" between the staff' and the property. Ideally, the job involves removing whatever would hinder people's enjoyment of the property and the com- munity, and analyzing the market to learn exactly who wants to stay at the hotel. Geib makes good use of the Internet, which he says "op- timizes our presence," and is also working to stream- line the hotel's systems and come up with different ways to increase business. The key, he says, is to pay atten- tion to the guests' experi- ences and to the details. As for D)eFuniak Springs itself, Geih paid a visit to town before taking the job, .and arrived here in time to take a walking tour of the Iakeyard's Christmas Reflections display. It was his first time, and "not at all what I expected." The Connecticut Yankee was charmed, and continues to be "constantly surprised" by the area. "I'm a community guy. I love community. This town has community in its DNA, naturally. There's a lot that can happen here. The roots of this town can really begin to flower." ESII)EINT G(;ENERAL ?

APRI 7, 2011 Youth Ambassadors Creating "Welcome to our Hometown - DeFuniak Springs" DVD During the last few months. DeFuniak Springs' youth ambassadors could be seen at various community locations. In addition to vol- unteering time at numerous community events, Shani Thrower, Miss DeFuniak Springs and Devero Bog- art. Teen Miss DeFuniak Springs, have been filming segments for a "Welcome to Our Hometown- DeFuniak Springs" DVD. This major enterprise was created out of their lifelong passion and commitment to this commu- nity. With the expert assis- tance of Cathy Mosley of little Cat Productions, Shani and Devero have cap- tured footage of the U.S. 331 South entranceway to their hometown, the historic Lake DeFuniak neighborhood and DeFuniak's City Hall. Local guests such as Sara Commander, President of the DeFuniak Business and Professionals Association, Kim Kirby, the City Man- ager, and Scarlett Phaneuf, of the Walton County Eco- nomic Development Alli- ance have provided infor- BARBARA JONES, the Chautauqua Neighborhood Cen- ter Director, talks with Devero Bogart and Shani Thrower about what the DeFuniak Springs NIVFSC Campus has to offer for new students. native interviews about DeFuniak Springs' many exclusive attributes. These conversations also featured their personal visions for DeFuniak Springs' future. Another segment of the DVD will feature short dis- cussions with the current principals at all DeFuniak Springs public schools. Younger youth ambassa- dors served as guest. hosts during many of this school interviews. The major fo- cus of these educational dialogues is to acquaint a family moving into this area with the various schools and their philosophies on edu- cation. Because both Miss Thrower and Miss Bogart are enrolled at Northwest Florida State College, they were excited to include Bar- bara Jones, the director of the Chautauqua Neighbor- hood Center NWFSC, in the educational component. Because of scheduling conflicts in the past and un- cooperative weather, Shani and Devero have a few final sessions to tape. Tentative- ly, these will highlight loca- tions such as the DeFuniak Library. The Visitor's Cen- ter and The Opinion Place. After final editing, the "Wel- come to Our Hometown- De- Funiak Springs" dvd will be presented to the Visitor's Center on the Lakevard. It will also be made available to local realty offices. Shani and Devero are very excited about the up- coming completion of this community project, but the final step, duplicating copies for the DeFuniak Springs Visitors Center, will require a small monetary invest- ment. To sponsor DVDs or to have some available at your business, contact Te- resa Chambless-Bogart at 687-9747.

Leach's pitching arsenal was devastating against the Seahawks (10-6), with his nasty, biting 12-to-6 curve- ball proving all but untouch- able by South Walton's bat- ters through seven innings of play on Thursday, March 31. Leach gave up just one hit, walked two and struck out 13 of South Walton's batters, paving the way to a 5-0 win for the Braves (10- 6). The dominating all- around performance made it apparent that Walton's pro- gram is in the midst of a re- naissance of late, the Braves having won nine of the last 11 games. In fact, the 2011 Braves have become the most successful Walton club since the 1997 season and Leach said a feeling of excitement is contagious in the dugout. It was the sup- port of his teammates that enabled him to throw his way to a more-than-solid win. "I got comfortable before the game and then went out and my teammates kept me pumped up through the whole game," Leach said. "I just went out there and did all I could do for them. I pitched the best game 1 could pitch." Though Leach stole the show as pitching goes. South Walton's Mitchell 1)'eterson didn't make it easy for Wal- ton to get on either, as he retired 10 batters and gave up just five hits in seven innings. Though Peterson performed admirably from the mound, it was fielding errors which proved disas- trous for the Seahawks, as three of five runs scored by the Braves were unearned. The game was remained scoreless through five in- nings but Walton began wor- rying Peterson and the Sea- hawks' fielders with more and more contact on his theretofore slippery fastball in the fourth. Leach himself got Walton's first hit of the evening, making it to second on the first of several costly errors by the Seahawks. Fel- low Walton pitcher Brennon Orcutt singled on another error and the Braves scored two batters later when Kyle Peterson smacked a short hopper back to Peterson, who threw the ball over first base. Leach and the Braves' infielders retired South Walton's batters in or- der in the top of the sixth. Though Walton scored four more runs in the bottom of the inning, things got off to a rocky start as the Sea- hawks quickly put down two batters. However, all that turned around when Zach Burgess creamed a double, driving in Angus Anderson. The game's outcome was practically writ in stone from then on out, as Orcutt reached to bring Burgess around to make the score 3-0. Another error from the Seahawks outfield allowed Orcutt to score and Clark's ensuing double did the same for Liam Miller. The Braves smelt blood after that and Leach gunned down two batters before the infield picked off the last of South Walton's batters on his way to first, ending the game 5-0 for Walton. South Walton Coach Nick Borthwick said that errors are often the deciding factor in duels between good pitch- ers, aind that was charlen tIhe case in the Seahawks' loss to the Braves. Strangely though, the mistakes didn't come gradually, but instead all seemed to come at the worst. possible moment. "It just kind ofthappened," Ilorthwick said, shrugging. "You can't make those mis- takes with both pitchers on their A-game. The team that makes the fewest mis- takes, they're going to win that game." For Walton coach Rick Dixon the win against South Walton, a pitched county rival if not a district foe, is further confirmation of re- cent comments made to this reporter about the chang- ing culture of the Braves' baseball program. While he heaped praise on his bat- ters, who found the measure of Peterson the second time through the rotation, he was especially proud of Leach's devastating performance on the mound. "Brendan can pitch like that just about every time he comes out and my other pitchers can too," Dixon said. "But he's just about been dominating on the hill. Once he gets in that groove and gets that breaking pitch going, it's lights out."

