Following each 10-year U.S. Census, the Florida Constitution requires the members of. each of the state's boards of county commissioners to divide their county into districts as nearly equal as practical. The requirement is based on the principle of "one person one vote." The 2010 census figures for Walton County were recently provided. They showed that the county had increased by 14,443 residents over the 10-year period, bringing the coun- ty's population number to 55,043. The population in four of the county's five districts districts is below the perfect split figure of 11,009 resi- dents, while, at 15,946 resi- dents, the District 5 popula- tion exceeds the ideal split number by almost 45 per- cent. The Walton County Re- districting Committee has the task of developing rec- ommendations for the re- drawing of boundaries, in order to arrive at districts that are as equal as possible, while keeping the number of districts at five. The com- mittee consists of five citi- zens appointed by the Wal- ton County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) along with five Walton County School District appointees, since school board districts mirror those of the BCC. With the census figures in hand, the redistricting committee got started on its task at an April 6 meeting at the Walton County Health Department Building in De- Funiak Springs. Ken Little served as coor- dinator for the committee on behalf of the BCC, and Tom See REDISTRICT 13-A County commissioners meet with legislative delegation Members of the Walton County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) went to Tallahassee March 23 to attend the Florida Associa- tion of Counties Legislative Day. This annual event up- dates commissioners, man- agers and administrators on the bills filed in legisla- tive session that affect coun- ties and local governments across the state. Mornings are for staff meetings, while afternoons are traditionally reserved for commissioners to meet with their legisla- tive delegation members to discuss pending legislation. Commissioners from Wal- ton County met with Reps. Mart Coley and Brad Drake, and Sen. Greg Evers. These meetings focused on the septic tank legislation filed by Coley to give rural coun- ties and property owners relief from the septic tank inspection law passed by last year's Legislature. Also discussed was the widening of U.S. 331 and the county's strategic objectives. Thb commissioners also briefly met with Rep. Chris Dorworth from Seminole County, who is a member of the House Transportation and Economic Development Appropriations Committee, which has influence over allocation of state highway funding needed for U.S. 331. The commissioners also paid a visit to Billy Buzzett, longtime resident of Sea- grove Beach and new Secre- tary of the Florida Depart- ment of Community Affairs, regulating development and growth management in Florida. The commissioners will continue to follow up with legislators and keep Wal- ton County's priorities and needs in the forefront. COMMISSIONERS recently met with Rep. Marti Coley in Tallahassee.

Another motorist was reportedly not hurt. Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) investigating Tpr. J.C. Lieb reported that a vehicle a semi cab was traveling west on U.S. 90, its driver and sole occupant Jerry James Goodwin, 45, of DeFuniak Springs. In front of Goodwin was a second vehicle, its driver and sole occupant William Charles Parker, 60, of Mossy Head. According to the FHP report, a third vehicle not identi- fied was traveling between Goodwin and Parker. Parker began a right turn into the parking lot of a gas station. The unidentified ve- hicle slowed to avoid hitting Parker. Goodwin swerved to the right, driving onto the north shoulder and colliding with Parker as he was turn- ing right. Goodwin's vehicle overturned and slid on its passenger side across U.S. 90, blocking the eastbound and part of the westbound lanes. The semi had been carrying a load of scrap steel and iron which spilled onto the roadway. Goodwin was taken to North Okaloosa Medical Center with minor injuries. He was charged with care- less driving. Parker was not injured, but was charged with driving on a suspend- -C:----- -1 A A A .'' ..- i , i-C .d,.. - ed/revoked driver's license.

Greene stated that she attempted to apply the brake, but accidentally pressed the gas pedal, caus- ing the vehicle to travel for- ward into the building. The vehicle ended up halfway through the front doors of the business. No injuries were reported on scene. Cit- izens in nearby shops told the Herald Breeze that a huge boom was heard before they rushed out to find the sound and shocking discover the vehicle in the business. The DFSPD estimated the damage to the building at $15,000 and approximately $5,000 to the vehicle. Five Walton County Sher- iffs Office (WCSO) deputies were honored March 4 by the Northwest Florida Chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) for remov- ing 75 impaired drivers from county streets, roads and highways in 2010.

Deputy Nathan Hicks took the top spot with 25 arrests and Deputy Mindy Shel- ton took second place with 20 arrests. Deputies Chad Biernacki, Taylor Park and Chris Whatmough each made 10 arrests and tied for third place. "I applaud our deputies for keeping our roadways safe," said Sheriff Michael A. Adkinson, Jr. "Our citizens and visitors are safer every time an impaired driver is taken off the streets." The WCSO made 184 ar- rests in 2010 for individuals unlawfully driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

By BRUCE COLLIER I remember as a child how I loved to read books about what life would be like in the future, which at the time meant faraway dates like 1980. I had a book called By Spaceship to the Moon that pos- ited the need for a space station between here and the moon, so the spaceship carrying the lu- nar astronauts would have a place to stop before completing the journey. It was illustrated with great color drawings and I wore it out thumbing through it. As it happened, we did get to the moon, but not by spaceship and we didn't need a filling station. What we did was basically fire a tiny manned bul- let into space that merged onto the moon's belt- way, landed, then catapulted itself back up into a gravitational slingshot that flung it back home. Not as sexy as the spaceship and station, but it worked and more than once. At no point in the process was the technologi- cal flash outweighed by the element of human adventure. There was also an streak of humility that seems to have been banished from modern science. At least that's what I remember, and I watched a lot of space shots on black-and-white TV. The April 8 issue of The Week (my news maga- zine of choice) contains a short article titled "Life in the year 2100." Its author, physicist Michio Kaku, lists 10 predictions about Things to Come. Kaku writes, "...if someone from 2100 could visit us now, how would we view them? Probably like the gods of mythology. They would command everything around them by wishing for it. They would have perfect and ageless bodies. And they would ride across the universe in magical chari- ots. In the past, we feared the gods of mythology. In the next 10 years, we will become them." What will get us to that state? Contact lenses that will connect us to the Internet. Ultra micro- chips placed everywhere that can be telepathi- cally activated. Floating cars that need no driver, just passive passengers. Replacement body parts that can be grown as needed. Extended lifespan via slowed-down aging and cancer killing molecu- lar nanoparticles that can be placed in the blood- stream. Robots, complete with emotions, that perform dangerous and tedious tasks, and "space elevators" for tourist travel. Last but not least, there will be even more enhanced technology for biological and nuclear warfare and terrorism. I'm actually relieved that Kaku included the last, because if he hadn't, I'd have dismissed him as completely disconnected from reality. Not that I doubt the possibility of his list of advances, though such lists of predictions have reportedly been found to have a less-than 50-percent accu- racy rate. I just needed to know that he was still talking about humans as they actually exist. The flaw in most such lists is that they gener- ally ignore human nature, assuming that all we need to reach a utopian society is more technolo- gy. As delightful as Internet contact lenses might sound to some people, I see them as yet anoth- er way to avoid actual human contact. Imagine classrooms full of teenagers, not mindlessly tex- ting, but mindlessly blinking. Funny, in an ugly sort of way. Kaku's prediction of genetically engineered ba- bies ("designer children") that would be "stron- ger, more intelligent and happier than people are now," sent a Frankensteinian chill up my back. Wasn't that one of the aims of the Third Reich? Kaku's aside that "laws will have to be passed to regulate this powerful technology" wasn't exactly reassuring. The Master Race is coming, quick, hand me a statute! Most such views of the future see all humanity as comfortable, well-fed, physically perfect, cul- turally enlightened, and hankering to explore the cosmos. That sounds great it would certainly be a nice change of pace but it will take more than a few cool inventions to pull that off. I'm not anti-progress, but I do know that the 20th century was the most technologically ad- vanced in recorded history, and it saw two world wars, some spectacularly effective attempts at genocide, and the beginning of yet another era of religious wars that has spilled into the 21st. And the solution to this does not lie in floating cars. As for becoming like the "gods of mythology," well, read some Greek mythology. The gods were just like us jealous, lustful, vengeful, petty, covetous, and cruel only they had super pow- ers, they couldn't be killed, and they weren't the least bit interested in changing their ways. We had reason to fear them. And now we're going to become them? THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY APRIL 14, 2011 ^a4W ^ ^ ^ < .- :'r ,A M W hill . 1 ETR OTE-EIO Editor: This is in response to a letter written by Wes Davis In these depressed economic times why would someone write a letter and try to devastate a small business without telling the whole truth. Or, is that what one of the "group members" meant when he yelled at me across the table that and I quote "You just screwed yourself!" That Pizza Place (let's just go ahead and say the name because it's the only pizza place in Mossy Head) has never turned away customers or disinvitedd" anyone who frequents this restaurant. So with that being said and before we tell the whole story let's discuss your letter. In your opinion every second and fourth Monday of the month, your group expected us to basically close our whole restaurant down to regular custom- ers (meaning any other person in America) that wanted to dine in. For 2 /2 hours (5:30 8 clos- ing) I was expected to turn every body else away because as one of your members stated "first come first serve." Economically this is ridiculous! You are exactly correct in stating that "if your tables are full, your cash flow is positive." The other part of that truth is that if it stays full for 2 %/ hours with the same group of people there is no positive cash flow. A restaurant cannot survive if they only make $200 during the din- ner hours which is typically their busiest time. A $200 night will not even cover the grocery bill for the day. Then you have to take into account that your server only makes $4.23 per hour plus tips. Because they are limited on the amount of tables they have, they do not even have an opportuni- ty to make any more money because your group took the whole restaurant for the dinner rush and your tip is the only one they are getting. So then the financial hardship goes back on the business because by law we have to ensure that servers make at least $7.25 per hour for every hour they are here. Then let's add in the cooks, cashier and dishwashers. The labor for that three-hour shift is over $100 and that doesn't even take in to ac- count the time they work after we close cleaning. Does this make good business sense? In a bigger restaurant the way this works is: You have a group of people that are going to meet twice a month. You talk to the restaurant and make a reservation for those times. They either have the space or a banquet or meeting room, you rent it or either you guarantee them X num- ber of dollars for the night. Then, they bring in a server just to wait on your group. You don't meet your guarantee so "your group" pays the differ- ence. That's how real meetings are handled. Now for the whole story: When your group began coming here it was very small. I was told 8-12 people twice a month. That was not a problem. There would be times that only 6 8 people would show up and that was okay. Then there was other times that 20-25 would show. How is a small business (or any business) supposed to be prepared if you never know how many of one group is coming? Your group is not the only people that like to eat here. On numer- ous times I would say "if you would let me know how many are going to be here I could be ready" and the answer I would get is "we never know how many are coming." I could have brought in 6-foot tables and additional chairs. It would have been worth the expense if it was 20 people ev- ery time. Then there were times when your group would come into my restaurant and completely rearrange it. No one ever asked anyone if this was acceptable? Some people went as far as mov- ing my decorations out the way so they could pull together every table they could with no regard for any one else that might drive to Mossy Head to eat. Not one of you ever took into consideration that I have.no foot traffic at my restaurant, we are not in the city in a shopping center, so if you drove all the way out here, you came to eat at my business. And yes, there have been times that customers possibly would have to wait for a ta- ble but they could not be expected to wait for two hours. Now let's discuss the issue of $400 per month. Very rarely did your group spend $200 per meet- ing. If you would like we can pull the tickets and I can give you exact numbers. Also, except for maybe four or five times over the course of a year or so do I remember anyone from your group eat- ing here any other time except for during your group meeting. No one slapped you in the face. Nobody asked you to leave that night or to not come back. You chose to l 'ebecause yo6iu were asked to not take any more tables and chairs. That night your group went as far as moving the chairs from a round table leaving a table for other customers to eat but no where to sit. You make it sound like I favor the "Mossy Head locals." Well I guess to an extent I do. They wel- comed me into their community and have support- ed me more than I could have ever imagined. As have the people from DeFuniak, Freeport, Paxton, Florala, Samson, Crestview, Graceville, Bluewa- ter, Niceville, Eglin, south Walton and even a few from Tallahassee and the list goes on. While I appreciate every person that walks through my doors, I do have a special appreciation for the cus- tomers who eat here three or four times a week. I am smart enough to know that without loyal and repeat customers I don't have a business. I really try to accommodate everyone but you can only push so far. So, it was not as you stated "one or two locals" from Mossy Head that left but custom- ers that actually drove here to eat and left, that bothers me more than you acting like a child! According to you maybe one of the pizza restau- rants in Crestview will like your business and I am glad that LaRumba welcomed you with open arms. They probably seat 100 people and unfor- tunately I do not. Maybe when you get mad at your next meeting place because you don't get your way you will at least have the decency to pay for the food that is being cooked, and not stick them with $100 worth of food they have to throw away. As far as the insult that you think you received that night, I was insulted and embarrassed. It embarrassed me to know that I had to walk away from grown people acting like little kids. I did have people sitting at the two booths that you couldn't. take and I apologized to them for your behavior. At the same time they were apologizing to me because no one should be treated the way you treated me or my employees. One has to stop and think that if you feel cus- tomer service is in short supply at the businesses that you patronize maybe it's from your own ac- tions.

