Following the receipt of just over 100 applications, the commis- sioners each provided their short list of three applicants following the procedure es- tablished by Chairman Lar- ry Jones. Due to a tie in number of votes for two candidates, the BCC opted to interview four candidates for the posi- tion. Applicants making the short list are: Greg Kisela, presently serving as city manager of Destin, Fla.; John J. McCue, who served as city manager of Orange City, Fla. from 1999 until 2008; B. Gregg Mims, present- ly the city administrator of Fairhope, Ala.; and Ernie Padgett, who was County Administrator for Manatee County, Fla. from 1995 to 2007. The commissioners will individually interview each of the four applicants and submit their ranking at the next BCC meeting on Tues- day, April 26.

Meetings with community organizations as well as do- nations from citizens has resulted in a fast growing community outreach center that boasts the food pantry, GED classes, a clothes clos- et and plans for a medical facility on the tribe's small compound in Bruce. Three months ago, the ef- fort is the beneficiary of an- other big push initiated by Virgil Smith of the Village Baptist Church in Destin. Smith first enlisted the aid of his church to adopt the Rural Relief Fund as a local mission. "I have taken Christian- ity to some of the ends of the earth and someone made me aware of the dire needs in Bruce and I approached our church about taking it on as a mission project. In our first workshop we had only four churches represented and we went through and identified major needs and prioritized them. The one that came up time and time again was food. "As we do our workdays and get our folks involved from the church and focus on the compound to get it operable we can expand. We have started going out and helping out with exposed well pumps that have no protection against freezing," Smith said. Smith saw a need to pro- vide coordination between the churches and the other organizations lining up to help and suggested a coali- tion. "Each time we meet the number of faith based organizations have in- creased," he said. "The Lord has done a really, really good thing. When the word gets out about the need and people's hearts get pricked, good things happen. One of the things to think about now is how to teach them to fish. A number of folks have suggested small businesses to help them get established because they have to stand on their own. One of the measures of the maturity of a Christian is how involved they are in service to oth- ers," Smith concluded. While most of those tak- ing an active role are repre- sentatives of churches, Uni- versity of West Florida grad student Veronica Gamboa is helping with the coalition as part of her class work. "This assignment was given to my class: to research a community and complete an assessment based on factual information on such areas as location, population, income, housing, history, education, religion, government, political fac- tors, and social and health systems. Frank Sansone, a professor for the University of West Florida suggested the Muscogee Creek Na- tion tribe for my group to do our research with. Once we found out how involved the tribe and the Bruce Method- ist Church were in the Ru- ral Relief Fund, it became a personal interest," Gamboa said. Gamboa and her class- mates have discussed host- ing a fund raising event to raise funds for the project. She is unsure how much time she will have to com- mit to the project after the class is over, but says she has told the Tuckers if they ever need help, she will be there. "When my classmates and I attended the community meeting held at the Bruce Methodist Church, I was excited to see, not only the great turnout, but the list of priorities they have already assessed and the beginnings of planning stages to meet those needs. "When I looked at the list of needs for this com- munity with my group, we decided the best way to help these people was to meet their physiological needs of food, clothes, shelter, and water. The Rural Relief Fund has already taken the first step by establishing See COALITION 9-A PAGE 2-A Shirah found guilty of attempted murder State Attorney Bill Ed- dins announced on April 12 that Billie Franklin Shirah II was found guilty by a Walton County jury of be- ing a principal to the crimes of attempted first-degree premeditated murder, five counts of attempted second- degree murder, making or possessing an explosive de- vice and arson of a dwell- ing. The defendant will be sentenced at a later date by Judge Keith Brace. On Dec. 11, 2009 a De- Funiak Springs family awoke to find their kitchen in flames. Once the flames were extinguished, law en- forcement was able to de- termine that the fire was intentionally set. Through the course of their inves- tigation, law enforcement officers with the State Fire Marshal's Office and Wal- ton County Sheriffs Office determined that Shirah recruited a codefendant to throw a Molotov cocktail at the house. At trial, the codefendant testified that Shirah asked him to kill a person who was staying at the house in ex- change for 90 lortab pills. Several witnesses testified during the trial that Shirah had talked of getting some- one to kill the victim. The victim that Shirah -wanted to kill had allegedly taken prescription pills from Shi- rah. The codefendant also testified that Shirah filled a beer bottle with gasoline and placed a wick in the bot- tle to make a Molotov cock- tail. Shirah then drove the codefendant to the house and told the codefendant at which house to throw the flaming bottle. Shirah claimed to be out of Walton County at the time of the arson. However, the defendant's cell phone records placed him east of DeFuniak Springs minutes after the arson. At the time the Molotov'cocktail ignited the kitchen there were six people asleep in the house, including two young chil- dren. None of the occupants were seriously injured. Shirah is facing a pos- sible life sentence. Upon learning of the verdict of the jury one victim stated "I'm glad they found him guilty because I could have lost my kids. I hope he gets a long time." The investiga- tion was conducted by the State Fire Marshal's Office, Walton County Sheriffs Of- fice, and the State Attorneys Office. Assistant State At- torney Josh Mitchell pros- ecuted the case. - --- --- MAY DAY FESTIVAL softball tournament is com- ing May 21 Fifth Annual May Day Festival Softball Tournament The May Day Festival softball tournament will take place on Saturday, May 21, at Gene Hurley Park in DeFuniak Springs.

THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, APRIL 21,2011 WORK VEHICLES great and small were up for bids at the 2011 Walton County Surplus Auction, held at the Walton County Fairgrounds on Thursday, April 14. Though Walton County contributed the bulk of the auction's lots, Okaloosa County and the city of Paxton also had vehicles for sale. Vehicles confiscated as a result of police investigations, work trucks, lumber and squad cars were also on sale.

Faces up to 35 years trafficking State Attorney Bill Ed- dins announced that on April 12, James Edward Porter was sentenced by Judge Brace to 20 years in state prison with the first 15 years as a minimum' man- datory sentence. The defen- dant was also ordered to pay a minimum mandatory fine of $250,000. On March 8, Porter was convicted by a Walton Coun- ty jury for trafficking in methamphetamine over 200 grams, possession of listed chemicals, sale, manufac- ture, delivery or possession with intent to sell manufac- ture, or deliver, and posses- sion of drug paraphernalia. On Aug. 19, 2010 depu- ties with Walton County Sheriffs Office were inves- tigating a tip that a wanted felon, Peter Cotton, was staying at the same house as James Porter. While dep- uties had the house under surveillance, they saw Cot- ton come out of the house with a plastic tub and hide it in the woods. Deputies also saw Porter coming and going from the house. When Deputies approached the house to arrest Cotton, in- vestigators went to search the tub. Upon searching the tub, investigators dis- covered over 200 grams of what is commonly called meth oil. Also in the tub were various items used to manufacture methamphet- amine. Deputies also noted a strong odor coming from inside the house that is dis- tinct to the manufacture of methamphetamine. The investigation and ar- rest were conducted by the Walton County Sheriffs Of- fice and the State Attorney's Office. The case was pros- ecuted by Assistant State Attorney Jonathan Schlech- ter. For further informa- tion, contact Schlechter at (850)892-8080. Day convicted of aggravated child abuse and neglect After two days of hearing testimony, including that of Jerid Day's seven year old daughter, a jury deliberated for less than an hour before rendering a guilty verdict. The former Walton County Sheriffs deputy entered a not guilty plea to abuse and neglect charges when his three-month-old daughter Emma was discovered to have suffered a broken leg, skull fracture, and bleeding on the brain in July 2010. Day denied any trauma to his ex-wife who first no- ticed the infant's injuries on July 24, 2010, yet the follow- ing day claimed he dropped the baby on the kitchen floor. However, accord- ing to a press release from the State Attorney's office, Day's seven-year-old daugh- ter testified "her daddy grabbed the baby up by the foot, called her a curse word, and dropped her in her crib, causing her to scream." Day now faces up to 35 years in prison and stands to be sentenced May 31, 2011. In a recorded state- ment to the Walton County Sheriffs Office investigator, Day said his actions were inexcusable, and admitted having "an uncontrollable fire in him," noting "men- Thomas D.