(Photo by Reid Tucker) Wiles Named South Walton Football Coach By PATRICK CASEY Former Graceville foot- ball coach Bill Wiles was named by the Walton Coun- ty School Board to take over the South Walton football program at the April 5 meet- ing. Wiles, who coached Bran- ford High School the past five years, posted a 25-25 re- cord at the school. Branford competed as one of 59 inde- pendents in the sport in the state of Florida the last two seasons. Wiles began coaching in 1985 when he worked as an assistant to Richard Kennedy at Dunnellon. He was likely on the sidelines during Walton's 28-15 win over the Tigers in a Class 2A state semi-final on the Braves way to a state cham- pionship in 1985. After five years with the Tigers, Wiles took over as head football coach and ath- letic director at Bell High School, leading the school to a seven-win season in his second year there. Wiles took over the Gracoville football program in 1993 and stayed with the Tigers through the 1996 season. In his first, year with the Tigers, he took t he sqlud to their scomdl state chlimi- pionship in the sport with a 24-7 win over lhlle (Glaides- Glades Day High School. Wiles took the Trenton head football coaching job in 1997 since his wife, Melissa, was from nearby Newberry. Wiles stayed at Trenton for five years, taking the school to the playoffs in his first five seasons. Wiles then went across the Georgia border for a two-year stint at Lowndces County High School in Georgia before taking a job at Branford as the defensive coordinator in 2004. He took over as the head football coach in January of 2006. Wiles is a University of Florida graduate and grew up in Dleland after Ibeing born in Tennessee with his family moving to IFlorida when he was in the sixth grade. Wiles takes over for I)a- vid Barren who spent almost, six seasons on the sidelines at South Walton, compiling a 28-31 record at the school before being relieved of du- ties after the first six regu- lar season games. Barron took the sqund to their first to the stalt pinyoffs in 2005 an ttlhir first pi lyoff vic- tory in 20()09. In Novembeilr, lirron was arrested and charged with child abuse without great harm after allegations arose, that he struck a player twice in the throat during an Oc- tober practice. That case is still pending. Steve C(asth' served as South Walton's first foot- ball coach in 200:1 and 200.1, compiling a 2-18 record with the v'arsit y. Charlie MNrtllo took in- terim coaching duties for the final 'four games in 2010, compiling n 2-2 record with the squad.