This restrictiveness drives up the cost to heat & cool your home and shortens the life of your central system components, like blower motors and compressors. Our recommendation? Don't spend over $6 on a disposable pleated filter. Also remember, that the cheapest blue filters on the market does little to protect your equipment. Disposable filter spending budget should fall in the $2-$6 each range. Disregard claims that a disposable filter will last 3 months and be sure to check them every 30 days.

Carwash and food sale raises funds for DBPA July 4 fireworks On Saturday, April 9, the Employee Leadership Council and CH2M HILL OMI sponsored a carwash and food sale to benefit the Downtown Business and Professional Association (DBPA) Fireworks Fund. This is the second year for the event. This year was much drier than last year, but the competition for cus- tomers was fierce. Organiz- er Jayne Swift with CH2M HILL OMI, said, "There were so many events hap- pening this weekend, all for great charitable causes. We appreciate all those that came out and supported the efforts of the city employees and CH2M HILL employ- ees. It is our way of giving back to the community." The event raised $362 for the DBPA Fourth of July fireworks. Employees are also sponsoring a raffle for a $250 VISA gift card dur- ing the month of April. See any city employee or stop by Public Works to purchase a ticket. Each ticket is $1. All of these proceeds will also go towards the DBPA Fourth of July fireworks fund. Clay Blizzard, a logger from Walton County. was recently awarded the des- ignation of Florida Master Logger. Master Loggers are logging professionals trained in environmentally sound, safe and efficient log- ging practices. A total of 41 loggers from around the state received the Master Logger designation follow- ing completion of the three- day education program held at Bear Creek Educational Forest, Quincy, Fla., March 15-17. The Master Logger course includes training in safe- ty, business management, rules and regulations, tim- ber security, environmental concerns, ethics and public relations. These Master Loggers now return to their busi- nesses with enhanced cre- dentials to offer logging and forestry services in this growing segment of the lo- cal and state economy. For- estry contributes $32.7 mil- lion to the Walton County economy. Approximately 428 employees work directly in the county's forest indus- try, which generates a $9.7 million payroll. Forest prod- ucts and paper companies within the state collectively generate $16.6 billion in manufactured products and create over 133,000 jobs in local communities. According to Bob Moore, Logger Education Program Consultant, "the program has as its goals the enhance- ment of professionalism among loggers, the improve- ment of the state's quality of life, the provision of a con- tinuing flow of forest goods and services and the protec- tion of environmental quali- ties of Florida's forests." 470 loggers in Florida hold the title of Master Logger. Forests cover over 16 mil- lion acres in Florida--nearly 48% of the state's total land area. The Master Logger program is sponsored by the Florida Forestry Association and the Florida Sustainable Forestry Initiative State Implementation Commit- tee.

Also, an original Memphis News- paper from August 1977, donated by a local resident, that announced the death of Elvis was raffled off to a lucky winner.

The events raise funds which go directly to the American Cancer Society in hopes of finding a cure and ending the suffering of patients and their affected family members. On April 8 and 9, the Freeport community gath- ered at the Freeport Re- gional Sports Complex to do their part for the American Cancer Society. The annu- al event was very well at- tended and started a 6 p.m. sharp. "I hope this event will make more people aware of the effects of cancer on the community," said Freeport Relay For Life Chair Erin Arnett. "We all have a dif- ferent story, I personally have lost two family mem- bers to cancer. Hopefully people will come away from this event with a better un- derstanding of the impacts of cancer." The event started out with the national anthem being performed by Laura Carcaci and an invocation by Paul Deary. Several awards were then given to Relay supporters and par- ticipants. The first lap of the night was taken by cancer survivors and their care- givers. Pat Dowd was this year's honorary chair. "This is a serious event but we are also out here to have fun," said Co-Chair Nancy Brown. "We are also recruiting people for next year.

Mackenzie sentenced State Attorney Bill Ed- dins announced -April 7 that John Wallace Mack- enzie entered a plea of no contest to sexual battery with a deadly weapon and escape. Mackenzie was ar- rested in November 2010 for sexual battery on a 14 year- old child and was being held in jail when he attempted to escape in December 2010. First Judicial Circuit Judge Kelvin Wells sen- tenced Mackenzie to 25 years in the Department of Corrections on both charges to be followed by probation for life for the sexual bat- tery. Mackenzie was clas- sified a Habitual Felon Offender (HFO) and was designated as a sexual pred- ator. He will have to wear an electronic monitor for life upon release from prison. The investigation and ar- rest were conducted by the Walton County Sheriffs Office. Assistant State At- torney Jennifer Lieb prose- cuted the case and for more information, contact her at (850) 833-9237. Maricevich sentenced for burglary and theft State Attorney Bill Ed- dins announced that John Maricevich was sentenced on April 7, by First Judicial Circuit Judge Kelvin Wells, to 20 years in state prison. Wells sentenced Maricevich as a Habitual Felony Of- fender (HFO) based on his prior record which included 16 prior felonies. Maricevich was found guilty on Feb. 10, 2011, by a Walton County Jury for the crimes of bur- glary of an occupied dwell- ing and grand theft. On June 22, 2010, two children, ages 8 and 9, awoke to find John Ma- ricevich in the living room of their Mossy Head residence. The children testified that they knew Maricevich as a friend of their godfather. One child testified that he witnessed Maricevich rum- mage through the pants pockets of the victim, which contained a wallet with $857, keys, and prescription pills. The victim was able to give the Walton County Sher- iffs Office the defendant's name and the description of his vehicle. Maricevich was stopped less than five minutes later where he was found in possession of all the items that were stolen during the burglary. Ma- ricevich claimed the victim left the keys and his wallet in his truck during a previ- ous encounter. THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, APRIL 14,2011 WCSO arrests online scam artist On April 11, the Wal- ton County Sheriffs Office (WCSO) arrested Kristina Marie Walters, 26, of Hous- ton, Texas, for Internet fraud. The WCSO investiga- tion began December 2009 when investigators received information from a Walton County victim who wired $10,000 to the online seller of two vintage motorcycles that were never delivered. The seller, "Stephen Mitch- ell," persuaded the victim to wire the funds to a bank ac- count in Louisiana adminis- tered by Walters. She with- drew $9,500 the same day. The investigation re- vealed that Walters con- spired with Clifford Booty, 49, of Denham, La., who fic- titiously created pseudonym "Stephen Mitchell" as the seller of the merchandise, to mislead the unknowing vic- tim to wire funds to a legiti- mate bank account. Walters was charged with one count of criminal conspiracy, a first-degree misdemeanor; one count of grand theft, a third-degree felony; and one count of advertising fraud, a first- degree misdemeanor. She was booked into the Walton County Jail. Booty is being investigat- ed for similar crimes in oth- er states and Canada. The WCSO is presently seeking a warrant for his arrest. The WCSO encourages citizens to become familiar with the following safety tips for avoiding non-delivery of merchandise and to prevent scammers from fraudulently obtaining personal or finan- cial information: Obtain a physical address rather than simply a post office box and a telephone number, and call the seller to see if the telephone num- ber is correct and working. Send an e-mail to the seller to make sure the e- mail address is active, and be wary of those that utilize free e-mail services where a ,credit card wasn't required to open the account. Consider not purchasing from sellers who won't pro- vide you with this type of information. Be cautious when dealing with individuals/companies from outside your area. If possible, purchase items online using your credit card, because you can often dispute the charges if something goes wrong.

On April 11, officers from the DeFuniak Springs Po- lice Department (DFSPD) responded to an overturned utility truck on South 2nd Street. Upon the officers' arrival, the overturned utility truck (bucket truck) was found on its right side in the ditch line off the east shoulder of 2nd Street just south of Hillcrest Way. The operator of the ve- hicle was also found lying in the ditch line outside of the vehicle, conscious and alert. Investigation revealed that the operator was in- side of the bucket extended in an upward position per- forming maintenance on a service line. For undeter- mined reason at the time of this release the truck began to travel down 2nd Street passing the intersection of Hillcrest Way, with the op- erator still inside the bucket trying to lower the extended arm in attempt to regain control of the vehicle. The. vehicle continued its travel crossing to the east shoul- der then overturning to final rest in the ditch line. The incident is still under investigation and the name of the operator has not been released at this time. The operator was listed on scene conscious and alert and was transported by Walton County Emergency Medi- cal Staff (EMS) for precau- tionary reasons and further medical evaluation. The owner of the bucket truck was identified as Bright House Networks.