We must continue to provide the best service to our community while being'fiscally responsible, transparent, and accountable to the people. I know there will be tough decisions ahead and I am pre- pared to make those as your representative. I pledge to continue to seek ways to save tax dollars, pursue grant opportunities, and explore and develop partnerships with other agencies. I will continue to do what is right for the city we all dearly love. I will continue to be a strong leader, strong voice, and a strong advocate for the city of DeFuniak Springs! Please allow me the honor of continuing to serve you by voting for James Huffman, DeFuniak Springs City Council, Seat 2 on May 3, 2011. Paid Political Advertisement Paid For And Approved By James Huffman Non Partisan For City Council Seat 2 t 1 I _ 7IS( PAGE 3-A JAMES HUFFMAN SEEKING RE-ELECTION IN MAY RUN- OFF Political campaign message submitted by James Huffman My name is James Huffman and I am requesting your support in re-electing me to the DeFuniak Springs City Council, Seat 2. Our city has come a long way over the last eight years. Please allow me the honor of continuing to serve you as we continue moving our city forward and preparing ourselves for growth. I am a strong advocate for preserving our history and the character of our community. I have a VISION to do so, we must continue to ensure that we have planned, progressive and responsible growth. I am a leader who has been instrumental in several initiatives to enhance our qual- ity of life. Among them are the current Phase III Water System Improvement Proj- ect, a project partially funded with over $1 million dollars in federal grants, which will not only upgrade our aging water infrastructure in our historical down town and other areas through-out the city, it will also improve our fire protection. Adequate fire protection is not only vital for our residents; it is also an essential component in attracting new businesses to our city. Many larger companies cannot, and will not, locate in communities that don't have the appropriate water pressure to insure fire suppression. This is why this project is so important not only to me but our residents and future businesses in our community. I am a strong voice for economic development, and am currently serving on our Walton County Economic Development Alliance Board. This partnership between Walton County, and the cities of DeFuniak Springs, Freeport, and Paxton was a re- sult of my VISION for a community that should provide careers for our young people, so they aren't forced to leave our city to find a job that makes a decent living for themselves and their families. This is deeply important to me, as it is with many of us in DeFuniak Springs. We need to assist our local businesses in surviving and expanding, and we also need to put more focus on our downtown. It is a jewel and needs our attention. With the right focus on downtown redevelopment, providing opportunities for recreation, arts and culture, I am certain that downtown DeFuniak Springs can once again be a vibrant, thriving business community. With my vision and leadership our City has laid the ground work and obtained the support of the Walton County Board of County Commissioners and the Walton County School Dis- trict to create a downtown Community Redevelopment Agency, which will provide funding opportunities for improvements to our downtown. We can accomplish this by partnering with a local college or university at a fraction of the cost of engaging a consulting firm, while supporting students and education. I am a strong advocate for enhancing our recreational facilities. We can accomplish this effectively and be more fiscally responsible by partnering with other government agencies. We are all here to serve the public and develop partnerships to save tax dollars. I was a leader in establishing interlocal agreements with Walton County to manage our recreational facilities. We had the land, and they had the staff; through this partnership we are able to provide more recreation opportunities for our youth and our adults at a cost saving to the tax payers. Partnerships like these provide a higher level of service without an additional burden to our budget. Enhanced recre- ational facilities will also provide an economic boost to our businesses. By attracting various sports tournaments we will provide our local business people with customers who need to eat, sleep, and shop, and they will do it here. Enhanced recreational facilities is also a benefit to our youth and families; providing them with quality of life. Over the past few years I have been a strong leader in developing a more walkable community by improving and adding additional sidewalks all around our City, which included sidewalk leveling around the Lake yard and new sidewalks on Dorsey, 19th Street, Live Oak, and Burdick. And I pledge to continue making this a priority. I also pledge to provide our citizens with a well trained and equipped workforce so our com- munity can continue to benefit from the current level of service we receive from our police department, fire department, public works department, and all other depart- ments serving our community. Under my leadership we have: Made improvements to the Community Center which included new appliances, a covered walkway out back, repainted the interior, and upgraded our restrooms. Improved our Amphitheatre by installing a handicap ramp, upgrading the restrooms, and water sealed the benches to protect them from the elements and prolong their useful life. Relocated our Utility and Public Works facilities to the former FDOT yard, which has provided expanded office space and better security for our city equipment and vehicles. Provided additional burial options at Magnolia Cemetery, which include expansion of the old section and a columbarium for cremations. Enhance and rebuilt Pat Covell Park #2 with a grant from the FDEP; which al- lowed us to build bathrooms, a Pavilion, Basketball Court, Playground Equipment, Ball field, Bleachers, Picnic Tables, and Benches. Upgrade the Clay Street Tennis Courts Improved street signage throughout the city to meet state and federal require- ments, while establishing the boundaries of our historic district with historic sig- nage. Rebuild and repave 11th Street and West Avenue, in partnership with Walton County, saving taxpayers dollars. Implemented asphalt hot patch repairs for road cuts and pot holes, a cost- saving measure to improve the safety and useful life of our roads Installation of a fuel card reader system to more effectively track use of fuel within the city fleet, eliminating theft and providing detailed use which has assisted in ad- dressing fuel conservation. Expanded our natural gas service area and installed new ordorization equipment to improve safety. Implemented a program to map, evaluate, maintain, and repair our aging infra- structure for all city utilities Initiated a partnership with Walton Correctional Institution to provide inmates with opportunities to develop their skills while they work on city projects; which re- sults in a tax savings to the citizens of DeFuniak Springs. Built successful partnership with Walton County Board of County Commissioners to establish enhanced recreation, improved animal control, and the Boys & Girls Club - Teen Club to serve our youth, and the Life Enrichment Senior Center to serve our seniors. We have accomplished a lot, but still have a long way to go; however, I know we are on the right course! We have been recognized over the last few years with the several awards and we now have other cities contacting us to seek advice on how we do things. Some of our most recent awards are: 2007 Northwest Florida League of Cities Municipal Official of the Year Council member Don Harrison 2008 Florida Chapter of the American Public Works Association, Public Works Project of the Year Historic Restoration/Preservation for the Chautauqua Hall of Brotherhood preservation project. 2008 CH2MHILL/OMI Partnership Award Kim Kirby, City Manager PAGE 4-A Editorial Comment *PERSONAL COMMENTS *LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Editorial comment The Adventures of Baron Mortenson? By BRUCE COLLIER If you have any interest in truth in media, it's worth- while reading what's been going on with Greg Mortenson, author of Three Cups of Tea and co-founder of the Central Asia Institute (CAI). Three Cups of Tea, a bestselling book, purports to be "One man's mission to promote peace...one school at a time." Recent investigations have raised the question, is Three Cups of Tea fact, or fiction? For the record, it was published as fact. Mortenson spent a lot of time in Afghanistan, Pakistan and other places in the back of beyond, and had some pretty exciting adven- tures, he says. He emerged to become a friend of generals, presidents and assorted international advisors as an old Central Asia hand the kind of guy you want along on any expedition, military operation or diplomatic mission. The CAI has become a big-ticket foundation, opening schools (with a special emphasis on educating girls), vocational centers, libraries and 6ther institutions in remote parts of that already remote part of the world. But did any of it actually happen? Recently several peo- ple, including former friends of Mortenson, started talk- ing to the press about his writing. One incident involved Mortenson's account of being kidnapped and held for eight days by the Taliban. Television news program 60 Minutes wrote Mortenson that they had been informed by three sep- arate sources that there was no kidnapping and no Taliban. Mortenson's response was that he was detained against his will. As for the Taliban, he said, "yes, there were Taliban in the region," adding that "[a] 'Talib' means a student in Ara- bic...." He then notes that "affiliations change overnight, often on a whim." Seems like if Mortenson was kidnapped by the Taliban, he must have been told or figured it out himself. Or is he saying he was actually held by a bunch of students (talibs) and if anyone thought he meant the terrorist group, that's just their lousy Arabic? Why the hairsplitting? In another incident involving Mortenson's presence in a Pakistani village, 60 Minutes suggests he was not there when he says he was. Mortenson's response is that the lo- cals (called Balti) "have a completely different notion about time." He adds, "The Balti consider the western notion of time quite amusing." Yes, but do they see people that aren't there, too? All of this is irrelevant, of course, to what the CAI has accomplished. Assuming they have actually accomplished it. Another challenge from 60 Minutes was that a number of schools listed on CAI's website either were built by some- one else, were not functioning as schools, or "did not exist at all." Mortenson questions the source, suggesting it may be a "disgruntled manager" in Pakistan and therefore not credible. He also hinted that this all might be ratings ploy. Does that mean it's not true? There's more, much of it concerned with the question of whether Mortenson has been receiving "excess benefits" in violation of IRS rules. He gets fat speaking fees, travels first class, and has to foot a sizable security bill as well. CAI's response has been that CAI gets more from Mortenson's ac- tivities than he does himself. Does that answer the question for you, IRS? As for the success of the schools, CAI says, in effect, they must be working, because Pakistan keeps ask- ing for more. More money, more support, just more. God knows, Pakistan isn't just taking the money, right? Not Pakistan. Critics are jumping on the story, some to support, some to condemn, others to just whine about how we need a hero and here's another with feet of clay. The tone of the sup- porters seems to be, CAI is doing a good thing, who cares if Mortenson is embroidering, or if he lives high on the insti- tute's dollar? Could be, but why are they all so hesitant about answer- ing questions? President Obama reportedly gave $100,000 of his Nobel Peace Prize money to the organization, and I doubt that was the biggest contribution CAI ever received. The longer Mortenson waits, the longer his nose is going to look. Too bad he's not a movie star, that would solve every- thing. Mortenson's Torpedo of Truth, anyone? I A P.0 Bo014 De- I.