Orcutt struck out 12 bat- ters on the night and al- lowed only four hitters to reach base with two of those getting gunned down trying to steal. Walton put two runs on the scoreboard in their first at-bat and made them hold up in improving to 10-7 on the season. Brendan Leach provided the big blow by doubling in Angus Anderson and Brandon Hollingsworth with two outs. Walton tallied only four hits in the game and had a pair of baserunners erased on steal attempts to quell the offense. Michael Graziani pitched all six innings for the Bull- dogs as he took the loss. The Bulldogs got their lone run in the top of the second inning as Brandon Head walked, advanced to second on a groundout and eventu- ally scored on a throwing error after Austin Woodard struck out to cut the lead to 2-1. Freeport was not able to put a runner on base after the third inning of play. Orcutt tossed approxi- mately 103 pitches as he walked two batters and hit one. "The wind bothered me some early but I got into a groove around the fifth in- ning. I was able to keep the ball down and get a lot of ground ball outs." In fact, Orcutt did not al- low a ball out of the infield with Alex Brack catching an Austin Woodard pop-up for the only fly ball out of the WALTON'S BRANDON HOLLINGSWIORTH(8) had one of the Braves four hits in their 2-1 victory over Freeport. Walton improved to 10-7 on the year and hosts Marianna in a district contest on Friday at 6:30 p.m. (Photo by Patrick Casey) Liam Miller rates among Walton's greatest athletes by putting the team first By REID TUCKER It would not be unfair to say that Liam Miller ranks among the top athletes to ever walk the halls of Wal- ton High School. The fact that he played and contin- ues to play critical roles in two sports over his four years as a Brave is even more remarkable. Miller put together a two- year run as Walton's start- ing quarterback, turning in a performance that ranks with the likes of such sto- ried names as Jason Roul- hac and David Pope. His 6,043 passing yards in two seasons as a starter helped Walton to an 11-11 record and two playoff berths. As a junior, Miller threw for 3,178 yards in 11 '/2 games with 27 touchdown passes and nine interceptions, followed by a senior year that saw him throw for 2,865 yards with 29 touchdown passes and 15 interceptions. Former Walton head foot- ball coach Lenny Jankowski, who coached Miller through- out his tenure as a football player for the Braves, said Miller's "unbelievable work ethic" manifested itself in the tremendous improve- ment shown by the young player from ninth grade to his senior year. Jankowski even predicted that Miller will have an opportunity to compete for the starting quarterback spot at Troy University, where he plans to pursue a degree in sports management starting this fall, before his time is done there. "In my 16-plus years of coaching football, Liam is the best that I have coached, specifically the QB posi- tion," Jankowski said. "He is a true competitor and his desire to win was second to none. He was a true plea- sure to coach and he will now be the benchmark for what I desire from quarterbacks at the high school level." Some of the standouts of Miller's football career include leading Walton to the playoffs as a junior with victories over Marianna and Chipley in district shootouts that saw the Braves post a 29-14 win over the Bulldogs and a 14-0 shutout of the Tigers on their home field. Though his yardage was not as good his senior year, Mill- er played the majority of his final season without, wide- out Corliss Stone, who was lost, for the year with a knee injury siistalined in the fifth game of the regular ssonaIoI in a contest against lFA'\UI High. Miller also threw for .122 yards with three touch- down passes in a *-2-36 loss at Navarre in 2010 that saw the Raiders have to rally for 20 points in the fourth quar- ter to avoid being upset by the Braves. Miller ranks that game as the highlight of his ft(ot - ball career, even if it was a; loss. "It wouldn't l,' fair fior me to single olie game out but if I had to say oil' gameli that sticks out is the gamlil against Navarr'e." he said. "We cane up short ill that one but our offensive out- put was tremendous in that game. In addition to his suc- cesses on the football field. Miller was also a four-year starter on the baseball dia- mond. He helped lead his teammates through several tough losing seasons until they emerged in 2011 as the winningest Braves baseball team in more than a de- cade. In fact, this season's 6-3 defeat of longtime rival Jay marked Walton's first district win in years. If all goes according to plan. Mill- er's plan to get a run to the state playoffs might yet he a reality as the Braves look to( finish out their season with more (list rict wins. Walton head baseball coach Rick Dixon paid Mill- er many of the sa( (compl)li- ments as Jankowski, hl'ap- ing praise on the veteran catcher's ability to provide solidarity through the lean years leading to this sea- son's successes. Dixon de- scribed Miller as "part, of' the glue that holds the team together." That kind of de- peindability. )ixon said,. is wha t evI'rv Ncoaclh drteamlis of and is what makes Miller thie consummate telin Iplay- e'r. "Ylou need the kinds of kids who are going to stick with you through thick and thin, the ol'nes who arl' go- ing to conttitiu lto give .you 100 percent," I)ixon said. "If you don't liave. a few oft'host' kinds of kids you don't get to the point where we are to- day. Lialn hsil rltally d(oine that for us. Ih 's thle Ityv Iof kid that allows volu tot goi through a couple of losing seasons and colc oulit on thel other side and start to love' forward in the programi" The road to accolades in two sports didn't come over- night for Miller. who started playing both sports at age seven, nor did those victo- ries come from playing as an individual. Even in peewee football and Little League baseball. Miller said he con- stantly strove to put the suc- cess of the team ahead of his own desire to win. He said that attitude is what en- abled him to achieve what he did in his time as a Wal- ton athlete and that is the legacy he wants to leave. "I've always had an ap- preciation for my tealm- mat ls anld coaches because they're tlhe ones who give Ml and others the oppor- tunitie's to win hl ligainmes," Miller said. "I don't likl to try to individualize myself in [foot.lball or haseballj. I want to be remembered as ai guy who didn't put. himself' first and as one who always showed appreciation to his teammates, teachers and coaches." night for the Bulldogs. Walton baseball coach Rick Dixon was pleased with Orcutt's outing. "I tell other coaches all the time I am throwing my sophomore out there. We have a good staff and Brennon battled to overcome some mental errors on our part. I am not surprised. He has talent in locating his pitches and the confidence to throw them for strikes. He battled the hitters and we picked off a couple of runners that saved us some at-bats." Graziani struck out four batters while walking one. He also kept the ball down as the Braves hit the ball on the nose but at Freeport in- fielders for most of the night. 'he Bulldogs recorded only two outs via fly balls in the contest. Freeport (7-7) saw Wal- ton sweep the season series as the Braves won in Free- port 7-0 on Feb. 24. Team Notes: Freeport's Collin Myrick was hit by an Orcutt pitch in the elbow but the plate umpire ruled that he had leaned into the pitch and denied him first base. A few pitches later Or- cutt plunked him in the leg as Myrick earned his way there with a pair of bruises. The wind was swirling and blowing hard enough to lift the caps off the players heads for most of the game. Outfielders for both sides were fortunate that most of the outs were either strike- outs or infield groundouts. Walton is 4-0 versus county rivals with one game left at South Walton on April 14.

The Lady Bulldogs (11-3-1) broke a 1-1 tie in the top of the fifth inning when Laura Ham delivered a two-run single that scored Theressa Johnson and Mary Kate Myrick. Following a walk by Kate Duross, Jaden Jackson knocked in two more runs with a single to left field. Mary Kate Myrick pitched five strong innings and picked up the win for the Lady Bulldogs. The team also defeated Paxton 10-1 on March 28 as Jaden Jackson had a double and a triple while driving in two runs in the victory.

Stateli- ne posted three runs in both the third and fourth innings to tie the contest. Brett DeVall, a former standout pitcher for Niceville High School who went on to become a first round draft. pick by the Atlanta Braves, was cut by the organization on Thursday. DeVall, who was selected by the Braves with the 40th overall pick in the 2008 draft, had ex- perienced elbow issues for a majority of his professional career, and it was a dis- agreement between the two sides on his rehabilitation that ultimately led to the or- ganization's decision to re- lease him. In two years with Atlanta's farm system, the left-hander registered 119 strikeouts to just 44 walks in 170 innings. DeVall is now free from the seven- year contract he signed with the Braves and hopes to sign with another club.