Published Weekly On Thursdays 850-892-3232 THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 2011 COUNCIL CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1-A phitheater for the National Day of Prayer May 5. The Council unanimous- ly approved a resolution to support the ban of candy- flavored tobacco products in DeFuniak Springs, which students participating in S.W.A.T (students working against tobacco) and mem- bers of the Walton Coun- ty Prevention Coalition brought before the Council. Walton Middle School stu- dent Destiny Mason told the Council of being offered can- dy flavored tobacco on her bus route, and high school student Vanessa Glover shared her experience of be- coming addicted to tobacco through chocolate flavored cigarettes. Glover said she knew she would not still be struggling with tobacco ad- diction had she not enjoyed the sweet taste of chocolate flavored tobacco. "Please help protect our hometown," she asked. A public hearing is set for April 25 at the regu- larly scheduled City Coun- cil meeting to discuss code amendments for business signs, sponsorship signs at Harbeson Field and the De- Funiak Springs Recreation- al Complex (Gene Hurley Park), and permanent real estate signs for multiple tenant buildings. Timothy Crenshaw dis- cussed forming a citizen's advisory board to increase "discourse between citizens and the Council." Crenshaw said, "We need to have citizens more in- volved." He then referenced the June 28, 2010 meeting during which he claimed City Manager Kim Kirby censored subject matter he requested be placed on the agenda regarding a human rights violation and griev- ance against the DeFuniak Springs Police Department. "Within the past 21 months, we've filed a com- plaint with the Department of Community Affairs... since [that time] it has been one act of retribution and retaliation against my fami- ly ever since," he said. Cren- shaw informed the Council he "transmitted a letter" to Gov. Rick Scott requesting a special investigation into a "factual case of retaliation and intimidation by a city entity as a whole." Mayor Harold Carpenter reminded Crenshaw of nu- merous city advisory boards and stated, "That podium you're standing at is always open...and we welcome your investigation." City Marshal Mark Weeks said in reference to Crenshaw's allegations, "I do not know to what he's referring...I like the Mayor would welcome any investi- gation he has." After months of debate and addendum regarding the abandonment of N. 18th Street, the Council voted in favor of abandoning the gravel road, the only driv- able access to Helen Cren- shaw's property, which will be assumed by Vista Prop- erties of Fort Walton Beach, owned by James Busby. The conditions for aban- donment are a 24-foot wide paved access drive from U.S. 90 W. to the existing gate at the north property line to be constructed within 24 months or the N. 18th Street right of way will revert back to the city; a recorded ease- ment more or less following the existing gravel drive for access in perpetuity for the property owner to the north maintained by Vista Prop- erties; a portion of Wabash Avenue paved to a 24-foot wide street section con- structed by the developer to city standards to include a 20-foot wide drainage ease- ment running east to west on the Northern portion of Busby's property to inter- sect with Wabash Avenue. Before the final recom- mendation was approved, Busby asked the Council to leave the drive-width open ended until an engineer- ing firm could determine whether the drive's direc- tion would need to be ad- justed for drainage instal- lation. Councilmen voiced their desire to have the width documented before abandonment in order to be fair to the property owner. Attorney Clayton Adkinson declared, "The condition is going to be a 24-foot paved access from Hwy. 90 to the Crenshaw gate." Councilman Don Harri- son commented it was ac- ceptable for the arch of the driveway to shift slightly for drainage installation as long as "easy access" to the Crenshaw property was maintained. John Johnson of Land En- gineering Services requested another amendment to the recommendation to include that Vista Properties would maintain the 24-foot paved access to the Crenshaw property as long as it was a single-family residence. Mayor Pro-Tempore James Huffman asked, "Why does it matter to Vista if it's a single family residence or not?" "Is it fair for Vista to TIMOTHY CRENSHAW (center) informed the DeFuniak Springs City Council he has requested a special investigation by Gov. Rick Scott for alleged "retaliation and retribution" against his family. maintain [the road] if it be- comes a business," Johnson asked. Busby clarified the amendment was requested with the possibility of the property becoming an apart- ment complex or high-traffic area, making the road more difficult to maintain. The Council denied the caveat of a maintaining the road only if it remained a single-fami- ly residence. Helen Crenshaw's son Timothy spoke on her be- half, and stated the prop- erty would remain a sin- gle-family residence in an agricultural district as "long as there is a Crenshaw on Earth." Crenshaw addressed the Council with strong opposi- tion to abandoning N. 18th Street, claiming Busby's intent in purchasing prop- erty on the east and west side of N. 18th Street was to have the city abandon it, which Crenshaw said was "not right." Huffman asked Crenshaw what conditions he would like the Council to consider for abandonment. "Not to abandon it," Cren- shaw said. Councilman Wayne Gra- ham asked. Planning Direc- tor Greg Scoville, "What does the city gain by aban- doning N. 18th Street?" "The city gains nothing. Mr. Busby gains a more de- velopable piece of property," he answered. City Manager Kim Kirby corrected, the city would save the maintenance costs for N. 18th Street; Adkinson added the city was gaining a 20-foot drainage easement and landscaped buffer to solve water runoff from U.S. 90 and El Mercado Mexican Restaurant onto the Cren- shaw property, as well as a portion of Wabash Avenue paved at Vista's expense. Harrison said, "It's al- most an economic develop- ment [incentive] to a poten- tial business, and [provides] better access for the resi- dent." Crenshaw countered the water runoff was from El Mercado and argued the city should not abandon a city street to a developer to solve runoff issues from private property. Huffman asked, "We're solving your drainage prob- lem, [providing paved ac- cess], and [Busby's] paying for it, what more can we do?" Crenshaw declared the city should not abandon N. 18th Street. The motion to abandon N. 18th Street passed 3-2, Graham and Henry Ennis yielding nay votes. Cren- shaw uttered, "You're going to regret that," then exited City Hall. The Council unanimously approved the purchase of a camera security system for Pat Covell Park with grant funds and water meters in the amount of $15,390. Elected official Jonathan King's term as City Clerk expired April 12, however the Council requested King serve as temporary clerk until new Council members are elected. "I would be hon- ored," King answered. Kirby announced no col- lective bargaining agree- ment had been reached with the Police Benevolent As- sociation for the DeFuniak Springs Police, but a cost of living raise retroactive to Oct. 1, 2010 would be given to officers in this month's paycheck.

WALTON COUNTY Redistricting Committee members gather for their first meeting devoted to their task. (Photo by Dotty Nist) REDISTRICT CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1-A Blackshear was redistrict- ing committee coordinator for the school district. Walton County GIS Coor- dinator Kevin Laird provid- ed the committee members with copies of maps show- ing the current district plan and several possible plans for new district boundar- ies. Laird also displayed on a large screen maps of the county containing data, in- cluding census blocks. The options provided by Laird were discussed, along with others suggested by com- mittee members. Committee member Rob- ert Nelson noted that in order for the plan recom- mended to be successfully defended, it is necessary to draw the boundaries along census block lines. The block lines reference landmarks such as roads, water bodies, and communities. Committee member Ron- nie Bell asked Laird to pro- vide at the next meeting a voter precinct overlay. He explained that this would be a good opportunity to look at reducing the number of voter precincts to save tax- payer money. Committee member Bon- nie McQuiston said she would like to see both of the offices of the two commis- sioners representing south Walton County residents be located south of the bay. She was advised to address the District 1 commissioner, whose office is now located in Freeport. The members discussed the impacts of district bound- ary changes on currently- serving commissioners and school board members. One scenario presented by Laird would have no impact on the incumbents, i.e., the resi- dences of all of them would remain in their districts, and the plan would not put two commissioners or school board members in the same district. This would also be the case with another of the options thought to be rea- sonable, except that this option would result in one school board member's resi- dence being just across the street from their district boundary. It was discussed that minor adjustment to the plan might be able to correct the latter situation and keep the school board member's home within their district. Court decisions have up- held elected officials being able to serve out their terms in situations where redis- tricting has resulted in their residences no longer being included in the districts they represent. However, in some instances redistrict- ings have resulted in com- missioners or school board members not being eligible to run for reelection due to residence issues. Bell pointed out that, while the committee will be arriving at a redistrict- ing recommendation, it is the county commission and school board which will be making the decision whether or not to approve the plan. In discussing ways to shift the excess population in District 5 into other dis- tricts, one idea brought up was extending District 4 south, straight across the bay into part of what is now District 5. Some of the plans also showed District 1 ex- tending west of U.S. 331 be- tween U.S. 98 and the gulf. Laird was asked to pro- vide additional information for the committee's next meeting, and the members will continue to look at dif- ferent options at that meet- ing. "We may come up with a dozen of them before it's all over," Bell speculated. Community members are invited to attend and provide input on their own ideas for redistricting. The meeting is scheduled for 2 p.m. on May 4. The tentative location is the South Walton Tourist Development Coun- cil meeting room in Santa Rosa Beach. w B~B~e~ii_ -)--LOL~f:;.I -pf u -~-s; ''' THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE. THURSDAY.

Wilson Biophilia Center LISA Hawk. MILLER introduces Medusa the Red Tailed Story and photos by BEN GRAFTON According to its website, the mission of the E.O. Wil- son Biophilia Center, lo- cated on SR-20 just east of Freeport, "..,is to educate visitors on the importance of biodiversity, to promote sustainable balanced eco- systems, and to encourage conservation." One of the main ways it does this is by teaching fourth, seventh and 10th-grade students from the school districts of North- west Florida about the im- portance of biodiversity and the need for conservation. Saturday, April 9, the center widened its educa- tion effort by offering an open house to give the gen- eral public an opportunity to experience what the center provides. The pub- lic, responded to the offer and came as individuals, as groups of friends and as family groups in such num- bers that parking spilled over onto the shoulders of SR-20. Activities included the opportunity for its visitors to tour the center and its grounds, see videos about conservation subjects, hear about the plight of honey bees from the Cutts Foun- dation for Bee Research, go on trail hikes, visit a small "touch tank" provided by the Choctawhatchee Bay Alliance, see exhibits of na- tive arts and crafts provided by members of the Musco- gee Nation of Florida; and attend a presentation by the Wildlife Rehabilitators Partnership of Northwest Florida where they could see and learn about raptors. OPEN HOUSE was held last Saturday at E.O. Wilson Biophilia Center off of'SR-20 near Freeport.

OLD TIMERS HAVE THEIR DAY IN PAXTON Story and photos by ALICIA LEONARD On Saturday, April 9, res- idents and visitors to Pax- ton may have thought they had stepped back in time. The Old Timer's Day proved to be a hit with young and old alike. Craftsmen demon- strated blacksmithing, mak- ing wooden buckets, pine needle baskets, quilting, sewing, Indian bow-making and much, much more to the crowds that meandered through the Paxton Agri- culture Center. Some even came by horseback to enjoy the way things used to be and wagon rides ferried visi- tors around the area. Pam Thompson demon- strated how to weave rugs with a flying shuttle loom. Thompson first became in- terested in the weaving pro- cess after a trip to an Amish community in Kentucky. Shelia Moors sat beside her with a spindle loom weaving items out of sheep's wool.

Across the way, Tom Nor- ton and Niki Pierce worked with flames and metal to display old fashioned black- smithing to the crowds that milled past. Girl Scout Troop 9210 participated in some log roll- ing techniques used in days past. The young ladies put their all into getting their logs lined up and work- ing together to move them, as had young people in the times before tractors. The Muscogee Nation of Florida brought their wares and their history as repre- sentatives of the Florida tribe of eastern Creek Indi- ans from Bruce, Fla., met with the public. Nell Davis and Estell Norman showed off their quilting skill and chatted with attendees. Granny Al- yne Adams sat next to them and showed off her sewing skills with some beautiful old fashioned bonnets for sale. Lots of visiting and discussing needle skills took place between the three and visitors to their displays. Next door, old hands took part in cow whip popping that would have made Indi- ana Jones proud. Michael Barlow and Dar- rel Bushie showed off their skills making baskets and woodworking. Bushie said he had only been at it for the last five months but was drawn to the art out of the need to "keeping the skill alive, so it's not lost for gen- erations of the future." All in all, the crowds seemed to enjoy the dem- onstrations and some even showed interest in learning a few of the skills for them- selves. The Tri-Cities Kiwanis put the event together and were commended for bring the community back in time with the event. R~48 ~:n. :9 r r p.

By Mary Ann Whiddon A Tribute to Becky Young Submitted By Hilda Coursey Becky Young was a quiet, behind the scenes worker who touched many lives in Walton County with very little publicity. She came to Walton County in 1973 as a 4-H agent, and for the next few years was an inspiring leader for young people in the county as she taught them to sew, to cook, to per- form before a group, and to work as a team. After a few years, she transitioned to County Home Demonstra- tion Agent, and led one of the most active groups of Home Demonstration Clubs in the state. Hundreds of lives were touched by her classes in cooking, sew- ing, healthy eating habits, weight management, and economics. Many women still design their clothes and use a serger because of Becky's teaching. In addition to her active involvement in church and various community activi- ties, Becky served five sepa- rate terms as president of the DeFuniak Springs Pilot Club. She was an outstand- ing leader who challenged the group to make a differ- ence in the community. Dur- ing this time, Becky and I often attended the Pilot International Convention, where many of the presen- tations and workshops fo- cused on brain-related dis- orders and the great need for community interven- tion. As our interest grew, we began to dream of doing something in our communi- ty that would truly make a difference. Thus the dream was born, and we continued to pursue it with diligence for the next few years. As president of Pilot Club, Becky was instrumental in getting a $5,000 grant from Pilot International Foun- dation in 2004 for start-up funds for the Brain Disorder Support Foundation. From there, funds were raised lo- cally through donations and fundraisers. Very early in the devel- opment of the Friendship House, Becky was diag- nosed with Alzheimer's Dis- ease. She continued to press on and to work in every way possible to complete the proj- ect. Others of us began to work more diligently to com- plete the building and open the center for clients before it was too late for Becky. To assist in that effort, Becky and Norman, her husband, made a very generous do- nation to the building fund which allowed construction to begin immediately. The Friendship House was com- pleted and fully licensed in August 2009, just in time for Becky to spend a few months there before it be- came necessary to move to a setting with round-the-clock care. Shortly after she was di- agnosed with Alzheimer's Disease, Becky took two courageous steps: She stood before the DeFuniak Springs Pilot Club and an- nounced that she had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease, and later in a quiet conversation that we had she said, "Hilda, I want us to use my experience to make a difference in the lives of others who have this hor- rible disease." She was very open to sharing her experi- ences with others and try- ing to help us understand what it was like.Through the Friendship House, we will continue to carry out Becky's dream. There are hundreds of people in Walton County who feel a debt of gratitude to Becky Young for the way she touched their lives.