The development is coming along as planned with the first apartment homes being available in August. Ap- plications and inquiries for the apartments have been re- ceived from many people including police officers, seniors and other working families in the area. To clear up any misunderstanding, the Arbours at Shoe- maker Place is being developed and managed by Arbour Valley companies which are privately owned and operated. Our company is committed to owning and managing the apartments for the long term, just as we have done with every apartment community we have ever developed. We look forward to opening our doors in the coming months and becoming part of the beautiful City of DeFuniak Springs. Sam Johnston Owner Arbours at Shoemaker Place Birmingham, Ala. LETE O HEEITO Editor: Another reason to volunteer... Alaqua no-kill animal refuge and the people who work and volunteer there are my new heroes. I guess I should start at the beginning. I went there to volunteer purely for selfish reasons. I want to learn more about dogs and there behavior problems. Alaqua is letting me walk dogs and in turn I get to observe dogs of all kinds and sizes that have lived hard and some times abused lives. Although walking the Great Pyrenees and Bobby the little hound dog was a pleasure, working with some of the more abused and less experienced dogs gave me sense of accom- plishment. By the end of day one I was hooked and couldn't wait to return to this amazing sanctuary. I drove down the scenic lane leading to the picturesque grounds passing the horse pasture and realized a cow lived there too and then I heard a rooster crow. My love for dogs along with my haste to see them, blinded me of every thing else that first day. Finally my second volunteer day arrived. I drove south on 331 trying not to speed. I felt like a kid on the way to the beach. A highway patrolman with lights flashing and sirens blaring flew by and turned on to Interstate 10. Little did I know the accident he was responding too would change my reasons for volunteering at this great place of refuge. After signing in at the office I realized I was mostly on my own mainly because I was early but also because Alaqua is short handed due to the snowbird season ending. A lot of volunteers come here from the north to winter and leave with onset of spring. But there was another reason for their being short-hand- ed on this day. The highway patrolmen I passed responded to an accident on Interstate 10 involving a horse trailer loaded with horses. Alaqua also responded sending their veterinarian and her assistant to help. I wasn't aware of the situation yet I just knew I was one of only two volunteers walking dogs that day. I met a nice young lady feeding dogs and inquired about a beautiful Do- berman pincher and learned she was also a volunteer filling in for another tech who was busy getting the horse barn ready for some unknown reason. I really didn't mind walking dogs for over four hours; ac- tually I was in dog heaven. Just as I entered the last kennel and snapped a leash on a tiny miniature Doberman pincher I was pleasantly interrupted by the young lady feeding. In conversation I learned of the tragedy on the interstate. Nee- dles to say I felt heart sick for the folks involved. I finished my day walking Joe Cocker, a lovely little cocker spaniel and signed out. The importance of facilities such as Alaqua Animal Ref- uge suddenly overwhelmed me as the horses from the ac- cident arrived. I stayed back out of the way but wanted to help so badly. But the banged up horses were in good hands and handled with kid gloves I left with a tear escaping and thankful that such places exist. I now have a more impor- tant reason for donating a couple hours a week to this won- derful origination. I too have pets that travel with me and realize they too may be in need of help some day. Thank you Alaqua, it's comforting to know such places exist to care for our pets in an emergency and I for one can't wait to snap a leash on yet another dog or brush a horse and maybe feed a chicken or two. A More Than Grateful Volunteer... Thank you, Bob Yancey DeFuniak Springs p.s. If you would like to volunteer at Alaqua Animal Refuge, please call (850) 880-6399 or info@aarflorida.com LETT'ER TO TE EDITRs Editor: Subject: Times of severe testing 1. God's ways are always above man's way. There is only one way to heaven and one truth. In these end times of troubled waters all around, there is no solution other than to focus on Jesus and follow him. 2. Since the times of Adam and Eve God has used a man or a very few to bless many. Whenever man has not taken his headship and allowed those under him to take the lead suffering and death for all has followed. When lot and his wife had to quickly leave Sodom is another perfect example. Lot's wife looked back and the consequences were immedi- ate. Every human today has a free choice and has to answer only to God. 3. Today we who live now have a free choice to allow known corruption, sin and error to continue and/or stand true. For what we know to be right and the truth. To do otherwise is to see bad consequences begin now and get worse. 4. Our first weapon is to pray and believe. Then do what we know is right, then trust God and we'll see miracles. May God continue to bless this nation and world. Sincerely William B. Webster New Harmony Community I ETERTOTE DIOR: Editor: Wednesday, February 2, 2011, began like any other Wednesday morning for our family. Within a split second the world as we knew it came to an end. Our husband, fa- ther, son, brother, and friend, Greg Malloy lost his life. It has been a very difficult and trying time however, we are so blessed to live in a community where there are so many caring arid loving people. We would like to thank everyone for their giving hearts of love and kindness. Thanks to those who brought food, sent cards, visited, sent flowers, and most of all thanks for calling to let us know how much we were loved. Thanks so much for keeping our family in your prayers and thoughts during this time of sorrow. There is no way that we can thank each and everyone individually for everything that was done for us. However, we would like to begin by thank- ing the Fort Walton Beach Hospital staff, the local law en- forcement agencies...Okaloosa, Walton, Holmes, Washing- ton, and Jackson County Sheriffs Department, the Walton County School District, Jerry Evans Funeral Home, Broth- er Frank McIntosh, and Brother David Ellis. We would like to thank Jerry and Gwen Stafford, Brad Stafford, and Johnnie Kaye Ealum for blessing us with such beautiful songs. Also, we would like to thank the thousands of people who attended the viewing and funeral. We would like to thank each and everyone who was able to share their stories of how Greg had touched or impacted their own life personally and professionally. Thanks to all of the people who traveled from all over to honor and respect Greg. A special thanks to the Florida Department of Corrections for the food, the cards, the flowers, and donations that were made in Greg's honor. The Florida Department of Corrections truly came together during a difficult time and stood united under a slogan that Greg Malloy's family will never forget, "We Never Walk Alone." We would also like to thank Governor Rick Scott, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, and for- mer Secretary of Florida Department of Corrections, Walt McNeil, for taking the time to speak in honor of Greg. In closing, there are no words to describe the devastation we felt on that day, February 2, 2011. At the same time, our family was so honored by the respect and admiration that was shown to Greg. Everyone that knew Greg Malloy knew that he died that day loving what he was doing and fight- ing for something he truly believed in. Greg died that day a hero and he was honored as a hero. The Family of Greg Malloy Darlington area IT LETTETO THE ED ITO : Editor: We attended the showing of the play Murder Can Be Habit Forming at the Chautauqua Theatre on Friday eve- ning. It was a thoroughly enjoyable performance showcas- ing the talent of the performers in the area. This wonderful theatre took me back to the Totem Pole Playhouse at Cale- donia State Park in southern Pennsylvania where another young actress got her start. You may recall Jean Stapleton, (a.k.a. Edith Bunker) who delighted audiences for many years until her discovery. Such was the talent that was present at Friday night's performance. Keep up the good work. Your talent is so appreciated.

No need is greater than the basic need for food-so the housing and education issues could come later. The coalition is a great team of professionals and high-energy people. We, the students of the UWF Masters of Social Work de- partment, were very lucky to see the great relief work going on in the community of Bruce. And when Ann Tucker calls, we'll be ready to lend a hand," she said. The movement is wide- spread throughout several counties. William Howell represented the South Wal- ton Baptist Church and said the coalition is looking for different churches to spear- head specific projects. "I re- alize things are tough but I can't understand why in this day and age our people are hungry. We feel we must get out in the community and help to take care of some of these problems. Start with the people in our own com- munity and work out from there," Howell said. Cyndi and Tom Talty have been involved for quite a while. They are usually on hand every time the pantry is open. "We go and help them service the pantry and register the people, find out their needs and talk to them," said Cyndi. "We are there every time usually. Sometimes I check people in and process them. This last time I found out somebody had diabetes and who had not taken insulin for two days because she couldn't afford to buy the drug. I try to match the need up to who I can find solve it. We got the money immediately by approaching a group from Village Baptist who were working outside. They liter- ally emptied their pockets and handed her the money she needed. It gives me shiv- ers. "At our meetings, we put up things up on the board ELIZABETH HENDERSON, EMPLOYEE of the Quar- ter January March 2011, Walton County Tax Collector's Office. Henderson named WCTC employee of the quarter Tax Collector Rhonda Skipper and the employees of the Walton County Tax Collector's office honored Elizabeth Henderson as the Employee of the Quarter for January March 2011. Henderson has been em- ployed full-time with the Tax Collector's Office since 2007. She began her career with the Tax Collector's Office in the Santa Rosa Beach office as a Revenue Collections Clerk before transferring to the DeFuniak Springs office in 2008. Henderson currently works in the Automated Col- lections Department where she transferred in 2009. In her current role, she pro- vides service to our exter- nal customers including answering questions over the phone and processing phone payments, processing online and mail payments and assisting with internal and external marketing and communications through electronic mail blasts to cus- tomers and serving as co- editor of the employee news- letter. During the awards pre- sentation, Skipper com- mended Henderson on her professional development. "I have had the opportu- nity to see Beth grow and mature and work hard to de- velop her professional skills. She has contributed to the office in many ways and we are proud of how far she has come," said Skipper. Nominations for the Em- ployee of the Quarter honor can be made by any member of the Tax Collector's staff.