Tables turn on Walton/Freeport rivalry as Bulldogs take the win 3-2 By REID TUCKER An intense pitchers' duel ended in a 3-2 victory for Freeport Middle School's baseball team over cross- county rival Walton. Both Walton coach Ste- ven Wassman and Freeport coach Dan Bump agreed that low-scoring, close games aren't the norm in most middle school contests, but this game proved an excep- tion to the rule. The reason, Wassman said, is because at the middle school level, most batters get hits. That may be what most often happens, but it definitely didn't happen that way on Tuesday, March 29. Bump said Freeport and Walton have fought some close battles in the last few years, often settled by just one run and mostly in Wal- ton's favor. He said it was high time the tables were turned, 'specially considetr- ing Freeportl Middlle's hs- torically underdog status ill matchups against the W\ar. riors. "I think it's about time luck turned around" lHumpn said. "It's nict that for once the breaks went our way. It's nice to knock off one of the big boys." Freeport's Ryder New- man and Walton's Jordan Watkins each had eight strikeouts apiece but New- man gave up just three hits. while Walker was hit five times. Both pitchers walked just one batter apiece. Cole- man Truett. Walton's relief pitcher, came in during the sixth inning and had two strikeouts before the end of play in the seventh. In a game so dominated from the mound, making t he most of time spent at t he plate is critical, as Walton (10-5) found out in the top of tihe sixth. Thet 2-2 dead- lock was broken by the Bull- dogs (11-7) when NNewman crushlid a fly 1ba!ll into dpeep center, which should have lbeen an easy out for Ty- lor Lawnizak. However, he just barely missed the ball. earning the Warriors their second of two errors in the game and putting Newman in position to steal home. Wassman said allowing Freeport to take the lead on the error was what ulti- mately lead to the Warriors' loss. in spite of other chanc- es to stage a comeback in the seventh inning. He said good pitching, make every error twice as costly. "Good teams take advan- tage of extra outs," he said. "[Freeport] got an extra out and they took advantage of it. It was a good game with momentum. In a pitchers' duel, errors kill you...It was a very crucial error and it COLEMAN THIlIE'l"l' came in as a relief pitcher for the Warriors inl Il.c to of tihe scientlh, lwhn hi struck out tw'o of Freeport's batters.

Most at-bats were of the three-up-three-doown variety y until Walton took the lead in the bottom of the fourth when Wat kins hit a sacrifice to bring Rasheem Black- man around to score. How- ever. that deficit was short lived, as Freeport retaliated with back-to-back runs from Hagen Brown and seventh- grader Joseph Sanders in their next at-bat to take the lead. Austin Nelson tied the game at 2-2 in the bottom of the fifth inning only to have the Warriors commit the error that enabled the Bulldogs to get the go-ahead run. Walton looked poised to rally in the seventh inning after both sides 'were retired in order in their subsequent at-bats. Nelson reached on a single but Newman struck out the next two batters be- fore advancing Truett on a dead ball. Newman pulled out all thie stops to give Lawnizak three straight strikes, bringing the game to a close and leaving the Warriors with two runners on. Bump said winning the rivalry game against Walton took away some of the sting out of Freeport's unexpected loss in a recent tournament. The Bulldogs were defeated in the opening round 2-1 by Graceville. a team they'd run-ruled in their past two meetings. What's more, Bump said his team pulled out a win despite being down two starters. Tristan Locke and Nicholas Carroll. both of whom were injured the previous week in a "cat- astrophic dodgeball injury" sustained in PE class. "This was icing on the cake." Bump said. "Our per- formance early in the sea- son left a bad taste in our mouths. This was our first game since then, and I'm really proud of the way [the team] came out and played a solid ballgame. They could have said the season was over but they played prob- ably their best complete game we've played all year. This was really gratifying to see the kids do so well." /PE/'P()I/"'N IVI)EI NEVlMA.N got the bettr of the pitehin battle' a,,ainst 1'illton. as lie struck out eight bat- ters and ,.lave'' up just three hits and one walk in seen in- nings of play.

By David Morgan STAFF WRITER A spokesperson for the event said he expects to spend in excess of $200,000.00 this week for vintage items and precious metals from local residents. At previous events, these transactions stood out: One person sold an old Gibson guitar that was purchased in the 1960's for less than $250.00. A collector at the event paid him $2,175.00 for it. Another person had a pocket watch collection that sold for $4,600.00, with one of the watches making up $375.00 of the $4,600.00 total. A husband and wife brought in a box of old jewelry, wrist watches, coins and 2 German daggers from WWII and left $785.00 richer. This is cool that something like this would come here to our town. Where else would this stuff ever be sold? The Refinery has teamed up with the collectors for a 24 month tour of the United States, both big and small towns, to dig up hidden gems. COINS: All coins made before 1965: silver and gold coins, dollars, halves, quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies. All conditions wanted!