Al- though the patient cannot communicate as in the past, the person is still inside and needs your love. You can visit with them, take the pa- tient for an outing, carry in a meal or a dessert, or offer to run errands. But most of all, just follow Becky's ex- ample and show your love!

A Problem Addressed By Rev. Dr. G. Charles Satterwhite, Pastor The words of the prophet Haggai exposed a problem: "Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways," (Haggai 1.6-7) The people worked hard and spared no effort to in- sure prosperity. However, their yield was more than disappoint- ing. They had clothing, but no amount of clothing kept them warm. Nothing seemed to satisfy them food, drink, or clothing. They acquired money, and it fell through their hands like holes in their bags. Why? God was forgotten and when God is forgotten, all is futile, with- out profit, and in vain. Does this sound familiar? It could have been written today rather than hundreds of years before the advent of Christ. We are never satisfied. We're more concerned about tangible riches, than about spiritual riches. We've forgotten Matthew 6.33, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." We see the "all these things shall be added unto you" but we neglect the first part "Seek ye first the kingdom of God." The prophet Jeremiah said in Lamentations 3:40, "Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD." Jeremiah's cry resonates throughout the earth, calling us to search our hearts AND our ways. Our hearts cannot be pure unless our ways are paral- lel with the passion of our heart. Proverbs 4.26-27 says, "Pon- der the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be estab- lished. Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil." When the prophet said, "Consider your ways," he Rev. Dr. G. Charles Sat- terwhite, Pastor was speaking to us. Do our "ways" cause us to toil without profit, to gain wealth and have nothing to show for it, to have closets of clothes and yet remain cold? If so, we must heed the word of the Lord through His prophet, "Consider your ways!" We can't blame it on anyone or anything other than ourselves -.we're re- sponsible to consider our ways and to remove our- selves from evil. If we aren't careful to fol- low the words of the Lord found in Matthew 6:33, when we find we have holes in our bag and dissatisfaction with everything we work for, we too will hear the voice of the prophet saying, "Consider your ways." Mosley Mrs. Rosa "Rosalee" Har- rison Mosley, 95, passed away Sunday, April 10, 2011. She was born Aug. 10, 1915 in Holmes County, Fla. to Tollie and Peggy Gil- lis Harrison. Mrs. Mosley had lived most of her life in Holmes and Walton Counties. She was Baptist by faith and a member of Mossy Head First Baptist Church. She was a devoted wife, mother, grand- mother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmoth- er. She was a compassionate caregiver, she loved fishing, gardening and taking care of her animals, especially her dog "Tiny."

The South Walton base- ball team recorded a 6-3 decision as Johnny Harri- son cleared the bases with a double in the bottom of the first inning to rally the squad from an early'2-0 def- icit to take the lead. The Se- ahawks scored five runs in the first inning as Harrison later scored on a teammate's single to give the home team all the runs they would need for pitchers Jordan Henke and Alex Astin. Astin relieved Henke ear- ly in the game and was able to keep Bozeman off the scoreboard for most of the rest of the game. Astin al- lowed six hits while striking out six batters in picking up the win while getting out of jams against a good-hitting Bucks squad. SOUTH WALTON PITCHER MEAGAN ELLISON struck out Bozeman freshman Amber Wade to preserve a 5-4 district victory over the Bucks last week. (Photo by Patrick Casey) Matt Hall took the loss for Bozeman despite 11 strike- outs against the Seahawks. Sneads handed the Sea- hawks a loss on Friday night as the Pirates came to Wal- ton County and delivered a 6-1 loss to the Seahawks. The South Walton base- ball team is 13-7 overall and 8-4 in district play with a non-district contest at home against Walton this week as well as their final district game on the road at Graceville on Friday night. The softball game saw Bozeman take a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning only to see South Walton rally as Megan MacLeod doubled in two teammates after the Seahawks had loaded the bases with three infield singles. Mackenzie Watson was able to steal home to give the Seahawks a 3-2 lead and Sam Snider scored on an RBI single by Allison Stroop to increase the margin to 4-2. Caitlin Holliday singled in a teammate in the bottom of the second inning as the Seahawks offense pushed the lead to 5-2. Bozeman's Nicole Miglio- ri doubled in two runs with two outs in the top of the fifth inning to cut the lead to 5-4. Migliori drove in all fours runs on the night for the Bucks and showed con- siderable power to all fields in the contest.

Paxton edged Baker 4-3 as Dustin Geoghagan scored on the fourth error of the night that the Gators com- mitted in the field in the bottom of the sixth inning to put the Bobcats ahead af- ter Baker had tied the game with two runs in the top of the fifth inning. Zach Forehand had two hits and drove in two runs in the third inning with a single as the Bobcats built a 3-1 lead off of Baker pitcher Brian Benoit. The junior pitched a complete game in taking the loss and was hurt by several walks as well as fielding errors. Josh McLaney went the distance in picking up the win as he started a 1-6-3 double play in the top of the seventh inning to help foil the Gators' chances at a comeback win. The Bobcats followed the Baker win with a key dis- trict victory at Laurel Hill by an 11-6 count on Friday night. Marcus Bradley had two doubles and a solo home run while scoring three runs with Ryan Gilbert adding a bases-clearing double in the second inning as the visiting Bobcats built a 6-0 lead that they would not relinquish in sweeping Laurel Hill in the season series. Team Notes: Paxton has won at least 22 straight baseball games against Lau- rel Hill, dating back to the 2002 season. The Bobcats are 5-8 versus Baker in the last 13 meetings. PAXTON'S DUSTIN GEOGHAGAN(3) scored moments after this photo was taken on a throwing error by the Baker defense. The run broke a 3-3 tie in the bottom of the sixth in- ning and allowed the Bobcats to earn a 4-3 victory. Paxton is 12-2 on the year after an 11-6 win over Laurel Hill and a 13-1 loss to Niceville on April 11. (Photo by Patrick Casey) By REID TUCKER Paxton came up short in the last softball game at home this season, falling 6-3 to a motivated Laurel Hill Club thht out-hit the Lady Cats 13 to seven. The Lady Hoboes (5-8, 4-5 in District 1-A) beat Pax- ton (3-12, 3-7) in a nail-biter in the first meeting between the two teams earlier this season but the Lady Cats had trouble throughout the evening of Thursday, April 7. Some defensive errors and several missed chances to capitalize on offense may have set the pace for Pax- ton's loss, but it was Laurel Hill's presence at the plate that ultimately won the day. The Lady Cats have strug- gled so far this season, los- ing many of their games by only one run or two, a fact acknowledged by Laurel Hill head coach Scott Var- num, who was nevertheless proud of his team's rebound after falling into a hitting slump. "It wasn't a walk in the park," Varnum said. "Pax- ton played well. They've played some tough teams in close games but our girls stepped up. We got hits to- night. Instead of getting them here and there, we got some together." Laurel Hill opened fire with three singles early in the first inning and Kasey Harrison's double made four hits in five batters. Harrison and Nichole Bailey brought in three runners before the Lady Hoboes were retired via Paxton's Kappi Stew- art's sole strikeout of the game. B ~ ~gs' .. '. ...... :... . ". -: ..., A PAXTON BASERUNNER BARELY avoided a pick-off attempt during the Bobcats contest with Baker last week. The game was moved from Monday to a Thursday contest due to the threat of bad weather. (Photo by Patrick Casey) The Lady Hoboes defense kept Paxton's batters at bay while their own batters con- tinued to pour on the:hits. Laurel Hill added two more runs in the top of the third, as Brittany Biggett and Bailey both singled to get on early. Sam Purvines brought Baggett around Paxton and Sam Purvines scored on a throwing error to make the score 5-0 in the Hoboes' fa- vor. Paxton's best chance to retaliate came an inning later, as, with bases loaded, Bethany Neale singled to bring Leah Infinger home. Harrison walked in Jes- sie Oglesby with bases still loaded before the Hobo in- field picked off a runner leaving first to turn a double play, ending the inning. The score would remain stationary at 5-2 until the top of six when another Pax- ton error enabled Baggett to drive in Lauren Gordon from second with a hit to shallow left field. Paxton came back with a run from Brianna Owens on an RBI double from Stewart in the bottom of the seventh, but Harrison and the Lady Hobo defense nipped any brewing come- back by retiring the next two batters in order. Harrison tallied five strike- outs, walked three and gave up seven hits, while Stew- art was touched on 13 occa- sions. Baggett went 3-for-4 plus an RBI and scored a run of her own for Laurel Hill but it was Bailey who led the Lady Hoboes, going 2-for-4 with two RBIs. As for the Lady Cats, Owens got a double and a single in four at-bats, but all five of her team mates who got a hit were at best 1-for-3 at the plate. Paxton coach Laurie Gil- bert put on a brave face after the game, which was not only Paxton's last home game of the season but also fell on the Lady Cats' senior night. While the team has faced its fair share of adver- sity this season, Gilbert re- mained optimistic regarding its chances at the district tournament considering that Paxton crushed Bethle- hem (a team that dealt Pax- ton a 10-run loss earlier this year) with a score of 14-3 just the night before the game against Laurel Hill. What's more, the tourna- ment will be held at Paxton, which Gilbert said "never hurts." "Come the district tour- nament, it could to any of the six teams," Gilbert said. "It's a very unpredictable district but the Lady Cats will be battling because the tournament will be at our place." BRIANNA OWENS was the leading, offensive weapon for the Lady Cats, going 2-for-4 with a double and single.

While each team of athletes is hoping to bring home the championship tro- phy and county bragging rights, every participant and volunteer connected with the Fight Like A Girl (or FLAG )Tournament is hop- ing the predominant crowd - pleasing color for the day is teal, the designated color for ovarian cancer aware- ness. Each year in the United States, more than 21,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer and about 15,000 women die of the disease. Sadly, the mortal- ity rates for ovarian cancer have not improved in over 30 years since the "War on Cancer" was declared. Ovar- ian cancer is still the dead- liest of all gynecologic can- cers. The Freeport High School Student Government Asso- ciation chose to bring public attention to ovarian cancer because Donna Crim Floyd, a Freeport Elementary teacher and the mother of a fellow FHS student, was di- agnosed with ovarian cancer last year. All proceeds will be donated to Donna Floyd to assist with her medical bills. To promote other aspects of good health, the Powder Puff Football Tournament will be a tobacco free sport- ing event and will offer free blood pressure screenings from the Walton Career De- velopment Center nursing program. The Freeport and Paxton teams will meet on the grid- line at 10 a.m. at the Free- port High School Stadium. Female athletes from Wal- ton and South Walton will battle it out during the next segment. The third competi- tion of the day will be a los- ers bracket. The event will culminate with a champion- ship game, complete with a trophy presentation and county bragging rights for the next year. All county residents are invited to wear teal and come spend the day cheer- ing on their favorite team. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for students. Johnny C. of MIX 103.1 will provide sports com- mentary over the PA sys- tem. Various audience par- ticipation contests will be featured during halftime breaks. A fully stocked con- cession stand will be avail- able throughout the four tournament games.

"My first two years here I would say, 'hey, nice game, guys' because if we played close with somebody it was good," Dixon said. "It isn't quite good enough now. I think that we are getting to the point that we are good enough to start winning some of these games. It's one thing getting shut out and having no realistic chance of winning, but we are giv- ing ourselves a chance to win with a few base runners and a few good swings at the plate." A few good swings were in short supply for both teams early on, as Angus Anderson and his Mari- anna counterpart, Michael Mader, kept base runners to a minimum and moved the game 'along at breakneck pace. The game remained scoreless until the fifth in- ning when Anderson's sole walk and two fielding errors enabled the Bulldogs to load the bases. Brennon Orcutt relieved Anderson on the mound but gave up a hit to Clayte Hooks, who scored the lone run of the game when Walton missed an op- portunity to turn a double play. Though Orcutt struck out the next two batters and stopped what looked to be a surge from Marianna, the Braves weren't given a real chance to even up the score until the bottom of the sixth, but they left two runners on. Walton again got a chance to turn the tide in the sev- enth inning by moving Liam Miller into scoring position on sacrifice plays. Howev- er, all the work proved for naught as Brandon Holling- sworth hit a ground ball for easy out at second base to end the game 1-0 in favor of the Bulldogs. The numbers show just how close the game was: Anderson and Orcutt com- bined for 12 strikeouts com- pared to Mader's 10 but the Marianna pitcher gave up five hits, two fewer than the Walton duo.