At a recent meeting, priorities were laid out and a plan of addressing them discussed. (Photo by Chuck Tucker) about the needs and a dif- ferent church will adopt the project. We plan to buy some equipment to go with the new playground like jump ropes. My Sunday school class at A Simple Faith is al- ways looking for something to do for other kids. The kids are very insistent about col- lecting money from people. People are very generous. Simple Faith has given mon- ey, clothing and continues to support them that way, but the biggest thing is love. We are teaching the kids that they can help other kids," she said. The compartmentaliza- tion of needs has results in the BeGenerous organiza- tion taking on the task of providing adult and chil- dren's diapers to Bruce. Stephanie McGill, founder of the organization said, "BeGenerous Inc. has estab- lished a local diaper bank in our community for strug- gling families. Our first mis- sion was to cover 'Every lit- tle Bottom.' However, once we called upon the different agencies to see if they could use our donations, we found the needs were much more than just diapers for babies' bottoms. Our efforts now in- clude but are not limited to; providing diapers for babies and elderly, wipes, diaper creams, teething medica- tions, feminine products, gasoline so people can get to job interviews and every- thing in between," she said. McGill, the mother of six children said, "I person- ally have dedicated myself and children to serve at the Muscogee Nation's Rural Relief program every food pantry date but BeGener- ous has ongoing efforts to support the needy families in Bruce whenever we get a call. Our involvement is to stock diapers and wipes on the pantry shelves and serve the community of Bruce. A VARIETY of people are joining the Rural Relief Coalition. Here they sign in with their names and the group they represent at the last meeting. (Photo by Chuck Tucker) We have brought brand new shoes to Bruce one Saturday in order to help parents out that have not been able to provide new shoes for their kids. One mother came to me with her little one bare- foot in the dirt and said 'who knew we could come to the food pantry with my barefoot baby because he had no shoes and we leave with shoes on his feet. This is awesome.' That's what this is all about to me. See- ing smiles on people's fac- ing and giving them a little break and hope. We also have stocked the thrift store with truckloads of clothing which was donated to Be- Generous, Inc from Path of Grace and their thrift store in hopes to help the people in need in Bruce. We have also picked up groceries for families and delivered for them when they had no gas to get to the pantry. Our main goal is to provide help to families with whatever they need to help give them Blue Angels Jewelry Fair April 21 Jewelry, handbag and gift sale April 21, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the lobby in Healthmark Regional Medical Center.

There are nine qualified contractors with bid pack- ets and the bid opening date is scheduled for May 3. Jay expects field work to start in about 45 days. City Clerk Robin Haynes asked the Council to cancel the regular Council meeting scheduled for May 10 and reschedule it for Monday, May 16. The Council ap- proved the request. Haynes asked the Coun- cil to set a date to rank the engineering contractors for the project to bring the Wagon Wheel Road well up to standard. The rank- ings will be done at the next regular Council meeting on April 28. The Council approved a request by Marse to pur- chase a replacement "four wheeler" for the one now on hand but out of service in need of major repairs. The replacement cost is expected to be approximately $7,800. The Council approved renewing the right-of-way maintenance contract with the DOT for grass and lit- ter control on state roads inside of the city. The city will receive $19,000 for this work which does not include work on the U.S. 331 right- of-way. Councilman Harold Taunton opened a discus- sion about a pet restraint ordinance for the city. The question of how to enforce such a law was raised. The city will check with the County Animal Control group before moving ahead with a new regulation.

Bradshaw stated to officers that he had been falsely imprisoned at gun point while exiting his vehicle at a local banking institution. Bradshaw further stated that after one of two un- known male subjects placed a handgun to his head, they forced him back into his ve- hicle and made him lie on the floor, while robbing him of $300. He then was driven to a remote, wooded location outside the city limits where his feet and hands were bound with rope. The sub- jects left Bradshaw and his vehicle and fled the scene on foot, at which he began to yell out when a female walk- ing near the area heard his calls for help. She was said to have located him in the woods and drove him back to his place of employment. Officers taking the report found numerous inconsis- tencies in Bradshaw's story and began to investigate these inconsistericies. The physical evidence showed that things could not .have occurred as Bradshaw stat- ed. The witness was later interviewed by detectives where she provided a state- ment that she had found Bradshaw parked in his vehicle near her residence and that he appeared to be under the influence of some illegal substance. She asked him to leave the area but he stated that he could not drive. As she drove him to his place of employment, Bradshaw ripped his own shirt and requested she tell his boss that she had found him bound with ropes in the woods. Officers believe that Bradshaw provided a false report in an attempt to cover up his theft of the $300 from his employer. Bradshaw was arrested for the false report and grand theft and trans- ported to the Walton County jail.

PAGE 10-A THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, APRIL 21,2011 PAGE 11-A Reminiscing: Murder at Sandy Creek Story and photos by JEFFREY POWELL Today the area were Tan- trough and Sandy Creeks meet in north Walton County is a peaceful, quiet place on private property. Birds fly overhead and an occasional vehicle passes by on the nearby roadway. The clear waters of the two creeks, though, have a his- tory that belies this serene setting. In the mid 1930s a gen- tleman named Harrison M. Fry moved to Walton Coun- ty from somewhere in Colo- rado. He was not a young man, perhaps in his early 60s, according to local his- tory enthusiast and pastor Kenneth Harrison. He did appear to be a man of some means due to his dress and mannerisms although not many people got to know him very well. "It appeared that he just kept to himself," Harrison said. Fry was one of the few men in the area to wear a gold watch fob and watch. Sometime in 1941 Fry went missing. It took a little while for the residence to become suspicious due to his solitary ways but he had not been seen in more than a week. A young girl that lived in the area went down to a secluded place to relieve herself when she saw buz- zards flying around. She investigated the area and found the decomposing body of Fry. Walton County Sheriff Monroe Prescott was no- tified and he and several prominent members of the community began the task of retrieving Fry's body. Among those present were Harrison's grandfather Daniel Roderick Anderson, his father Horace Franklin Harrison, and 9-year-old Harrison himself. After first looking at the body it was apparent Fry was the victim of foul play. A large portion of the back of his skull had been obliterated by a shot- gun blast. A coroner's jury was formed that, in part, includ- ed Anderson, Harrison, Ben Anderson and Claude Ed- wards. Soon the task of re- moving .Fry's body was un- dertaken. Among those that helped in this endeavor was a man named Bud Farmer. "I remember them rolling that old man into a blanket and thinking what a hor- rible thing it was," Harrison said. "The sight and smell were just awful." In fact the task was so distasteful that Farmer in- sisted the group hurry up and get the job done. Due to the condition of the body a burial party was formed immediately and Fry was laid to rest in the Pleas- ant Grove Baptist Church Cemetery. Locals had no way to know if Fry had any relatives and to this day no one has ever inquired as to his well-being. Harrison's father built a coffin, provid- ed a stone that reads "Came here from Colorado;" and supervised the burial. After speaking with lo- cals the sheriff surmised that robbery may have been a motive due to the absence of Fry's watch. Prescott returned to the area and found Fry's hat which still had a piece of wadding from a shotgun shell embedded in it. The wadding was linked to shells Bud Farmer had access to and a suspect was identified. After some pres- sure was applied, Farmer confessed that he killed the man because he had worked him too hard and he wanted the watch. Farmer led the sheriff to the watch and a few gold coins which had been buried in an ox stall. The investigation also revealed that Farmer had sneaked up on Fry while he was doing his laundry in the creek. Farmer had shot the man and left him there for a short time before return- ing and carrying Fry to a wet weather pond were he was found about 100 yards away. Harrison's father Horace made a tape recording of memorable instances before his death. On the tape he discusses the Fry murder. "On that day Bud Farmer entered into a conspiracy with the devil," he said. He also mentioned that Farm- er confessed "because he dreaded going before Judge Trotman." Farmer was convicted of the killing and sentenced to prison where he spent most of his life. He was paroled but did not return to the area. According to Harrison he died shortly after his re- lease. "I think that this crime is indicative of crimes com- mitted even today," Harri- son said while visiting Fry's grave. "People do things be- cause of anger or money. It was evil then and it is evil now." LONGTIME PLEASANT GROVE COMMUNITY resident Kenneth Harrison stands at Fry's grave.