Collectors and Enthusiasts in DeFuniak Springs and Niceville with $200,000 to Purchase Yours! By Ken Mclntosh STAFF WRITER Got Coin? It might be just the time to cash in. This week, starting Monday and continuing through Friday, the International Collectors Association in conjunction with the Ohio Valley Gold & Silver Refinery will be purchasing all types of silver and gold coins direct from the public. All types are welcome and the event is free. Collectors will be on hand to identify and sort your coins. Then the quality or grade will be determined. The better the grade the more they are worth, according to collectors I talked to. With the silver and gold markets high, prices of older coins are too. Any coins minted before 1965 in the U.S. are 90% silver, except nickels and pennies. The coin's worth is determined by the rarity and the grade. Old silver dollars are worth a great premium right now, even well worn heavily circulated ones are bringing good premiums. Franklin and Kennedy half dollars, Washington quarters, Mercury and Roosevelt dimes are all worth many times the face value. While older types like Seated Liberty, Standing Liberties, and Barber coins are worth even more. Gold coins are really worth a lot right now, according to Brian Eades of the International Collectors Association. "This country didn't start minting coins until 1792" says Eades. He explained, "Before that, people would trade goods using gold dust and nuggets. Some shop keepers would take more gold than needed to pay for items purchased. There was no uniform system of making change." The government opened the first mints and began d,',hibujng the coins in 1792. By the beginning of the 19th century, coins and paper currency were wide spread and our monetary system was here to stay. In 1933 Roosevelt required all banking institutions to turn in all gold coins. Once all banks turned in this gold, the president raised the gold standard from $20.00 per ounce to $33.00 per ounce. This was his way of stimulating the economy during the great depression. However, gold coins were never redistributed after the recall. But not all gold coins were turned in. "Many folks during that time didn't completely trust the government and chose to keep their gold" said Eades. These gold coins are sought after by collectors today and bring many times the face value. Any gold coins with the mint marks of CC, D or O will bring nice premiums. Collectors at the event will be glad to show you where to look. Other types of coins will also be purchased including foreign coins, Indian cents, two cent pieces, half dimes, three cent pieces and buffalo nickels to name a few. Collectors warn people against trying to clean their coins, as significant damage can be done and the coin's value lessened. Above: "I'm glad I came in!

By David Morgan STAFF WRITER The first days of the 5 day reclamation drive in DeFuniak Springs and Niceville were a hit with those looking to sell their gold and silver coins. An estimated 55 people left the event with over $200 from old class rings, wedding bands, herringbones and gold teeth. Coins dated 1964 and earlier were bringing big premiums as well. Silver dollars, halves and quarters arrived in large quantities. Lots of gold coins were also brought in. On the other side of the room were representatives from the Antique ITEMS WE WILL ACCEPT INCLUDE: C, ."

They were purchasing all types of guitars, large currency bills dated before 1923, military items and pocket watches. One watch was purchased by a collector in Montana for $835.00. There were piles of sterling silver items like old silverware sets and tea pots. Company officials reported spending over $90,000 the first day of the event, alone. Brian Eades, with the Ohio Valley, said, "We have had an overwhelming turnout this first day, and we expect to get more busy every day this week." The event continues today and runs through Friday.

International antique buyers in tciNv" th .*... and ready to stimulate economy! By David Morgan STAFF WRITER Hundreds of phone calls from local residents poured in to the corporate office of the Ohio Valley Gold and Silver Refinery this week-inquiring about items to be purchased by the team of antique buyers that is on site with OVGSR. The team of buyers this week are purchasing a vast array of vintage items, along with the coins, gold jewelry and sterling silver items that the Refinery usually deals in. It is a local shot in the arm for our economy--the spokesperson for the event expects to spend in excess of $200,000.00 this week in DeFuniak Springs and Niceville, paying local residents on the spot. The spokesperson for the company has explained that these collectors are paying collector prices for the vintage items and it is great way for people to get a great value for their items. ~ PAGE 12-B rTEMS OF INTEREST I'A(;G 1( THE lieFUNIAK SPRINGS IllRAID BRHEZHTHURSDAY, APRIL7,201I ..a.a ,:THURSDAY, APRIL 7F, "O1__ SPECIAL OLYMPICS TORCH RUN Law enforcement officers raise aware- ness of games. 1-A Santa Rosa Beach Centennial time capsule to be placed Tuesday, April 12 Last September, a cel- ebration was held to com- memorate the 100th anni- versary of the founding of Santa Rosa Beach in south Walton County.

Results from reports on oil and dispersant impacts of the oil spill were presented at the Destin City Hall An- nex on March 29, with ap- proximately 70 community members in attendance. Gary Petrae of the Na- tional Oceanic and Atmo- spheric Administration (NOAA) provided a summa- ry of sampling and monitor- ing activities and findings by the Operational Science Advisory Team (OS.AT). Composed of representa- tives and members of vari- ous J.i:inC'i-. OSAT was an advisory board created by the U.S. Coast Guard and enlisted to assimilate data related to the 131 oil spill, identify areas where sam- pling was necessary to guide oil removal, and assess the Ip)'sencel of dispt'rsaint.-- Petrae noted that as part of the OSAT investigations approximately two dozen ves- sels were tasked with tak- ing samples and looking for oil that could be removed. along with dispersants. In deep water, investigators looked for depressed oxygen, an indication of the pres- ence of naturally-occurring microbes that consume oil. Results showed "no oil be- yond the shorelines." Petrae reported. Among other key findings were no exceedances of the U.S. Environmental Protec- tion Agency (EPA) bench- marks for human health or ('OMMUlilNI'Y MEMlliERIS turned out in Destin on March 29 for updates on findings of the Operational Science Advi- sorv Team(n (OSAT).

He said the park service had requested an analysis of im- pacts of "intrusive cleaning" that would be required to clean weathered oil off some of these beaches as mea- sured against those of let- ting the buried oil remain.

The study also indi- cated minimal risk of buried oil on these beaches 1l-aching into groundwater, due to the factors of oil location and its nltinouinig weathering and biodegradation. OSAT-2 further reported that study models predicted that tox- icity of most of the oil in question would decrease to 20 percent of current levels within five years. Regarding human health, OSAT-2 calculated "poten- tial cancer and non-cancer health effects from short and long-term exposure" to the weathered oil at a level below acceptable U.S. Envi- ronmental Agency risk and hazard levels. Petrae said these calcu- lations were based on the assumption of exposure to the oil for 120 days with 40 percent of the body covered with the oil and it being left on the body for 24 hours. Regarding "aquatic and wildlife resources" OSAT- 2 concluded that further cleanup of oil would likely pose a "greater threat" to these resources than from the weathered oil if it were to remain on the beaches. However. the study noted the potential for "elevated risks" for turtle eggs and hatchlings and "subsurface- probing sea birds" associated with leaving the weathered oil in place on the beaches. Monitoring and further study were recommended to evaluate these risks and de- velop mitigation strategies.