He tallied four strike- outs and gave up two hits in the last two innings of play.

Mary Kate Myrick held Paxton hitless and struck out six to pick up the shutout victory. Myrick also went 1-for-2 from the- plate, with two RBIs and two runs scored. The Lady Bulldogs (12-3-1 overall, 7-0-1 against Walton Coun- ty schools) took a 2-0 lead after one inning with Ken- nedi Bates hitting a RBI single after Myrick walked to lead off the inning. Bates later scored on an RBI sin- gle by Skyler Reddick. The score held until the fourth inning, when FMS added three runs. Theressa John- son reached on a bunt sin- gle. After a Shelby Corbitt walk, Myrick knocked in both runners with a triple to left field. The Walton Middle School baseball team de- feated Freeport 4-3 in the Warriors' final game of the season. WMS pitcher Ty- ler Wood pitched all seven innings of the contest, al- lowing only two hits while striking out six and walking three. Houston Nelson had a pair of hits while driving in a run while Jace Fielder drove in two with a single. Freeport's Ryder Newman allowed three hits with three walks in the contest as he pitched all seven innings for the Bulldogs. A passed ball and an error were crucial in helping Walton build a 4-0 lead as the Warriors got out of a bases loaded jam to hold on for the win. The Northwest Florida State baseball team is off to a 14-4 start in Panhandle Conference play. The squad holds a 34-9 mark overall and has three key games with Chipola beginning Wednesday. Former Walton athlete James Towery is on the squad and has appeared in nine games as a pitcher, posting a 7.43 ERA in just over 13 innings of work, though he has not appeared in a game since March 5. Ohio State will host Van- derbilt in a college football contest on August 31, 2013. Spring football games on ESPN this week include Georgia (12 p.m. on ESPN3. com), Alabama (2 p.m. on ESPNU), Auburn (2 p.m. on ESPN3.com), Arkansas (3 p.m. on ESPN) and Florida State (3 p.m. on ESPN3. com).

(Photo by Reid Tucker) By REID TUCKER Paxton's Shaq Jackson signed on the line to be- come the second Bobcat in as many years to join the vaunted ranks of North- west Florida State College's (NWFSC) basketball pro- gram. Jackson, flanked by his parents, signed with NWF State for a full-ride, two- year scholarship on Friday, April 8 in the gym where he led the Bobcats to a sterling 25-3 2010 season. Jackson's team-player attitude and 27 points averaged per game make the 6-foot-2 player a natural fit for the Raiders, said NWFSC interim assis- tant coach Ray Ross, who represented the college at the signing ceremony. While the Raiders signed Jack- son's cousin and fellow Pax- ton grad Demetrius Moore last year, Ross said the de- cision to bring him into the fold had more to do with his individual abilities and less to do what school he came from. "Shaq's credentials stand on their own," Ross said. "We used to have to have four local kids out of 12 (spots on the team). We've got- ten away from that though, and it works to the kids' ad- vantage because they know they're here because they're good players and not part of a quota. I think [Jackson] is athletic enough and skilled enough to come in contrib- ute." Though NWFSC is in the process of hiring a new head coach after the resignation of former coach Bruce Stew- art, Paxton coach Jeff Brad- ley is confident that Jack- son's skill set is such that he can adapt to whatever coaching philosophy the new head coach brings with him. Bradley said it was satisfy- ing to see his resident ace player move on to the next level of competition but that happiness is tinged with some sadness too. Simply put, Jackson has been the focal point of every Bobcats basketball team he's played on from middle school to se- nior year. "He's been the corner- stone of our program since he was in sixth grade," Bradley said. "He led by what kind of person he is. It's very exciting and also very sad. It's kind of a dou- ble-edged sword. We win on one end, seeing him move on to the next level, but on the other hand we're losing him from our program." Though he was ap- proached by several big- ger basketball programs, Auburn and Wake Forest among them, Jackson said he'd always planned on playing for the Raiders, es- pecially with his cousin on the team. Jackson's road to the all-expenses-paid schol- arship (which he intends to use to begin a business de- gree) was one of dedication to his craft. Proof of this was his nomination as a Mc- Donald's All American and participation in the Florida Athletic Coaches Associa- tion's annual all-star tour- nament, where he was rec- ognized as MVP among the 24 best players in the state. Jackson said getting the scholarship to NWFSC was the realization of a dream he's had since he first began playing basketball. "It means a lot to me be- cause all the hard work I put in this season and over my whole career finally paid off," Jackson said. Bradley said that Jack- son's shoes will likely never be fully filled, as players like him only come along so often. However, he hopes the legacy Jackson leaves will inspire future Bobcats basketball teams to contin- ue the tradition of Paxton's winning ways. "You hate to lose [good players] like that because they're hard to come by," Bradley said. "I may never coach another kid as talent- ed as him or have another run like we've had in my coaching career. It's going to be interesting to see how the kids who are behind him now will step up and carry the torch." SHAQ JACKSON signed a full-ride, two-year basketball scholarship with Northwest Florida State College. He was joined at the signing ceremony by Raiders interim assistant coach Ray Ross, Paxton head coach Jeff Bradley and his parents, Edward and Grace Jack- son.

(Photo by Reid Tucker) Walton Academy's new basketball court represents a year of positive changes By REID TUCKER Sometimes a bas- ketball court is more than a basketball court. The recently constructed Henderson Court at Wal- ton Academy, for example, is a lot more to the school's faculty, staff and students than just a place to play a game of hoops. A ribbon-cutting ceremo- ny publicly unveiling the new basketball court was held at Walton Academy in DeFuniak Springs on Fri- day, April 8. The dedication was attended by represen- tatives of the Walton Area Chamber of Commerce, the DeFuniak Springs' Public Works Department as well as educators from around Walton County. Walton Academy Lead Principal Jo Henderson, who donated the majority of the funds used to finance con- struction of the new court, said she contributed the money because she wanted to make a "substantial in- vestment" in the lives of her students. A retired Okaloosa County educator who also supervises the Department of Juvenile Justice's Learn- ing Academy, she said the newly-laid asphalt and bas- kets represent not only the ,l '*, involvement of the commu- nity in the charter school's success but also, on a philo- sophical level, the rules that govern civil society. "That basketball court represents the involvement of the community," Hender- son said prior to the dedica- tion ceremony. "With all the cuts in education we're go- ing to have to have commu- nity support. I know Walton County will live up to that commitment. Also, the white lines on the court represent the rules we have to live by in society. If you break the rules you'll get thrown out of the game. That's the most important thing the kids can learn from this." The construction of Hen- derson Court was made possible not only through a sizable donation from Hen- derson, but also through cooperation with the city of DeFuniak Springs' Pub- lic Works Department. The deal enabled the full-size court (valued at $30,000) to be built for just $2,400 (the cost of the concrete). Wal- ton Academy found another partner in the Kiwanis Club of DeFuniak Springs, which helped to raise awareness for ongoing projects at the charter school. Though it is certainly the most visible addition the school grounds, the new court is by no means the most important change un- dergone at the academy in the past year. In addition to the new basketball court, a climbing wall and more than $15,000 worth of exercise equipment have been added to form an outdoor gym and the overall improvements to the facilities, the chang- es inside the school ,are the most dramatic. Director Steve Ruder, who first came to the Acad- emy a year ago, said it was his goal to make substantial improvements, both exter- nal and internal, to the facil- ity and he is very pleased at how the image of the school has changed. Attendance is up and enrollment has in- creased almost 20 percent, swelling the student popula- tion to 140, the highest ever in school history, while dis- ciplinary referrals as of last month are down 73 percent (from 1,304 to 340) com- pared to last year. Student achievement in all subject areas is up and positive in- teraction between teachers, students and their parents have increased as well. "We have been able to change the stigma of the Walton Academy within our local community," Ruder said. "Our faculty and staff and administrative team have worked hard and it has paid off with tremendous dividends. This year has been an extreme makeover for Walton Academy. It's just a miracle. As I reflect on what I wanted to do here, I'm very proud of the accom- plishments we've made at the school this year." .1 JIL~AJ-< HEATHER ANDERSON'S nine-foot mark in the girls' pole vault was nearly a full 3 feet higher than that set by second place finisher Ali Hogansen, also of South Walton.

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.

ECMS were as clear as glass at By ASHLEYAMASON For nearly four hours it was standing room only as the Walton County School Board listened to dozens of parents voice their concerns and opposition to moving fifth-grade students at Van R. Butler Elementary School (VRB) and Bay Elementary School (BES) to the new Em- erald Coast Middle School (ECMS) due, to overcrowd- ing. Fifth-grade students at Freeport Elementary School (FES) will move to Free- port Middle School (FMS) as well, but no opposition was expressed against the move. In fact, parent and FES teacher Jennifer Nick said she and her child were "excited" for the change and she felt confident her child would be "loved, respected and protected" at FMS. The board determined moving fifth-graders was the most cost-effective and immediate solution to severe overcrowding and continued enrollment growth for these schools at its March 15 workshop. A parent-meet- See INPUT 12-C Community gets update on beach nourishment By DOTTY NIST Walton County's five- mile-long large-scale beach restoration project on the west end is reported to be performing well, but fund- ing continues to present a challenge to the county's efforts to restore additional beachfront designated by the state as critically erod- ed. Community members got an update on these matters at an April 6 Beach Nour- ishment Workshop at the Sandestin Beach Hilton. The workshop was hosted by the South Walton Tour- ist Development Council (TDC). Representatives of Taylor Engineering, contractor for the Western Walton County Beach Restoration Project, reported the regain of losses from erosion experienced in the project area due to im- pacts of several hurricanes following the completion of the project in 2007. Eighty- nine percent of the sand volume of the project, which advanced the shoreline by over 100 feet, is in place at this time, they told work- shop attendees. The protec- tive offshore sand bar was also said to be approaching its 2005 elevation. The project was deemed to have met its goals, among those being protection, aes- thetics, public use, and the return of wildlife such as shorebirds and sea turtles. Brad Pickel, coastal man- agement consultant for the TDC,' commented that beach nourishment projects are constructed to protect upland structures. Whether those structures should be there is a decision made by others, he continued. Beach nourishment projects also provide storm protection for infrastructure lying near the coast such as roads. Pickel discussed the TDC's efforts in pursuit of a second large-scale beach restoration project along over 12 miles of CR-30A beachfront, much of which has been designated by the state as critically eroded. He explained that critical erosion is determined by the presence of vulnerable struc- tures and/or infrastructure that would be likely to expe- rience substantial damage in the next coastal storm or hurricane. The TDC has pro- posed including some small- er non-critically-designated areas in the project in order to restore longer stretches of beachfront in the interest of the project holding up bet- ter, Pickel said. State park property, along with the WaterSound area, was not deemed criti- cally eroded, even though * I,1 I I' I I< 1 I I IV"h. '.' ,I % -K * ~**n", -1 0/ j utl .F *' .x I C.. .

(Map provided by South Walton Tourist Development Council) similar shoreline erosion conditions exist along por- tions of those properties as in the state-designated crit- ically-eroded areas, Pickel said. He explained that along the beachfront in the two areas, structures and/or infrastructure are either not present or are at enough of a distance from the shore to not be consider vulnerable. Pickel noted that through a $600,000 investigation, the TDC was able to iden- tify deposits offshore from old Seagrove and the East- ern Lake area as a source for restoration sand, but See UPDATE 2-C ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT 5-C CLASSIFIED 6-C OUTDOORS 2-C ARRESTS 10-A www.defuniakherald.com 0 94922 73172 2 A COUPLE of sunbathers at the TDC Visitors' Center pond.