TEN-YEAR-OLD COWGIRL Jaycelyn Merchant displays a few of the items she has won during her roping career. Holmes County cowgirl loves to rope and ride JAYCELYN MERCHANT POSES WITH TWO horses she has ridden extensively. The gray is Cowgirl (1) and the chest- nut is Tonka. RIDER AND MOUNT come out of the chute as Jaycelyn's father Tim looks on. Story and photos by JEFFREYPOWELL It would seem that 10-year-old Jaycelyn Mer- chant has no fear. No fear of an animal that weighs many times more than she does. No fear of competing against riders that may be more experienced than her and no fear of being injured although she has already broken both of her arms. In short, this self-described cowgirl just loves to rope and ride. "I practice almost ev- ery day," said the beaming Jaycelyn. "I love to be around the animals and love to ride my horses. My dad was al- ways roping and I saw other riders and decided I want to do that." And do that she did. Jaycelyn has been compet- ing since she was five and participates in a variety of events. She regularly enters barrel racing, pole bending, breakaway roping, ribbon roping and goat ty- ing events. Over her short career she has won $1,250 and many belt buckles and saddles. Her father Tim is understandably proud of these trophies but stresses their participation in the ro- deo goes much further than material items. "This sport is just good clean fun," said Tim. "Kids need something to do that promotes a clean godly life- style and rodeo provides us both with that. We both en- joy being with the other rid- ers and I am happy she is interested in horsemanship. As far as her ability she re- ally is a natural. I don't say that just because she is my daughter. She sits a horse well and she works at it. Her horsemanship for her age is awesome." Jaycelyn has received help from the rodeo commu- nity and specifically Dallas Dewees who lent her a pony to compete with. Jaycelyn and Dallas traded horses temporarily and the deal has benefited them both. She has also received help from a higher authority. "I want to ride and com- pete for as long as I can," she said. "Winning feels good but mostly I love the sport. I am thankful my parents support me and I am also thankful of the Lord for helping me and watch- ing out for me. When I get bigger I would like to be a veterinarian and with God's help everything will work out." ASHLEYAMAng SO '**. ; ^^ By ASHLEYAMASON ^ Last week during the De- Funiak Springs City Council elections, I noticed Facebook was abuzz with posts on im- proving the city, a voice for youths and businesses, and electing officials who have a progressive vision for De- Funiak Springs. My first thought was, "Great! Young adults and youths becom- ing involved in their local government." My second thought was, "Why haven't I seen any of you at the Coun- cil meetings?" As I read further, most of the posts listed complaints about how little DeFuniak Springs offers for youth and how most teenagers have one goal upon high school graduation: get out of here. I was one of those teenag- ers. Actually, I could have been the group president. No one wanted to leave this town more than I. No movie theater, no shopping center, not even a bowling alley or skating rink? As for dining out, we basically have four options. The youth have next to nothing keeping them here. South Waltor, Crestview, Niceville, all of the cities around DeFuniak Springs leapt forward, offer- ing numerous venues for so- cial interaction, entertain- ment, shopping and dining. DeFuniak stayed close to the same, which for many residents is a point of pride. The town is a picturesque refuge, a version of May- berry in the 21st century, which indeed has its perks. However, those perks would only increase if it re- tained more of its born and bred citizens, hence more commerce, more options, better quality of life. Presently, most of the. teens and adults (30 and un- der) staying in or returning to DeFuniak Springs feel they were trapped by a poor economy, crippling debt, or family obligations. I had the love of my life in my rearview mirror and returned. However, most who leave break off their rearview mirrors and aren't ever coming back. When they make their homes else- where, DeFuniak Springs loses their talent, their eco- nomic contributions, their kinship. Ironically, at the last City Council meeting, a busi- ness quote was read which stated if you, as a company or an entity, aren't selling to youth, you're out of business in 30 years. What is DeFuniak Springs selling to our youth? Aside from the Boys & Girls Club, there are few afterschool hangouts which don't count as loitering in the Walmart parking lot. To see a movie, we have to drive at least half an hour with gas at $4/gallon. What about a prom dress, a party store, a Chic-Fil-A? It's all at least an hour's drive. Not to mention the fewer busi- nesses DeFuniak Springs attracts the fewer jobs it can provide, diminishing incen- tiye to stay. Of course, certain things are beyond the Council's control, and I can vouch many of them demonstrate a progressive mindfulness to attract businesses to the area. Yet disagreements on the best method to do so often results in stagna- tion. What does that bode for DeFuniak Springs in 30 years? As much as I en- joy the Lakeyard, access to beaches, and a sense of com- munity, in addition to the fact that DeFuniak Springs is my hometown, I don't in- tend to live out my life here if it stays as-is. When asked, "Where are you from," there is only one place you either puff up or shrink down to admit. Shouldn't DeFuniak Springs be a point of pride? And so this is the charge to our newly-elected Coun- cil members. In 30 years, will DeFuniak Springs be a ghost-town-the perfect nursing-home community to count away the seconds, or will it be a lively town bus- tling with commerce and ac- tivity? A place where young families want to make their homes as it offers modern conveniences and still main- tains a small-town feel be- cause the people who were born and raised here loved it and stayed? What do you say?

PAGE 12-A THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, APRIL 21,2011 People Places THESE BEAUTIFUL HEADS of lettuce were all sold as of noon this past Friday. Shoppers had the chance to pur- chase farm fresh vegetables at the grand opening of the new farmers market in DeFuniak Springs. DEE SOUTH CUTS THE grand opening ribbon this past Friday for the new farmer's market open on Fridays in down- town DeFuniak. By ALICIA LEONARD Shoppers might have stumbled upon a new market this past Friday (April 15) as the Southebys Antiques building hosted their new Farmer's Market. Farmers and craftsmen set up tables and shared their wares and homegrown goodness to anyone who stopped in to see what all the fuss was about. Honey, fresh vegeta- bles, fruit, heirloom seeds, jewelry, hand-sewn crafts and fresh eggs, were just a few of the items that filled tables in the early hours, but by noon, when it was time to cut the grand open- ing ribbon, many of those items had been purchased, with shoppers inquiring about when the farmers and craftsmen would be return- ing. Ellen Mayfield catered a grand opening and lunch- time spread to die for with flowers, finger .foods, des- serts and champagne for all the guests. Owner Dee South was pleasantly impressed and pleased with the first day of the new market. "We had a great turnout. Many peo- ple stopped by and offered words of encouragement and luck to me and this ven- ture, while picking up some fresh food for their family dinners." South said she was en- couraged to try the farmer's market idea from trips she took with her mother to the market in South America, where she was born. "Go- ing to the market was an event every Saturday. You shopped, got to see and try new things and visited with friends and made new ones. There's something about be- ing able to speak with the person who tended the hens whose eggs you might pur- chase or asking the farmers how they grow their vegeta- bles. It adds something to understand where and how your food gets to your table. I wanted to try and share that experience with friends and family here. I wanted to provide that kind of venue for people to shop and visit here. " The new market will be open on Fridays from 8 a.m. until noon or a little later. South originally wanted to be open on Saturdays as well, but is having a harder time finding vendors that do not travel south or into Okaloosa to work more es- tablished farmer's markets. The market is open for all growers and those who en- joy making crafts. "We are looking for any- one who gardens, home cans foods, makes crafts or sews. Soaps, seeds, jewelry, plants, eggs, you name it. I would encourage anyone who has a garden or who want to sell their crafts or items to contact me. You don't have to be a farmer full time, if you have more than you need and want to make a little extra every week, contact me and join us. And if you are looking for fresh foods and homemade items, come.see us. We'd love to see you," South said. To contact South about vending opportunities call 892-6292 or 419-9286. Shop- pers can find the Southebys Antiques building off of Baldwin Avenue, across the street from the Century Link building, next to the Doctors Medical Center building.

By ASHLEYAMASON Murder Can Be Habit Forming, presented by the Florida Chautauqua The- atre April 15, 16, and 17, showcased a group of lo- cal young actors with more talent than the stage could hold. Billy St. John's play fol- lows a stranded group of Greyhound travelers, a wise-cracking bus driver, a cop in disguise and four nuns who host the weary and frightened group at St. Mary's convent in upstate New York on a night when The Mary Murderer is on the prowl. Reverend Mother Mary Cecilia, played by Susannah Wright, keeps the faith by reminding her three sisters "The Lord works in myste- rious ways." On this night, the sisters learn the Moth- er's motto is truer than ever when two other Marys from the Greyhound bus show up, giving The Mary Murderer five options for his victim. Each man is a suspect, according to Officer Patrick McDougal, played by Bran- don Elkins with all the deb- onair charm and stage mas- tery of a young Humphrey Bogart. Elkins' presence and projection brings a jarring authenticity to the stage as he reminds Herman, the lovable but abrasive main- tenance man played to the hilt by Patrick Cooper that he will keep his eye on him. When a masked prowler stumbles upon former sister and teacher Laura Evans, masterfully acted by Mary Beth Majors who took on a role 30-plus years her age, a tangible fear grips the con- vent. Spirits are lightened by the show-stealing antics of forgetful Sister Mary Ag- atha brought to life by Cal- lie Godwin, who randomly bursts into Christmas carols and mistakes decaf coffee for coffee made from calves. Even Godwin's perfor- mance can't lighten the mood after the first victim is found dead. But why would The Mary Murderer kill New York Times writer Jerome Stacy, a middle-aged man played by Cory Godwin? Godwin gives an extraordi- nary performance as secret- ridden Stacy, complete with accent and affliction. Mary Bishop, played by Jade Wilder, becomes en- snared when The Mary Murderer abducts her not once but twice. Alive, she wakes to a nightmare learn- ing her boyfriend Ryan, acted by LaRae Peters, has mysteriously appeared at the convent and is now sus- pect number one.