BP. See SAFE 13-C DEP ENVIRONMENTAL Administrator l)arvl Bou- dreau pledged to continuing monitoring and clean up of oil on the beaches.

As the undisputed queen of the malapropism, she actually made up a word that makes a lot of sense recently. Here's the quote: "Are we at war? I haven't heard the president say that we are at war. And that's why I too am not knowing do we use the term interven- tion? Do we use war? Do we use squirmish? What is it?" Squirmish. How appro- priate. I think squirmish is exactly how most of us felt when we found out the United States was going to take an active role in the civil war in Libya. Bruce Collier wrote two excellent editorials on the subject and the prospect of Americans being involved in shooting wars on three fronts was mind-boggling. It made us squirm and it's a short step from squirm to squirmish, so thank you Sarah. However our role was limited and it is my under- standing U.S. forces are no longer dropping bombs on Libya and the whole inter- vention is being taken care of by NATO. I hope we are no longer needed, as getting involved in the civil wars of other countries hasn't worked out so well for us in the past. I seem to remember we helped the Afghan rebels repel the Russians and they have shown no gratitude for the assistance. It is difficult for most of us to see the sense in U.S. foreign policy. Why is Libya more important than the countries of the Middle East who are surging toward try- ing to establish freedom within the borders of their countries? Let's see, we have Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen, and Syria. Those currently in power will heavily outman all of these countries' reb- els. The uprising in Egypt was accomplished without a lot of deaths and the leader fled, so the future is up to the people. They didn't seem to need our help anyway. The same might not be true of the other countries. Do we have an obligation to help? I doh't know the answer and probably a case can be made that the issue must be de- cided on a case-by-case ba- sis, but it is a conundrum. The rebels in Libya prob- ably don't have a chance, even with the intervention. They quite seriously don't know what they are doing. One rebel was fighting with a toy gun, according to an NBC reporter and in the same broadcast the reporter said the rebels had launched a missile, but they shot it in the wrong direction. The rebels are about as able to conduct a war as I am. The only thing that could help these people is arms and people to show them how to use them, which would mean feet on the ground and I don't think the people of the United States are ready to allow more troops on the ground anywhere in the Middle East. Frankly I don't know -: LEAH STRATMANN why anyone wants to be president. It doesn't matter how many people there are around to give advice and run possible scenarios, at the end of the day, the presi- dent has to make the deci- sion, since apparently we no longer need the votes of Congress to declare war or interventions or whatever you call this. All you need to do is look at the once youthful Barack Obama and see the trials and tribulations of being top dog on his face and not only is he likely to want four more years, there are tons of people lining up wanting to unseat him. Having your own well-appointed plane, a better than average salary, a terrific mansion to live in, 24-hour chef service and the ability to commandeer the television networks just isn't worth it.

Officials to take up land use/event ordinance By OTT''Y NIST The proposed Certificate of Land Use Compliance Ordinance, which would es- tablish new requirements for businesses and also for short-term rentals in residential areas, has been scheduled for consideration by the Walton County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) on April 12. The ordinance includes provisions aimed at ad- dressing noise, litter, and parking disturbances asso- ciated with short-term rent- al homes within residential areas. The ordinance is a new attempt by the county to remedy disharmony in neighborhoods resulting from weddings, receptions, and other large gatherings taking place in residences rented out on a short-term basis. Over the past few years, previous proposals by the county to address these is- sues have included a coun- ty-wide noise ordinance and a nuisance ordinance. In October, while opt- ing not to proceed with an earlier proposed ordinance dealing with these issues, the BCC directed more work on the proposal---and opted to have staff incorporate with it provisions for a "Cer- tificate of Land Use Compli- ance" program for business- es. Walton County does not have a business license pro- gram, and the certificate program was viewed as a means to ensure that busi- nesses are in compliance with the regulations of the land use area in which they are located. It was also seen as a way to obtain informa- tion on businesses in exis- tence in the county and their locations in order to facili- tate response in the event of fires and other emergencies. The first draft of the com- bination ordinance was com- pleted in early February. The draft has undergone a number of changes in re- sponse to input from county commissioners and the pub- lic. The currently-proposed ordinance draft, dated March 25, would require all businesses to obtain a certif- icate of land use compliance from the Walton County Planning and Development Services Division, with the certificate to remain valid as long as the business con- tinues operation, as long as there is no change in the type or intensity of the business, and with the county to veri- fy the business' certification periodically. The ordinance deems it to be the respon- sibility of the planning and development services direc- tor to verify the availability of adequate parking in con- nection with the certificate program. Requirements associated with the certificate of land use compliance would be proof of ownership submit- ted with the application, in addition to parcel num- ber, street address, use of the building, number of re- quired parking spaces, and contact information for the responsible person. There would be no initial fee for a certificate, but there would be a $30 reissuance fee. T'he certificate would be required to be posted at the business, and the county would retain a copy of the certificate. Walton County Code Enforcement would be responsible for enforcement of' the certificate program. In contrast with an ear- lier draft of the ordinance, the current ordinance draft does not include a require- ment for short-term rent- als to obtain a certificate of land use compliance, nor does it mention weddings or other types of activities taking place in short-term rental homes in residential areas. However, the draft ordinance states that use of these accommodations "as a commercial venue" would represent a violation. The draft ordinance fur- ther states: "Gatherings in excess of 50 people are permissible at Short-Term Rental units provided a Res- idential Special Event Per- mit is obtained from Code Enforcement for a fee of one hundred ($100) dollars. The applicant for this per- mit must demonstrate their ability to comply with ap- plicable county ordinances such as, but not limited to, noise, litter, and parking." This would be a new type of event permit for Walton County. Unlike an earlier version of the draft ordinance, the current draft does not ad- dress maximum occupan- cies for buildings. The draft ordinance is scheduled for consideration in conjunction with the April 12 BCC meeting, which is to begin at 4 p.m. and take place at the South Walton Courthouse Annex. A deci- sion on the proposal may take place at that meeting.