It was noted that the district's website now has a tab that directs people to letters from the community, most of which are letters of praise for services from the district. In financial business, Chief Rick Talbert reported the adaptive staffing mea- sures, which have been in effect since the beginning of the fiscal year, have so far saved $70,000. Adaptive staffing leaves one unit of service idle, thereby saving overtime costs and with- out putting the public at risk. Talbert also reported that labor negotiations are scheduled. Fiscal officer Bryan Flanagan reported that In- tercontinental Real Estate has been selected to invest the 10 percent of the pension fund that will be directed to commercial real estate. This translates into $1.5 million of the $6.6 million that will be invested. Any returns will be saved so that never will more than 10 percent be invested. Chairman Maurice Gil- bert reported one member of the pension board has requested he be replaced. The commissioners are ac- tively looking for someone with expertise in annuities, actuarial issues, defined benefit plans, an overall ac- counting background, and a willingness to participate in the process of working with SWFD. Any persons inter- ested should forward a short resume to the fire chief for presentation to the board. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

(Photo by Dotty Nist) UPDATE that the top choice deposits for the project were located offshore from the Sandestin area. While Florida statutory language calls for $30 mil- lion per year being available statewide for beach restora- tion and renourishment proj - ects, diminishing revenues have resulted in the state, beginning in 2009, to focus on projects determined to be in the national interest and therefore eligible for federal funding, Pickel commented. The state has seen this as an approach to leverage fed- eral funds and ensure that federal dollars are not "left on the table," he continued. The TDC has been work- ing since 2002 to demon- strate that restoration of the CR-30A beaches is in the national interest and to pursue federal funding for the CR-30A project, Pickel said. "We know we have to get a federal project," he com- mented. He noted that the approx- imately $2 million per year in local beach nourishment funding, collected through the TDC bed tax, is being immediately depleted to pay off the debt on the Western CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1-C Walton County Beach Res- toration Project. As part of a feasibil- ity study by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (ACOE) Mobile District for a federal beach restoration project in Walton County, alterna- tives were evaluated, Pickel explained, including that of purchasing the critically- eroded beachfront areas and removing the structures. The estimated cost to do this came to $3.4 billion, and the alternative was therefore deemed not financially fea- sible, Pickel explained. He noted that the land acquisi- tion option actually proves to be less expensive than beach nourishment in some instances, including those of shorter-length project pro- posals. Constructing seawalls across the areas in question was also evaluated as part of the ACOE investigations and found not to be feasible financially, he added. The study recommended an initial restoration, along with four subsequent re- nourishments in decreas- ing volumes, Pickel "said:t Total cost of these projects was determined to be from $90 to $95 million, he said. The price tag for the initial beach nourishment along CR-30A is estimated at $50 - 55 million, he revealed. A report on the feasibil- ity study will be released for public review in the sum- mer, Pickel noted. Steps remaining in order for engineering and design to begin for the project include approval by ACOE head- quarters, approval by the Civil Works Review Board, and authorization by the U.S. Congress in the next Water Resources Develop- ment Act, Pickel explained. He said the county will also need to keep securing fed- eral funds, as it has over a number of years, through the Energy and Water Ap- propriations bill. Whether that yearly funding will con- tinue and whether funds se- cured through that bill will be at a level to make the project a reality remains to be seen. "Funding is going to be a challenge," Pickel said.

SHOOTING THE BREEZE with Leah Stratmann Fair warning: This col- umn has no real theme; instead I'll be sharing the random thoughts running through my head of late. If you want to be on this train (of thought) hop on board. How about that gutter- snipe Donald Trump? He's a terrific example of how putting a diamond on a pig doesn't change the pig. He may have been born in privilege and have tons of money, but he comes off as a thug and has more ar- rogance than can easily be stomached by the queasy. And now he thinks he would be a good president? The job would be a demotion for him and certainly the only reason he thinks he wants the gig is ego. Perhaps his young wife has a hankering to live in the big white house, which Trump can tart up with his sophisticated "taste.". One thing about this pos- sible candidacy is his taking on the birth certificate issue once again. Just when we thought this thing was prov- en, dead and buried, he has resurrected it. Surely (don't call him Shirley) he can't be serious. He questions a guy's birth status, yet expects us to believe that mess on top of his head is hair. Outra- geous. My friend Kathy in Texas works for a large company and as part of the interview process, candidates must take a set of assessments to see if they are even re- motely qualified for the job. She thinks this would be a good barometer for all can- didates who aspire to the highest office in the land. She said, "My choices would be history, American gov- ernment, world history, cur- rent events, economics, and a smattering of pop culture just for giggles. Instead of debates, we could have Pres- idential Candidate Jeop- ardy! I kid you not. What fun that would be to watch!" I believe the idea has some merit. After much wrangling and angling, gnashing of teeth, and public posturing, the government has decided not to shut down. In the end, it was less about big issues like cutting defense and keeping .our satellite em- pires intact and came down to how Planned Parenthood spends its money. Anyone who believes in family value issues should thank the heavens an or- ganization like Planned Parenthood exists. A mere 3 percent of the funding is used for pregnancy termi- nation, while the vast ma- jority of the funds "goes to pregnancy prevention, such as providing low cost vasec- tomies, providing free birth control, providing general gynecological services and helping people plan for fam- ilies. This is a mitzvah. Glenn Beck was let go by Fox News for low ratings, not because he's a lunatic. In full disclosure, I never once saw his show, but have been treated to snippets of his act over the years, mostly from The Daily Show. Everything I ever saw indicated Beck wasn't playing with a full deck, yet he has dedicated time on a major network- further proof the world is out of balance. Comedians are crying over his depar- ture, as he is a gold mine of material for them. Finally I have a solution to put more money in the county's coffers. I travel fre- quently on State Roads 81 and 20 where the speed limit is between 55 and 60. Typi- cally I set my cruise control at about 58 MPH, which is LEAH STRATMANN a comfortable speed. Tech- nically I am speeding in some spots, but invariably I am passed and passed and passed on these two-lane roads. Hurrying does noth- ing to get anyone anywhere any faster and almost all the vehicles that pass me are giant gas-guzzling behe- moths with too much engine under the hood and a moron behind the wheel. The sheriffs depart- ment should enlist the aid of citizens to catch speed- ing offenders., According to records, the department averages $50,000 a year from fines. This could be quadrupled if an officer rode with citizens and saw what happens when people obey the law. Once the offenders pass by and zoom on down the road, the officer could whip out the blue bubble and they could be ticketed. The county would not have to pay for the gas, citizens could get some satisfaction from seeing these racers have to pay for their follies and everybody wins. Are you listening Mike?

(7 mason's By ASHLEYAMASON S.a- dr~ ~ ^^- __ Last Tuesday at the Wal- ton County School Board meeting, I listened as dozens of parents voiced their op- position to moving Bay and Butler fifth-grade students to the new Emerald Coast Middle School campus for the 2011-12 school year due to overcrowding. I applaud these parents for being in- volved in the decision-mak- ing process, as well as the school board and Superin- tendent Anderson for care- fully weighing the feedback and amending their decision to reflect parents' concerns. The majority of parents diplomatically requested more research and a com- prehensive breakdown of why the move was immi- nent, whereas others ques- tion the truthfulness of hearsay and allegedly inac- curate news reports in The Walton Sun. The bottom line was parents were terri- fied for their children, who were in turn afraid. As a mother who takes nothing more seriously than my child's education and well-being, I put myself in these parents' shoes, exam- ining my attitude should my fourth grader have to move to a middle school campus for fifth grade. Although I understand the initial concerns coupled with parent's protective in- stinct, the idea excited me. I attended a K-12 school for half of my education, par- ticularly during primary and middle school years. Consider I started school a year early and skipped a grade, putting me at typical fourth- or fifth-grade age in my sixth-grade year. As it was a small school, the entire sixth through 12th grades shared lunches and recreation times. Even our athletic teams were 6-12, and guess what, the star player was a sixth- grader. We had no bullying problems, no issues of any kind that weren't typical pre-adolescent horseplay. In fact, there was a kinship never replicated in any oth- er school I attended.. We did not have the lux- ury the students moving to ECMS will have-separate classrooms, lunch times, recreation times, walkways and instructors. Knowing the extraordinary lengths ECMS personnel will go to ensure these fifth grad- ers adjust comfortably and safely I, like parent and teacher Jennifer Nick said, would have complete confi- dence that my child would be "loved, respected, and protected." Additionally in my 6-12 school, grade level interac- tion or integration was ir- relevant to excellence in our academic and social envi- ronments. We excelled be- cause we had parents who were involved, much like those at Bay and Butler. More than what any cam- pus, classroom, or group of peers can produce in a child is what parents instill in him/her at home, and that begins with attitude. Which is why not only would I rave about-the ad- venture my son would set upon, being the first fifth- grade class at a brand new middle school campus (that's like being an explorer, going where no fifth-grader has gone before, christening the campus, learning the ropes PAGE 3-C a year early, one-upping the previous fifth-grade class, baby you're a rock-star!), I would explain accepting the changes which are some- times thrown our way, be- cause that's life. If I shelter him from change or fight his battles by teaching him the world should adapt to his (or my) wishes instead of teaching him to adapt, he won't learn how to respond when a play- mate acts in a way he dis- likes, or I'm late to pick him up, or a relationship ends, or an employer revamps his project. As parents our job isn't to keep them our babies forev- er-that doesn't serve them well, nor does it serve us well, although it may be our temporary preference. Our obligation is to give them the tools to successfully adjust and adapt, to handle stress and the unknown, and have confidence in meeting life's challenges. The skills we instill in our children now are the mas- ter plan to .which they will refer to handle each situa- tion throughout their lives. When presented with a situ- ation, our reaction teaches our children to view it as an obstacle or an opportu- nity. Fortunately, children are resilient and optimistic and often greet change with enthusiasm. Sometimes though, even the best and bravest need encouragement, which is why I would turn to the help of Franklin Hill, author of Wings of Change, a book dedicated to embracing the spirit of positive change. In Wings of Change, Anew, a happy caterpillar, loves be- ing a caterpillar so much he says, "I never want things to change, not one tiny bit!" You can imagine the wings of change awaiting Anew, and I bet he could help lots of little bears and barracu- das understand the joys of being a stingray. KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS from Ms. Quinn and Mrs. Daniels' kindergarten class help plant the flower gardens at Bay Elementary. Judah McCoy and Atticus Webb are eager to exercise their green thumbs. ECMS to meet April 21 Jin Shin Jyutsu will be the topic of a presentation at the Emerald Coast Medi- tation Society on Thursday, April 21. Adele Leas will de- scribe and demonstrate this "ancient art of harmonizing the life energy in the body," in her words. The ECMS meets at 6:30 p.m. at 480 N. CR-393, Santa Rosa Beach, one-half mile north of U.S. 98. The meeting, open to the public without charge, begins with 30 minutes of silent medita- tion JSJ, as Leas calls it, "brings balance to the body's energies, promoting optimal health and well-being, and facilitates our own profound healing capacity." She calls it "a valuable complement to conventional healing meth- ods, inducing relaxation and reducing the effects of stress." JSJ uses 26 "safety ener- gy locks" along energy path- ways in our bodies. When a path becomes blocked, Leas says, "the resulting stagna- tion can disrupt the local area and eventually dishar- monize the complete path of energy flow. Holding these energy locks in combination can bring balance to mind, body, and spirit." It is a gen- tle art, she says, that "facili- tates the reduction of every- day tension and stress." Leas will teach some of the basic JSJ principles, "to bring harmony into your body/mind/spirit," to those who attend April 21. She asks people to bring a blan- ket or sleeping bag to stretch out on. Leas has taught JSJ class- es in the U.S. and many other countries and is the author of Jin Shin Jyutsu for Your Animal Compan- ion, now in its fifth printing. She discovered this practice in 1989 when she experi- enced extreme disease and weakness, and learned how to heal herself with JSJ. She now divides her time between New Orleans and Destin, Fla. The ECMS is an ecumeni- cal group open to anyone. It meets on the first and third Thursday. The evening will end around 8 p.m. with a short guided meditation. Anyone who would like meditation instruction should come at 6:15 p.m. Questions? Con- tact Nancy James, nancy- james@embarqmail.com. WESLIN WALLER is excited to be helping out and can't wait to get started planting flower gardens at Bay Elementary. PAGE 4-C Walton Democrats participate in opening day activities at the state capitol THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, APRIL 14,2011 Six Walton County resi- dents attended the Demo- cratic Women's Club of Florida's Legislative Day in Tallahassee on April 6. They joined more than 100 other club members from around the state to hear the state's Democratic leaders and to make contact with their state representatives. "The Capitol was filled with people from all walks of life," said Mary Wolfe, President of the Walton County Club. "Lobbyists in suits, the unemployed, the uninsured, the unions, the underserved-all exercising their rights of free speech and freedom to protest." A heart rending gather- ing of mentally challenged young people filled the plaza with signs asking the Legis- lature and the governor to restore the cuts he made to the Agency for Persons with Disabilities. They had hoped to talk to the governor, who historically serves paella to everyone on the plaza on the opening day of the session, but the governor did not ap- pear. Other state politicians stood in for him. "This session is a particu- larly tough one," said Wolfe. "Budget cuts are never easy."