SAlthough Wilder shares her heartfelt concern for Pe- ters with the audience, her onstage spat is as dead-on as any argument two people could have behind closed doors. Ryan can barely es- cape Mary's interrogation and fury, whereas the au- dience couldn't escape the voyeuristic feeling of watch- ing a couple arguing in their home. With a murder, an ab- duction, and a room full of Marys, the remaining men, rock star Torch (Josh Mc- Combs), bus driver Willard Patterson (Daniel News- ome), and Professor David Lewis (Chance Byrd) search the house, while Sister Mary Martin (Maddy Jones) and Sister Mary Thomas (Alyssa Padgett) deal with narcissistic actress Erica Kincaid, played by Caroline Gillis. Countering the like- able humor of Sister Mary Agatha, Gillis provides co- medic relief through her character's obnoxious tan- trums, dress-up obsession, THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, APRIL 21,2011 r-I k--- and driving need to write an autobiography, even if it means examining a dead body. Unlike Kincaid's catch phrase that things are "just awful," Gillis's performance is anything but. Wilder takes center stage when a cat and mouse game is set in motion to capture The Mary Murderer. With one Mary left, is Mary Ad- ams played by Shelci Roe- hm, really a Mary or some- thing else? As the curtain nears a close, the lights fall on re- united couple, Wilder and Peters. Peters fears the mur- derer has cut the electricity, but Wilder knows the sisters are probably giving them a little alone time in the dark, after all "The Lord works in mysterious ways!" With magnificent lo- cal talent, plot twists, and enough humor to warrant 100 Hail Marys, it turns out attending The Florida Chautauqua Theatre can be equally as habit-forming as murder. -'- .--A-c '. -, . ,- -'- , .. -. - " ..---- - 9- ..- .-,h '' Happy, Happy 16th Birthday .- ' I , to Caroline and Laura Gillis!

Dear Auntie Em, Dear Auntie Em, I thought twice about writing you, but I am at a dead end in my search for help. You see, I find myself no longer able to find plea- sure in my everyday life. Everything seems gray, and I feel tired all the time and can't find the energy to enjoy even the little things that used to make me happy, like gardening and painting. All three of my children are grown and out of the house. My husband works long hours and is away from home much of the time. I used to volunteer a lot, but have a hard time get- ting dressed. Every since I turned 50, it's like a little light inside of me went out. I've gone to my doctor, but just for a check-up. I did not tell him how I felt emotion- ally. My test results came back that my hormones were low and nothing else really showed up according to my doctor. He said it was a fact of life and did not offer me any treatment. I was raised by a family that frowned on peo- ple that might have mental issues and I have a hard time discussing it. Some days it is all I can muster to get out of bed and then, there are days I just don't get out of the bed at all. It took a lot for me to compose this email. Any ad- vice you can share would be appreciated. Down in DeFuniak Dear Down, Midlife seems to be the magic age for women and men to reassess their life, and not always in a way we think. Sometimes our body tells us something is wrong and our mind will follow. Midlife is also a time when hormones change and our brains change along with them. I am not a doctor, and this is not a medical opinion, just the opinion of a woman who has the been there, done that, and has the T-shirt, so, I will share what I can. When our hormones are low it is hard for our minds to get the feel-good chemi- cals they need to keep us in the right frame of mind. Low hormones can also cause fa- tigue, feelings of hopeless- ness, and in some ways, almost remove the color in the life around you. I spent a few gray months myself, before I found a doctor to explain it all to me. Often what we think might possi- bly be mental, is actually a response to what is going on with our body as it changes for the next phase in life. Often as we age, other sys- tems in our body slow down, such as our thyroid or adre- nal glands and makes stress even more stressful, and harder to get back to feeling good. The best advice I can give you is to do your own research, there are a lot of good books out there on menopause, hormone issues and depression. Ask your doctor for the copies of your lab work and seek out a doc- tor that specializes in treat- ments for women, hormonal issues and thyroid testing. They are often found under the specialty of anti-aging in the Yellow Pages. We even have a few in our area, and one has helped me through one of the grayer times in my life. Then, don't be afraid to tell them what is going on with you. It is the only way to get better. I would also advise a little sunshine. It's the perfect weather to get some vitamin D. Bottom line, don't stop searching until you get help. You may go through three or four doctors before you find the right one. You, your kids and your family are Worth it and the answers to keeping things in balance are often more than just a pill you take and the most experi- enced doctor can teach you that. God bless and good luck. Auntie Em Send your letters and emails to Auntie Em to df- sherald@gmail.com or to P.O.

(Photo by Jef- frey Powell) Well Fed with Ashley Amason: Trigo is fantastic When my husband, son and I stopped at Trigo in downtown Panama City for lunch, I had no intention of writing a food review. Halfway through the meal and chatting with owner/ chef Gilbert Hamati, and I couldn't talk myself out of it. A few blocks north of the marina, Trigo, a San Fran- cisco style Deli has a gor- geous red-brick facade, lined with cast iron bistro tables. In the large glass windows are photographs of gour- met sandwiches and soups, which upon first glance con- vinced us to dine there. Originally from Lebanon and a former resident of San Francisco for 15 years, Hamati said he "made a wrong turn" and ended up in Panama City. Lucky for locals, Trigo, which means wheat in Spanish, boasts freshly baked breads, an array of breakfast options, homemade pasta salads and sandwiches, fresh tabou- leh and San Francisco style pizza (available after 4 p.m.) among other delicacies (I highly recommend a meal here begin and end with a chocolate chip cookie). Open for only four months, Hamati said this particular day had been the busiest since its opening. Word of mouth led to sever- al catering jobs, and a mad lunch rush meant half the menu was unavailable for the rest of the day. Since we missed out on the Golden Gate sandwich and Gilbert's signature sandwich with garlic sauce, I chose the chicken salad sandwich and my husband ordered the tuna pasta salad. The chicken salad is simply delicious-simple in that it is lightly seasoned chicken,, mayonnaise, and celery. That's it, on a deli- cious sourdough roll (this from someone who doesn't like sourdough), which Hamati has shipped from San Francisco. The tuna pasta salad was a beauti- ful presentation-penne and tuna lightly tossed in a blend of herbs and spices. In fact, everything at Trigo is beautiful, from the master- fully crafted table bases, the hanging lights, the exposed brick, even the painted sink in the restroom. After our meal, the quiche, croissants, and cook- ies looked too good to resist, so we ordered a bacon and potato quiche and chocolate chip cookie-a fine combina- tion indeed. The potatoes were warm and tender, goo- ey with cheese, and sprin- kled with bacon in a pastry crust. Divine! The chocolate chip cookie was just as heav- enly- thick, chewy and bursting with chips (guess which part of the meal was my son's favorite). Just thinking of our meal at Trigo makes me giddy and hungry. The only down- side of this new addition to Harrison Avenue is how far it is for a DeFuniak lo- cal. Believe me, though, it's worth the drive! Of course, if Hamati wants to open a second location, Trigo would be the perfect addition to downtown DeFuniak, and I'd be the first in line. Contact Ashley Amason at aeamason@gmail.com TRIGO'S GOURMET SANDWICHES are made on sour- dough rolls shipped from San Francisco, and the tuna pasta salad is made fresh daily. *** COMMUNITY CALENDAR *** COMMUNITY CALENDAR *** THE WALTON HIGH SCHOOL classes of 1965-1967 are with any questions. $15/person.