PAGE 4-(C "The Top of the Class" art exhibit open to public By JEFFREY POWELL The Cultural Arts As- sociation (CAA) of Walton County, in conjunction with the Northwest Florida State College (NWFSC), opened a juried art exhibit entitled "The Top Of The Class" on April 1, in Santa Rosa Beach. The Friday evening recep- tion was well attended and is the second installment of a five-exhibit endeavor between the two organiza- tions. Forty-five CAA mem- bers submitted 90 works for the judging with 30 total pieces chosen for display. Submissions were judged by NWFSC Professor and Art Historian Ann Waters. South Walton High School art students, under the tu- telage of Jerry Pilcher, also selected a Students' Choice award. "The CAA really enjoys the synergy between our organization and the col- lege's south Walton County location," said CAA Mem- ber Sharon Hazleton. "To- day's exhibit showcases the outstanding quality of tal- ent we have in this area. It seems that every year the quality of art is getting bet- ter and better. Art should be accessible to everyone and this campus and the school's staff have been very sup- portive. These shows bring people onto the campus and that is good for both of our organizations." The Top Of The Class ex- hibit awards were sponsored by Trustmark, The Hidden Lantern Bookstore, Livings- ton Financial Planning and Studio B. The UPS store at Watercolor also provided support. Winners in the show in- cluded Best in Show for Walt Foegelle. Emily Ellis, Curtis Weatherall and Su- san Alferi all received the Award of Excellence and Betty Cork received the Stu- dents' Choice Award. Many of the artists were on hand for the opening as was Walt Foegelle. "I am really excited about this evening," said Foegelle. "In a world of rejection it is nice to get a little love. Any- time you can get some love you should take it." The public is invited to see the exhibit at 109 Greenway Trail in Santa Rosa Beach, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. until May 4.

This year. another evening of' performers has been added, and ticket sales are at their all-time highest. Be it the sound of a blaring trumpet, or the sexv vibe coming from a saxophone, the sounds from the smooth jazz festival call thousands of fans from around the world to Panama City Beach. This year, the festival takes place April 13-17. at Pier Park. Over the past 13 years the event has had its growing pains with weather, location, noise ordinances, and other obstacles, that might have shut any other festival down. But WSBZ. the hosting radio station, has leaped over those obstacles and now has one of the two largest smooth jazz festivals in the nation. From a humble beginning with just about 300 people attending : d:ly. ticket sales this year are reaching the 8,000 mark daily, and are passing all expected goals. Many of the events and ticket packages. like the Smooth Jazz Dinner Cruise, VIP tickets and corporate tables that were selling for $5,000 each, have been sold out for weeks, even months. The national fame of the festival has thousands from around the world converging on Panama City Beach to hear and get a glimpse of their favorite smooth jazz, Craummy Award-winning art ists. And now the radio giant, XM/ Sirius will be joining the festival for the first time this year, as they broadcast the five-day event, streaming live. Another added event for this year's festival, will be the unveiling of the U.S.P.S. official smooth jazz stamp, set to be released in late April. Once again. Hilltop Productions, festival designer and International Market host, will showcase 60 juried vendors from around the world in a variety of mixed media. From smooth jazz paintings and photography, to musician sculptures and handmade clothing, this year's International Artists Market will be the largest in the festival's history.

All samples tested below a level of concern for PAHs, he said, and in 99 percent of them no hydrocarbon was detected. Very sensitive equipment is used, Webb explained, which is able to detect the presence of elements of con- cern at the parts-per-million level. He said oysters are be- ing tested for heavy metals such as cadmium, lead and mercury, and that so far all of those samples have tested either below a level of con- cern or below a level of de- tection. Ile announced that a couple of weeks previous the Department of Agriculture was able to set up a lab to test for dispersant and is now conducting testing for that product. While this is the first dispersant testing by the department, federal testing for dispersant and also oil has been ongoing, Webb noted, finding seafood from waters open to fishing to be safe. He added that the De- partment of Agriculture has received $10 million from BP to continue seafood test- ing and also $10 million for seafood marketing. A representative of the Cope Center commented that BP has provided fund- ing for mental health servic- es to residents of Walton and Okaloosa counties, many of whom have suffered from anxiety and depression due to the oil spill. She encour- aged anyone in need of these services to contact the Cope Center at (850) 892-8045. A question and answer session for the public was facilitated byi a BP represen- tative. Among attendees ad- d'ressing the officials was Ron MNcNeil. n 2010 candi- held on April 14, t the NatureWalk at 2063 County Beach, Florida ay be continued itional notice to date for U.S. Congress and owner of an environmental business. McNeil asked if the officials had heard of' OSE2, an alternative prod- uct developed to clean up oil. He was critical of Corex- it, the dispersant used in connection with the oil spill, calling Corexit "much worse than the oil itself." McNeil charged that the dispersant kills natural enzymes that would help clean up the gulf. Petrae responded that he had not heard of OSE2 but suggested that information on the product be submit; ted to the Coast Guard for consideration. He stated that the Corexit used by BP was not the same product by that name that was used in Alaska after the Exxon Val- dez oil spill. Boudreau commented that the Corexit, which was used near the spill site, was used to break up the oil into smaller pieces in order to make it easier for naturally- occurring microbes in the water to consume the spill. Petrae stated that the dis- persant helped keep the oil from coming onshore to into more environmentally-sen-. sitive areas. Michael Sturdivant, chair of the local Surfrider Foundation, was critical of OSAT-2 being viewed as a health study. It was merely an operational study by a small ad hoc group, Stur- divant maintained. Stur- divant called for a health study relying on samples of blood, tissues and symptoms reported by residents. Sturdivant disputed the safety reports with regard to dispersant. saying that he did not believe a human health standard for disper- sant was in existence. He added that it would be pos- sible that a person exposed to a tarball for 15 minutes "might exceed the human health limit."