Submit photos of art or web site links to gulfplaceeventscoord@gmail.com BILL the State Affairs Committee with all favorable votes save one nay vote by Rep. Rick Kriseman (D-St. Peters- burg). The bill will now move to the House floor for its second reading, possibly during the House's April 14 and 15 ses- sions. Bryan Cherry, Coley's legislative aide, commented on April 11 that the date for the second reading had not been determined at that time. The bill would affect coastal armoring construct- ed in Walton County be- tween July 10, 2005, and April 30, 2005. Referred to as a "local bill" because it applies to a par- ticular area, HB1311 origi- nated not with a county gov- ernmental entity but with a group of private beachfront homeowners who had con- structed seawalls and other armoring after Hurricane Dennis impacted the county coastline with significant erosion. In the emergency period following the hurricane, in order to help beachfront property owners shore up their property, Walton County had issued more than 170 sixty-day permits for temporary armoring en- compassing more than 200 properties. The permits were issued with the under- standing that, for the ar- moring structures to remain CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1-C permanently, the property owners would be required to obtain a state Department of Environmental Protec- tion (DEP) permit. Much of the armoring constructed as a result of the emergency permits remains in place, but it is mainly un- permitted by the state, even though the majority of the property owners with ar- moring submitted applica- tions for state permits. DEP did issue approximately 18 permits and denied permit- ting for more than 50. Among other factors, is- sues with federally-pro- tected endangered species raised by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and wildlife protection or- ganizations resulted in the delay of permitting for the armoring. To resolve en- dangered species issues in connection with county gov- ernment's action with the issuance of the temporary permits, in 2007 Walton County entered an Intergov- ernmental Agreement with USFWS, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and DEP. As a result of the agreement, the county applied for a US- FWS Incidental Take Per- mit (ITP) and undertook the development of a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) for the beach area. After Walton County's legislative delegation voted to introduce the armor- ing bill as a local bill in the Legislature, Walton County sent a letter of concern to the legislators regarding the bill. Based on concerns about the "character and integrity of our beach and dune sys- tem," the letter expressed opposition to allowing all the armoring to remain in place and exempt from all state permit conditions. The let- ter also expressed hope that a mutually-acceptable com- promise could be reached to help the property owners in need of state armoring per- mits. The BCC requested that permit applications for the structures be reviewed by the state "to insure that the structures were proper- ly constructed and will not have negative consequences to adjacent properties and the dune system"---but sug- gested that the state be al- lowed to waive its current "eligibility and vulnerabil- ity" criteria in connection with armoring applications meeting all other require- ments. "Having a permit on file would legitimize the struc- ture and would facilitate maintenance accountability and tracking," the letter fur- ther stated. In the weeks prior to the filing of HB1311 in the Leg- islature, representatives of the seawall/armoring own- ers met in Tallahassee with representatives of the coun- ty, DEP and the public to at- tempt a compromise on the bill. Cherry commented on April 5 that the input of the various parties had been helpful in creating a better piece of legislation. He re- ported that, although Wal- ton County had issue with the original bill language, the compromise language resulting from the stake- holder meetings had been agreed on by all parties. The compromise bill was filed in the Legislature on March 7 without further re- visions. The local bill would al- low post-Hurricane Dennis seawalls and sand-filled geotextiles to stay in place on a permanent basis with- out the requirement for a permit, even structures that may be encroaching off the property of the person con- structing the structure--- although it is specified that the bill does not authorize such placement without consent of the owner of the adjacent property. The bill would require DEP to "develop an informa- tional list" of the structures to which it is to apply, with a description of the type of structure and its location in relation to the Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) and the coastal range monuments that are part of a statewide network of survey monumentation used by DEP. The bill would also au- thorize, without need for a permit, completion of work on armoring structures for which construction began between July 10, 2005 and April 30, 2006, as long as the work takes place land- ward of the armoring struc- ture and occurs within one year. Examples of this work would include tiebacks, wal- ers and bulkhead caps. Sand placement and other work occurring gulf- ward of existing armoring structures would require a DEP permit. Permit appli- cations to cover geotextiles with sand would include a sand cover monitoring and maintenance plan. These permit applications would be exempt from the state statute criterion that build- ings or infrastructure on the property must be "vulnera- ble to damage from frequent coastal storms." Geotextile armoring con- structed during the period to which the bill applies would be required to be kept covered with three feet of beach-quality sand, stabi- lized with native vegeta- tion. A DEP permit would be required for placement of sand on these structures, and failure to comply with the sand cover/vegetation requirement would result in an order by DEP to remove the geotextiles. Any of the armoring struc- tures that is substantially damaged and for which the cost of repair would exceed 50 percent of the replace- ment cost, would be required to be removed within 90 days of when the damage oc- curred, but the owner would be able to apply to DEP for a permit to rebuild the struc- ture completely or partially. These applications would be subject to "all applicable statutory and rule require- ments." If DEP denies such a permit application, the re- moval of the structure would be required within 90 days. Any seller of one of the affected properties would be required to notify the buyer of the requirements con- tained in the bill. The bill would not exempt owners of property contain- ing armoring structures from the requirements of the Federal Endangered Spe- cies Act, including ITPs and HCPs that may be required by the USFWS. Walton County has determined that beachfront property own- ers who have constructed armoring will be able to be included with the county's ITP and will be able to par- ticipate in the county's HCP in order to address Federal Endangered Species Act requirements. A minimum one-time fee of $100 per linear foot of seawall has been proposed in order for property owners with exist- ing seawalls to participate in the HCP, with fees to be placed in a conservation ac- count to fund the activities that are part of the county's HCP. Alternatively, prop- erty owners would be able to pursue individual ITPs and HCPs to address USF- WS requirements related to their armoring. MOTORISTS ON U.S. 98 caused a commotion over the rare sight of wild hogs eating wildflowers, stopping to watch and take pictures. Hogs gone wild over wildflowers on U.S 98 Walton County Sheriffs Office (WCSO) deputies re- sponded on April 6, 2011 to a stretch of land adjacent to U.S. 98 near Watersound after receiving reports of several stopped motorists at that location. Upon arrival, deputies discovered the mo- T tourists had inadvertently stopped traffic to take pho- tographs of two large pigs and their 14 babies. WCSO deputies remained 'at the scene to minimize the ." ,'.c. possibility of traffic injuries until the Florida Fish and "'. z *' Wildlife Conservation Com- mission arrived. No injuries WHERE MOM GOES, babies are sure to follow. These young feral hogs followed in their were reported by motorists mom's footsteps to eat along U.S. 98 this past week. or animals. Contacted on March 31, Walton County District 5 Commissioner Cecilia Jones commented that, although she had had concerns about the bill, she did not believe the current version to be as bad as had been anticipat- ed. She was optimistic that it would enable armoring or parts of armoring encroach- ing on county property and on other property not owned by the armoring owner to be removed. Jones also ex- pressed approval of the provision requiring owners of armoring damaged more than 50 percent to submit a new permit application and comply with all permit con- ditions. County Commission Chair Larry Jones and county commissioners Sara Comander and Kenneth Pridgen declined requests for comment on the bill. County Commissioner Scott Brannon deferred ques- tions about the bill to Wal- ton County Environmental Manager Billy McKee, who had participated in the stakeholder meetings on the bill on behalf of the county. Contacted on April 11, McKee commented that the letter of concern still reflect- ed the desire and concerns of the county with regard to the armoring. He said of the stakehold- er meetings, "We got the most compromise out of it that we could get through that process." He described the outcome of the meetings as the majority of the com- promise being on the part of the county. McKee referenced the county's responsibilities associated with the Wal- ton County Comprehensive Plan's Coastal Protection Zone to maintain the in- tegrity of the beaches and guard against unsafe, un- sightly and environmen- tally unsound construction in that area. The county has relied on DEP's "rather stringent" permitting condi- tions for the beach area to help with those responsibil- ties, McKee said. Although the county would not have objected to some conditions being waived in the permit- ting process for the armor- ing, McKee said, the coun- ty's position remained that a permitting process should be required for the armor- ing. McKee pointed out that the bill does nothing to ad- dress the problem of armor- ing that may not be properly constructed. Also, he said, al- though the bill states that it does not authorize the pres- ence of armoring encroach- ing off the property of the owner, it does not require removal of such armoring-- -but instead puts that bur- den on the property owner being encroached upon. Cherry said that since HB1311 is a local bill, no companion bill in the Senate is a requirement. However, in order for the bill to be- come law, it will also have to be introduced in the Senate and approved there. Cherry added that the senator who will introduce the legisla- tion is yet to be determined. Have you noticed that the media is making changes so often and quickly, that it is nearly impossible to keep up with who is in and who is out? Some say it is the changing times that are making the networks reconsider these television icons' contracts and career extensions, while others say it is just a ploy for the networks to boost their ratings. --------------------------------------- From Glenn Beck announcing he would be leaving FOX, and Matt Lauer not wanting to renew his contract with NBC, to the "so long" to the queen of daytime television Oprah Winfrey, television is seeing a change that many say is long overdue. Last week, to the conservative nation's surprise, FOX radio and television talk show host, Glenn Beck, announced he will be stepping away from his radio and 5 p.m. daily talk show. For nearly two years, Glenn Beck had captivated the nation with his editorials on today's political scene. He brought to light his points of views pertaining to the Middle East, the federal government, labor unions, and the Obama administration. Under constant fire from the liberal media and many left-wing Democrats, Beck took each lashing with a grain of salt, and was constantly giving them all a piece of his mind. Beck's final day has not yet been determined, and sources say that he is parting ways with FOX, on. good terms. Beck is a media empire, and he will probably make a lateral move. Most critics and fans of Beck say that this is just the beginning of a long career that will surely catapult him to "Cronkite" status. A household name for many years, Matt Lauer will be one of several in line to take their departure from the national networks. Right on the heels of Meredith Vieira who is also THE 2011 SUMMER WEST INDIES MARKETS returns to Rosemary Beach, with the first of three markets on May 7 and 8.