April 16, 2011 in the Chautuaqua Rehabilitation and Nursing Center. He was born April 1, 1934 in Marion, S.C. Mr. Davis was a resident of Walton County, Florida. He was Baptist by faith and a member of the Union Springs Baptist Church. He worked with the Walton County School District and for the Freeport Lumber Company. He enjoyed fish- ing, gardening and going My family possesses a noticeable lack of creativity. At least it seems that way; because every time we gath- er for a reunion, a holiday dinner, or what have you - we always tell the same old family stories. I can recite them from memory. There is the yarn about my granddaddy shooting up White's Pool Hall one night, drunk as a wheelbar- row. Or the time my eighty- plus grandmother fearlessly pulled a snake barehanded out of the plumbing of my aunt's house. And then my favorite: Uncle Lamar, the Baptist preacher, couldn't get his tractor started on one par- ticularly cold morning. He cursed and kicked it, losing all resemblance of his re- ligion. He awoke the next morning to find that his tractor had slipped out of gear, rolled down the hill, and into the catfish pond. His sermon the following Sunday was a beautiful dis- course on divine retribution for losing one's temper. Of course, one of my own experiences has been added to the family litany and I must endure its retelling at least annually. I was only eight years old and spend- ing a week with an aunt and uncle. Above their little home, resting quietly on the hillside, was a massive rock, pushed there by bulldozers building a new road. This behemoth was the size of a couple of Volkswagen Vana- gons. We were sitting on the porch and my uncle said casually, "Sure hope that rock never rolls down the hill. Why, it would roll right through the house and kill us all." I didn't sleep a wink the rest of my stay. I was filled with the blub- bering terror that we would all be crushed in our sleep as this malicious rock un- hinged itself from its rest- ing place. The headlines the next day would recount the tragic story of a man and woman squashed to death in their bed. The real heartbreak would be the demise of their innocent nephew who was only visiting for a few days. After two sleepless nights my uncle cut my stay off early and drove me home in a blowing snow storm. It was the only way any of us were going to get any sleep. Crippling fears. High anxi- ety. Sleepless nights. Roll- ing rocks. It sounds a lot like Easter morning. The Gospel tells the old story of a group of women walking to Jesus' tomb early that Sunday to church. He also enjoyed playing dominos and danc- ing. Mr. Davis is survived by his wife, Maria E. Davis; two sons,. Larry Davis and Richard Lee Curry; one daughter, Brenda Lee; three brothers, Carlye Davis, James Davis Jr. and Theo- dore Davis and t;,o sisters, Savannah and Katherine Davis. He is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and a host of friends. Memorial services will be held at 2 p.m., Thursday, April 21, 2011 at Friendship House Gardens 353 Juni- per Lake Road, DeFuniak Springs, FL 32433 with Dr. Bobby Tucker. and Rev.

These ladies were crushed with grief, sleepless since the crucifixion of their Lord. As their feet shuffle to- ward the grave side, they have every intention of anointing the hastily buried body of Jesus. There is only one problem: A rock the size of a couple of Volkswagen Vanagons covered the en- trance. They wonder aloud to each other, "How will we get to Jesus' body?" "How can we pay our respects and em- balm him properly?" And then they ask the supreme question of Easter Sunday morning "Who will roll away the stone?" The rock, placed over those ancient tombs to keep grave robbers and animals off the corpse, weighed tons. A cohort of soldiers guarding the site only complicated matters further. We will all ask that ques- tion at some point. Who will do for us what we cannot do ourselves? Who will roll away the stone? The stone of death. The stone of sepa- ration from our loved ones. The stone of fear and dread. The stone of dashed hopes and unfinished lives. The stone of finality that is too heavy to move. We know of course that upon their arrival to the tomb, these dear ladies found the stone already rolled away. Jesus had tak- en up his life again, break- ing through the power of death, paving a highway to the kingdom of God. No stone could possibly keep him in the grave. No cruci- fixion could rob him of life. No Roman governor was powerful enough to keep him held down. No amount of injustice would be allowed to prevail over this perfectly lived life. Who will roll away the stone? Jesus already has. Now that's a family story worth repeating. Ronnie McBrayer is the author of "Leaving Religion, Following Jesus."

The Numbness Of Unbe- lief * Two men were walking down the Emmaus road: seven miles away from Je- rusalem. It was the saddest day of their life. * This sadness represented all of the followers of Jesus. They and the disciples had one thing on their mind "he was gone-what now?." * Their vision was stag- gered, they spoke through tear-filled eyes, unable to see, who was walking with them that day. * What are you looking for today as you join Christ on the Emmaus road? The two transition verses (vv. 16, 31), illustrate how ineffec- tive the Resurrection is un- til one has realized intimacy with the risen Christ. * There are two sides of the Emmaus story told in Dr. Luke's gospel. Both exam- ples represent each person here today. The Dark Side * Can you imagine walking next to the President and not recognizing him? Or The Pope, or John Wayne? Yet these two men walked next to Deity without realizing it. * What were the facts sur- rounding this event? What caused them to be in the very presence of the resurrection and life, and not know it? * History had been ripped to shreds-Jesus was alive. He did something that no other human being ever did. * Is it possible for some- one to enter the sanctuary of and not recognize Him? Is it any different for them not to recognize Jesus who was walking next to them, and us leaving the pres- ence of Christ-grumbling that we didn't feel blessed? These men were blinded by despair * Keep praising the Lord, though the sky above is gray, keep praising the Lord, for the answers on the way, do not despair, God in heaven answers prayer, if you will endure, the bless- ings are sure-keep prais- ing the Lord!!! * They were not looking for Him. Heb. 9.28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. * We can be so preoccupied with things of this life and forget to look unto Jesus who is the author and fin- isher of our faith? * Luke 24:21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Isra- el: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. * Christ's crucifixion became fatal and final to them. It is amazing what just 24 hours can do to any situation-are you a fixer? They were victims of un- belief. Like them, we can know what to expect when we come to church, yet walk away just as empty as they were. Is God able to fulfill His promises? The only way to revive some people is to shock them Jesus rebuked them-listen Luke 24:25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Luke 24:26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? Luke 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. What are some signs of a slow heart? * The prophets made it clear all things about Jesus. Christ had to be glorified to assure us of His glory and presence. Luke 24:17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? Their faith was in the past tense Luke 24:21 But we trusted (hoped) that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. Luke 24:22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us as- tonished, which were early at the sepulcher; Luke 24:23 And when they found not his body, they came, say- ing, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. Luke 24:24 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulcher, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. He failed to keep His prom- ises. The Happy Ending Now, as Paul Harvey says, the rest of the story. There is a happy ending to this gloomy story. "Their eyes were opened" (v.31). They recognized Jesus. This revelational knowledge had its beginning with the Word of God Luke 24:27 And beginning at Mo- ses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. * The word of God was ex- pounded unto the two men Luke 24:32 And they said one to another, did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? * The burning inspiration of scripture changed their hearts. The inward glow of the embers of devotion had grown to outward propor- tions. Luke 24:33 And they rose up the same hour, and re- turned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, Luke 24:34 Saying, the Lord is risen in- deed, and hath appeared to Simon. Luke 24:30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. Luke 24:31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. What a change there was in the lives of two despondent men. They arose, returned and found. If you will notice the ending of the chapter Luke 24:49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. Luke 24:50 And he led them out as far as to Beth- any, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. Luke 24:51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. Luke '24:52 And they wor- shipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: Luke 24:53 And were contin- ually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen. Luke 24:34 Saying, the Lord is risen indeed, and hath ap- peared to Simon. Power always follows res- urrection!

THURSDAY. APRIL 21.2011 Sports PAGE 9-B South Walton Takes Softball Title 12B Walton overcomes errors to beat Seahawks 9-4 By REID TUCKER With a 9-4 victory over South Walton, Walton's baseball team went unde- feated against all its county opponents for the first time in coach Rick Dixon's three years with the program, a momentous occasion by any measure. However, in spite of the game's outcome, Dixon felt the Braves got the win in spite of themselves. Walton (11-9) committed five errors and had several miscues on offense and de- fense in the contest, played Thursday, April 14, at South Walton. Mental mistakes, the ones that don't get scored, resulted in a much closer game through the middle innings than Dixon wanted. He was happy to have a win but he expressed a very real concern for Wal- ton's chances to make a run in the district tournament considering how the team performed against the Sea- hawks (13-9). "It was kind of a mile- stone win for us but I'm not finding a lot to be sat- isfied with," Dixon said. "I thought it was one of our worst games in our recent history. We did a lousy job at the plate, we weren't heads-up defensively, we made mental and physical mistakes and our base run- ning was atrocious. I let [the team] know that if we play like that against Catholic, we'll get mercy-ruled." Both teams struggled to convert base hits to runs through the first two in- nings, but the Braves had their best chance yet in the top of three after Kyle Clark reached on a double to score. Angus Anderson got a double for himself, bringing Chris Kelly, while Brandon Hollingsworth was hit by the pitcher to put runners on second and third with the scoreboard showing 2-0 Walton. Things got dicey when the runners advanced a base each. Dixon made a call for Anderson to run for home, forcing the play at the plate just as Brendan Leach made contact with the ball, but Anderson didn't go all the way and was caught in a rundown that ended with him being tagged back at third base. Hollingsworth tried to run back to second but was thrown out in the confusion. Walton managed to score twice more after the near-debacle, making the score 4-0. South Walton got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the fourth and nearly tied the game in the process. Alex Astin lead the charge as four of his teammates reached, scoring two other runs. Despite showing signs of contending for the lead, the Seahawks were halted as the Braves managed to salvage the inning with a double play. It was Walton's turn to take advantage of defensive errors in the following in- nings, as the Braves made use of a hit batter and two singles to load the bases in the fifth. An overthrown out attempt at the plate coupled with a sac out from Brennon Orcutt scored two more run- ners. The score would stay at 6-3 until the top of the seventh inning, when the Braves, with two outs, add- ed three more runs thanks once again to having a bat- ter hit by the pitcher and some infield mistakes by South Walton. The Seahawks scored one more run of their own as the Braves' pitcher, Leach, loaded the bases on walks after striking out the first two batters in order. Astin made it home when Walton catcher Liam Miller missed a pitch, but it ultimately proved too little too late as Anderson relieved a tired Leach at the plate to close out the game. South Walton coach Nick Borthwick was equally as perturbed as Dixon was ~~aa~uinrqrsnL 1 7, with the performance in the game. He laid the blame for the loss on failing to secure timely outs, which in turn prevented the Seahawks from gaining much momen- tum in the bottom of each inning when it came time to bat. "We didn't get many ex- tra chances because of the errors," Borthwick said. "We've got to make those outs count if we want a chance to beat a good team like [Walton]. We've got to do a better job of not shoot- ing ourselves in the foot. We need to make outs outs and play better defense." While both teams had their share of miscues, they also both had a smatter- ing of good hits. In fact, the Braves and the Seahawks were almost in a dead heat at the plate, with the for- mer accounting for 10 and the latter just one fewer. The best offensive weapons of the evening were Leach, who scored three runs, and Zach Burgess, who had two singles in three at-bats for the Braves, while Astin scored two runs and Henke had a two-run double for the Seahawks. However, the numbers that really made the dif- ference were made on the pitcher's mound, as Walton's Leach struck out 11 batters, more than twice as many as Henke, in 6 2/3 innings. The only real praise Dixon had for his team was regard- ing Leach's performance in his second pitching victory over South Walton, which he called "the game's saving grace. "My team should do bet- ter than this," Dixon said. "They shouldn't make the crazy mental mistakes, not after three years. I'm happy for the win and I'm happy for the kids and I'm happy for Brendan, I think he did an excellent job, but there's just not much else positive I can say about the game." SOUTH WALTON'S BATTERS actually got one more hit than did Walton, at 10, but failed to convert despite sev- eral good looks and near-tie in the fourth inning.