Alfred Gockel featured artist at Seabreeze Jazz Festival World renowned abstract painter Alfred Gockel will be the featured artist at this year's Resort Quest Sea- breeze ,Jazz Festival pre- sented by The Smooth Jazz Cruist. Gockel will be at the e(sel, painting live, for the duration of the festival and on The Smooth .Jazz D)inner Cruiise. Participants will get to see the creation of an orig- inal "Gockel" from start. to finish -- all within the back- drop of the "Ultimate Week- end of Smooth Jazz" in the USA. The experience will provide an up close peek at how a master artist creates a unique "music-inspired" work of art.. Original works by Gock- el created each day at. the jazz festival will be auc- tioned from the main stage, through an arrangement with iaterbys Art, Auction Gallery, based in Orlando. "He's been one of our most. consistent perfori'ners," said lich Harrt of Int.erbys. "He is an amazing tahlint and has been thbe official a rt- ist. for many other serious events, including tihe 200(; Winter Olympics in Tlur'in, Italy." A jazz-tinhmead abstract. painting by (Gockel is b'e- ing featured on the official poster for this year's festi- val, and the image is also on a T-shirt. The artwork on the jazz festival website has been inundated with over :;8,000 unique hits per day on average, a testament to the. popularity of the event and the artist. Gockel's selection as the featured art ist for this year's Seabreeze ,nzz Festival was a hand-in-glove fit., as he approaches his canvas the same way a musician ap- proaches his or her composi- tions. For centuries, philoso- phers, artists and musicians have pondered the relation- ship between the aural (mu- sical) and visual arts. Gockel simply lives it in his day-to- day life. "It's hard to capture the feeling that smooth jazz gives you in an image," said WSBZ-FM General Man- ager,. Mark Carter. "But. Alfred Gockel's work sitm- ply hits hone with all of us that embrace this music." The Sealbreeze Jnzz Festi- vial, clreTi.d anld promoted by local smooth jazz radio sti aion WSBZ-FM The Sea- b)reeze 10(i.3, each year goes in senilch of anii artist whose work will lend itself for a successful poster and t-shirt design. "Just one look at his post- er design for 2011, and I can hear the music and actually see the fans dancing in their seats. It's that convincing," said Carter. Festival organizers al- ready are getting rave re- views on the design from fans who got a glimpse of the work online. "We expect our festival posters and shirts to fly out of the door this year," said Carter. "And we owe the thanks to Mr. Gockel for his awesome image that truly captures the feel and funky fun that is smooth jazz music." Alfred Gockel will be painting live at a special ex- hibit tent at the Seabreeze Jazz Festival site at Aaron Beasant Park adjacent to Pier Park in Panama City Beach.

He suggested a look at the bay for impacts. Boudreau urged him to provide infor- mation to DEP to help docu- ment impacts for future re- mediation by BP. A Miramar Beach resi- dent complained of illness beginning five months pre- vious, reporting that a doc- tor had found problems with her blood work that she believed to be the result of toxins related to the oil spill. "You're telling me it's safe here," she said to the officials. Petrae responded that what he had been tell- ing attendees was what the test data had said. Walton County resident Anita Page urged for the development of communica- tion networks between the agencies and fishermen and fishing organizations, who have been reporting greatly diminished catches. Petrae responded that this infor- mation is most useful for the damage assessment pro- cess. "Those networks are being made now," Boudreau assured Page. Boudreau concluded the meeting by assuring the gathering that DEP and the other agencies would contin- ue monitoring the beaches until there was agreement that "the oil is gone." "BP is not going to leave here until we're satisfied," he added. He urged anyone seeing oil on the beaches to call the oil hot line, (800) 320-0519.

(Photo by Jeffrey Powell) By, JEFFREY POWELL Well over 200 parents, students and educators took the opportunity to tour the new Emerald Coast Middle School in Santa Rosa Beach on Thursday evening, March 31. The gathering was a rare opportunity to tour a school facility just before it is completed. According to Walton County School District Director of Facili- ties Mark Gardner, sever- al contract workers were in the building cleaning up 30 minutes prior to the tour. Gardner, who has been involved with the project since its inception, welcomed the attendees and could not contain his excitement for the state of the art facility. "This is the first school in the county that is truly a 21st century facility," said Gardner. "Schools are special places and I am very proud of this one." Gardner was joined in welcoming attendees by several district principals and educators each of which were introduced to the gathering. According to Gardner the facility is a prototype and is designed to withstand 130 mph winds. He also noted that the school's construction came in under budget at approximately $18.3 mil- lion. Attendees were sepa- rated into four groups for the tour, which focused on the sports complex, cafeteria, media cen- ter and guidance offices. The track surrounding the football field is one of only three in the Panhan- dle where certified track meets can be held. The surface is made of a rub- ber material that is more forgiving to athletes. An- other plus are the large screen smart boards which are liberally placed throughout the building. "We are very excited about this facility," said district Public Relations and Grant Writing Spe- cialist Meredith Spence. "We want to thank every- one for coming tonight." The tour concluded in the Media Center were everyone had a chance to fill out a response card and talk to administra- tors. MORE THAN 200 CITIZENS toured the new facility.