For more information, or for a vendor application for any Art Clips - leaving the Today Show, Lauer might be also abandoning ship. Lauer has notified his NBC bosses that he will be resigning from the Today Show when his contract expires on Dec. 31, 2012. When asked about both Vieira and Lauer, NBC just repeated that they're both currently under contract. Many say that Lauer isn't just tired of the network, he is seeking more money and NBC isn't really wanting to put up more. The reason for the other departing morning anchor, Meredith Vieira, is not known for certain, but sources say that she is also wanting more money and NBC is apparently not able to push more money her way right now, and is seeing record downfalls in its advertising revenue. Not to pick on network news while they are down and going broke, but anchor Katie Couric, the first woman to anchor a nightly network news program, is leaving her post at CBS Evening News after less than five years on the job. Many say that she was to be the golden girl of television and would help pump up the ratings for CBS, but even with her perky smile and eye- pleasing appearance, the ratings still floundered and the No; 3 network is hemorrhaging money and losing advertisers in record numbers. Many have blamed Couric's failure on the fact that she didn't have the power to keep viewers tuned in when the news came on, but in reality, more and more viewers are turning to cable network news like FOX, CNN and MSNBC, for their nightly news. It has been a steady problem for not only CBS, but NBC and ABC, as ratings have plummeted and advertisers have consistently been pulling away from the "norms" and are spending their money on cable networks. Speaking of cable networks, they have been enjoying skyrocketing ratings and are now "the" news source for more than 70 percent of the American viewing audience. Not only has cable overtaken the old standbys, they have dominated the prime slots from noon, until 9 p.m. daily. FOX leads the way with top shows like, The O'Reilly Factor, Glenn Beck, On the Record and The Hannity Show. These shows are beating the competition in their respective time slots, not only on national networks, but on cable networks like CNN and MSNBC. But one of the biggest surprises that came about last year was the announcement by Oprah Winfrey, that she was calling it quits on her daytime talk show, Oprah. For many it was a surprise, but others were wondering just how long her reign would last. Most of the world would agree that if Oprah had stayed on the path she started her talk show on in the '90s, she would still be strong in the ratings, and advertisers would still be throwing money her way and towards Harpo Entertainment, her production company. But many say the reason she is stepping down is not because she wants to undertake other projects, but because she became too political in 2007 and 2008, by publicly backing and supporting one candidate and not giving equal airtime to the others. When Barack Obama was running for president, Oprah had him and his wife on her show numerous of the listed shows, call Hilltop Productions at 951- 2148, or log on to www.hilltopproductionsinc. com. .

At the time, all the hype and excitement was bursting around the senator from Illinois. But even with Obama's win in 2008, Winfrey's ratings began to see a slow slip and then advertisers began to jump ship in record numbers. Another reason many have cited for her departure was that she once ruled the daytime line- up and racked up numerous daytime Emmy awards, but in the recent years, other daytime hosts such as Ellen Degeneres have taken center stage and the coveted trophy, leaving Winfrey and Harpo Entertainment in the audience, or not even being invited to attend the awards shows. But don't count Oprah out. CBS is asking $1 million for a 30- second commercial spot during the final week of programming, culminating on May 25. They say that the finale will be in comparison to the finale of Friends and Frasier. Her replacement has not yet been found, and with all the turnovers in the media world over the past few weeks, it would not be much of a surprise to see Katie Couric take her spot, but that would have to be in another studio, since once again, Rosie O'Donnell will be trying her hand at daytime talk and filming in the same studio that Oprah filmed in for several years. With the latest step- downs, resignations, contract negotiations and bargaining between tele- vision personalities and networks, it will be interesting to see if there will be anyone left to present the evening news, or bring us the latest gossip on daily talk shows. One thing is for sure, if these personalities are threatening to leave, or are rumored to be thinking about making a change, it sure does make for some great television watching and keeps us, the viewing audience, glued to the boob tube for the latest developments.

N.J. THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, APRIL 14,2011 JUDY STODDARD ref- RENE ENDRES sought erenced statistics against henson is the possibility of more porta- integrating fifth-graders ademy in bles or an addition to BES. with middle-school aged students. INPUT ing in south Walton County with Superintendent Car- lene Anderson followed the workshop, after which An- derson amended her recom- mendation from mandatory attendance for fifth- graders at ECMS during the 2011- 12 school year, to optional attendance until the 2012- 13 school year. At the April 5 WCSB meeting, a revolving door of parents addressed the board with the same senti- ment: don't send our kids to ECMS. Parent Ali Barrett, (BES), said, "We truly don't want fifth-graders at middle school...we just want a bet- ter plan than that...they need to be in the right envi- ronment." Judy Stoddard (BES) referenced lists of statistics claiming "damaging effects" on school age children (5- 11) integrating with adoles- cents. Andrea Miree stated, "Moving fifth-graders to ECMS is not the best deci- sion," and recalled an excep- tional student who, accord- ing to Miree, would be more vulnerable to bullying on a middle school campus. Gary Gibson suggested an advisory panel composed of the existing parent-teach- er organization to improve communication between the district and parents. "Take advantage of the interest of the parents of [these chil- dren]," he said. Parents questioned the feasibility of adding more portable classrooms to BES and VRB and later acquir- ing property across the street from BES to build an By BRUCE COLLIER I think the last movie I saw to review was The Ad- justment Bureau, a decent enough, film, though not memorable. By contrast, David Gordon Green's Your Highness was the exact op- posite a terrible film that I'm pretty sure I'll always remember. Your Highness stars James Franco, Danny McBride (who co-wrote the screenplay), Natalie Port- man, Zooey Deschanel, Justin Theroux, and a sup- porting cast of some pretty good British and American actors. Notable among the latter was Damian Lewis, who some may remember from HBO's World War II masterpiece Band of Broth- ers. Franco has had an Os- car nomination, Portman actually won one, and I have to assume everyone else thought the movie couldn't possibly be as bad as it must have seemed while shooting it. Besides, actors' opinions probably don't mean that much in mid-production. Though I would advise no one to see this movie, it is intended as a comic take on the familiar fairy tale of a knightly quest. Two royal brothers Fabious (Franco) and Thadeous (McBride) set off to rescue Belladonna (De- additional wing. Parent Rene Endres (BES) demanded to know why the district had funding to tear down Walton Middle School (WMS) and rebuild, but could not build at BES. The board clarified WMS was not being torn down, although inaccurate reports in the April 2 edition of The Walton Sun claimed it was slated for demolition. As for land acquisition, Chairperson Sharon Rob- erts explained "[We've] never been approached as a board to buy the property across from BES," and to the board's knowledge "it is not for sale." Board member Mildred Wilkerson noted she would never vote in favor of a land purchase for which children had to cross an open street. Gilmore Road runs in be- tween BES and the prop- erty in discussion. Endres continued she did not un- derstand "Carlene's stand" on portable buildings being unsafe and why more por- tables couldn't be added to the campus. Anderson replied, "I would never say a building is unsafe, or we wouldn't put children in there at all." VRB Principal Tammy Smith explained during in- clement weather all nine classes held in portable buildings must come inside the main building, for which 18 classes are disturbed and overcrowded. "During in- clement weather...it's a lot of bodies," she said. VRB parent Anita Allen requested more research and concrete numbers on why the transition is imminent schanel) Fabious' bride-to- be, who has been kidnapped by evil sorcerer Leezar (Theroux), who wants her to birth a dragon with him. The scheme involves sex, a theme that permeates the screenplay and earns the film its R rating. There's a bit of nudity as well. The princely brothers are polar opposites. Fabious is strong, brave, stalwart and chivalrous, while Thadeous is a drunken, pot-smoking womanizer with a taste for all things tasteless. The quest is Thadeous' chance to redeem himself and bond with his loving brother. There's nothing wrong with that as a story line. Unless, apparently, you are Danny McBride. We've come a long way from Clark Gable's con- troversial "damn" in Gone With the Wind, and I won't pretend to be shocked when a certain word that be- gins with "F' is spoken in a movie. But if there was a character in Your Highness that did not say that word, at least once, I can't recall it. There's a point where it stops being funny or emphat- ic and starts sounding like some clueless screenwriter is covering for his own in- competence. Your Highness is laced with monologues and questioned how many students were attending ei- ther of the schools outside of the district in which they live. Anderson noted the district examined students attending school outside of their residency district and found it was an even swap between BES and VRB and enforcing attendance zon- ing, which the district has never done, would not ease overcrowding. Renee Johnson told the board she would like to hear "straight nays" on the rec- ommendation and see con- struction of the fourth and fifth-grade wing at ECMS expedited. Ty Sims (BES) declared, "This whole process seems to be driven by numbers, but I have yet to see a com- prehensive break down...." A comprehensive break- down is addressed each year in the five-year facility plan, Anderson said, and directed parents to a slideshow fea- turing current enrollment numbers. Capacity for VRB is 667; its current enroll- ment is 879. BES surpassed its capacity of 286 with a cur- rent enrollment of 312, and based on Kindergarten pre- registration figures, which the board uses as a growth indicator for the upcoming year, both schools will need two additional classrooms for Kindergarten alone. After reviewing the num- bers, a few parents shifted their focus from fighting the move to ECMS to discussing the success of fifth-graders on a middle school campus. "Do you all have a plan... are you talking with other counties/districts who al- whose sole purpose is for an actor to talk dirty they advance the story not at all. There's sex in all its forms, along with pedophilia, rape, emasculation, and so many adolescent references to weed that even Cheech and Chong would say, "OK, we get it," it's all there. This could have been a fun PG-13 movie there's nothing wrong with the act- ing, costumes, sets, special effects, or action sequences. Portman, who seems to have flown in from another movie (one where they were play- ing it straight) is good but absolutely squandered as a vengeful warrior maiden. The good news for her is that after Black Swan, she never has to consider screenplays like this again. Pity the rest of the cast. In the end Your Highness tries to right itself with a swashbuckling, happily-ev- er-after ending, but it's too little, too late. McBride and Green just couldn't leave well enough alone and let an honest fairy tale do the talking. This is what comes of sucking up to a demo- graphic instead of just tell- ing a good story. I saw Your Highness last Friday with six other people. Take it from us spend your money elsewhere. ready have this plan in place," asked Diana Kish (BES). "We've had dialogue with Destin as recently as yester- day," current ECMS Prinic- pal Gail Smith answered, noting Destin Middle School's great success with the 5-8 model. "[The success of any mod- el] depends entirely on the quality of the administra- tors in that building," board member Mark Davis said. "I have complete faith... that Mr. Morello [new ECMS principal] will do his best to take care of your children," Roberts added. Wilkerson followed, "I feel very confi- dent that teachers will take care of your child...we have to educate your child." Regarding the impend- ing growth, parent Jackie Ward referenced an econo- mist's prediction that Wal- ton County will be the size of Tampa within a decade and said, "I feel like we're putting a patch on it. So we can band-aid this or build another building." Board member Dennis Wallace responded, "We have a problem that's not going away. Anything we do now is going to be somewhat a band-aid...but I really do think this is a viable op- tion.", "I promise as chairman at budget cycle, we'll look at what we can do to make this better for you...we want to work with you. We love your children," Roberts said. The board amended the formal recommendation to read: "Fifth-grade students at FES to be served at FMS for 2011-12. Fifth-grade stu- dents at BES and VRB to be served at ECMS on an optional basis for 2011-12. All fifth-grade students at BES and VRB to be served at ECMS for 2012-13, to be reviewed annually and per October FTE count. During the budget planning cycle, review the five-year fa- cilities plan to consider the need to build an additional wing on the new ECMS and all other viable options." (Amendments in italics) Per the amendment to review the need to move fifth-graders to ECMS an- nually per the October FTE (full time equivalent) count, Anderson attempted to pla- cate parents' fears, stating, "If we don't need to do some- thing, we won't do it." Wal- lace added, "If Carlene tells you something, you can be- lieve it. I promise you that." The budget cycle during which the board will exam- ine the five-year facilities plan begins in June and will continue through July. No workshop dates have been scheduled. In other board business, Meredith Spence presented Principal Preast of South Walton High School an AT&T STEM at Work grant in the amount of $2,000 to purchase clinical technol- ogy tools for its Institute of Medical Sciences. Judea Kring with the Walton County Preven- tion Coalition presented a $7,000 check to the Walton County Education Founda- tion for tobacco prevention services within middle and high schools. Steve Stephenson, a teacher at Mossy Head El- ementary, was selected to attend the 2011 Mickelson ExxonMobil Teachers Acad- emy in Jersey City, N.J. this year. The academy is a one-week camp for 200 third through fifth-grade teach- ers, which according to its website, "provide[s]...teach- ers with the knowledge and skills necessary to motivate students to pursue careers in science and math." The next WCSB meeting is April 19, 2011 at 5 p.m. at the Tivoli Complex in De- Funiak Springs. RENEE JOHNSON, with baby girl in tow, said she was worried for not only her fifth grader to move to ECMS, but her younger ones coming up in school. THE WALTON COUNTY PREVENTION COALITION gave $7,000 for tobacco prevention in schools. The SpnelnstitutE AT ORTHOPAEDIC ASSOCIArEs Ft.