(Photo courtesy Cindy Clark) Ponce de Leon hangs on to lead and holds off Bozeman for 8-6 win By REID TUCKER , Ponce de Leon's Lady Pi- rates narrowly avoided a re- surging Bozeman comeback in the top of the seventh to hang on to a close 8-6 win at home. Though the Bucks had the lead early in the game, played Wednesday, April 13, it quickly became a running game through the first four innings as Ponce de Leon regained ground to make it 4-3 in the fifth. The Lady Pi- rates came out strong on the plate that inning, scoring four times to put them sol- idly in the black. It looked as though they would hold on to the five-run spread to cruise through the rest of the game but Bozeman capi- talized on some fielding er- rors to score three runs be- fore Ponce stopped the rally, ending the game 8-6. The Lady Pirates held the advantage through the middle innings but they did it without many hits, as their batters only accounted for six hits on the evening. Even so, four of those hits came from Holly Parsons, who went 2-for-3 with a double and a triple and two RBIs, both of which brought around pitcher Marissa Powell, who scored three of Ponce's runs. Harrison also went 2-for-3 with a single and a double, the former of which was also an RBI. Ponce de Leon coach Tim Al- ford said his girls looked bet- ter at the plate in many of their past games but he was pleased they came together to put runs on the board when it counted most. "We had some opportuni- ties early in the game that didn't materialize, but we got some timely hits and had some good at-bats after that," Alford said. The Bucks' performance at the plate wasn't much better, as their sole stand- out was Becca Hall, who went 2-for-3 on reached for two runs. All told, Bozeman had seven hits following the first inning's scoring run. Bozeman struck again midway through the order in the second inning, using a Courtney Barwick double to score another run. Powell gave up two more hits be- fore Bozeman's batters were retired. Ponce fired back in the ensuing at-bat by capi- talizing on a routine throw- ing error to move Powell to first. Parsons then mounted the plate and drilled out a triple, bringing Powell around and making it a 2-1 ballgame. The Bucks added another run in the third on a PDL error and a sac fly but the Lady Pirates didn't let them enjoy the two-run lead for long. Sha-Lea Yates was walked to first and Kaitlyn Carroll laid down a sacrifice bunt to move her into scor- ing position, which she did following a failed attempt to throw her out rounding third. Powell got her double to drive the tying run, which Parsons followed with yet another double, bringing Powell home for a 4-3 PDL lead. The one-run deficit was the status quo until the bottom of the fifth, which proved to be Bozeman's cost- liest inning of the game. The Bucks committed two errors and PDL loaded the bases on three occasions thanks to clutch hits and a dead ball, which quickly added up as the Lady Pirates scored four more times before the end of the inning. Now boasting an 8-3 lead, the Lady Pirates cruised through the next two in- nings but nearly let Boze- man back into the game in the seventh. Kinsley Faulk- enberry got one first thanks to a PDL error behind the plate and then scored when a routine out in centerfield resulted in yet another er- ror. A nice single and one fi- nal infield throwing error at first base enabled Hall and team mate Ashley Davis to make the score 8-6. Howev- er, the Bucks' late-game run was cut short when Barwick blooped up an easy third out, giving Ponce de Leon the narrow win. Bozeman coach Loren Tillman said his team could have easily pulled out a win based on its performance in the final inning, but he con- ceded that there were too many errors, physical and mental made on his team's part, which gave PDL the edge. "We probably needed to do a little more throughout the course of the game in- stead of having to try getting five runs in the seventh," Tillman said. "We fought our way back but it was too late." The Lady Pirates didn't get much rest before head- ing into Monday's district tournament game against Freeport. With non-district opponents scheduled for the following two days after the victory over Bozeman, Al- ford said more game-time is actually going to be ben- eficial if the team wants to make a run to the playoffs. He figured that, even though Ponce is.11-3 in the past 14 games, a little more live ex- perience never hurt. "At this time we feel like it's better to play than just practice," Alford said. iLt" '..6~- MARISSA POWELL, Ponce's ninth-grade pitcher, struck out only three Bozeman batters, but did an exemplary job at the plate, where she went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI single.

PAGE 10-B THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, APRIL 21,2011 Michael Smith earns trip to national fishing tournament Local angler Michael Smith of Paxton has earned a trip to the 2011 B.A.S.S. Federation Nation National Championship Tournament this fall. He had an excit- ing week April 13-15 at Bar- ren River Lake, Lucas, Ky. when he placed first on the Florida team consisting of 14 anglers and placed 13th overall in the 2011 B.A.S.S. Federation Nation South- ern Division Championship Tournament. Smith com- peted against 98 anglers and co-anglers from seven southern states. Smith's 24 pounds 4 ounces total weight over the three-day tournament was impressive for the 20-year- old co-angler, who was the youngest competitor on the Florida team. He consis- tently weighed in fish each day. He had an 8 pounds 1 ounce catch on the first day. He caught his largest bass on the first day with a weight of 5 pounds 10 ounces. On the second day Smith had a 6 pounds 14 ounces catch. On the third and last day of the tournament Smith came in with his largest weight of the tournament-9 pounds 5 ounces. As the final few anglers weighed in Smith dropped from 10th to 13th place overall in the tourna- ment. In the end, Smith edged out his closest Florida team member by 15 ounces to win the honor to represent the state of Florida at the Na- tionals to be held later this year. There were 14 Florida team members. Smith clinched a berth at the Divisional Champion- ship Tournament by placing fourth in the co-angler divi- sion of the Florida B.A.S.S, Federation State Champion- ship at the St. John's River in Palatka, Fla. This is Smith's fourth year as a member of the Hub City Bass Masters of Crest- view. Smith is the son of Hinton and Barbara Smith and grandson of Geraldine Ballard of Paxton, Fla. He is currently a sophomore at Northwest Florida State College in Niceville. MICHAEL SMITH OF PAXTON is on his way to a national bass-fishing tour- nament.

The Bonifay squad never trailed in the contest and scored single runs in each of their last four innings at the plate to pull away for the win. Left-handed pitcher Will Thompson was not as sharp as he was in the first meeting between the two teams, but he went the dis- tance, throwing 114 pitches in earning the win as the Seahawks clawed out eight hits in the contest. South Walton catcher Ty- ler Townson doubled in the first inning and scored on Astin's single to cut the lead to 2-1. That was as close as the Seahawks would get un- til five singles in the bottom of the seventh inning would plate a run to cut the mar- gin to 6-2. Jansen Infinger came to the plate as the ty- ing run with the Seahawks down to their last out but hit a grounder that was fielded by Bluedevils third baseman Cory Wilson for the final out of the game. Long had three hits in the contest for the visiting team while Jordan Wor- thing added three hits of his own. Zach Nolin provided a home run but was called out after failing to tag first base on his trip around the bases. Chase Arnold scored on the play after drawing a walk but Nolin's error cost his team a run as they in- creased-the lead to 4-1 in the fourth inning. Astin pitched five innings while giving up eight hits with Tanner DeGafferelly coming in to record the final six outs of the contest for the Seahawks. Thompson pitched Holm- es County to a 4-1 win over South Walton on March 22 in Bonifay. South Walton closed out the week with a 9-4 home loss to Walton before win- ning their final district game of the regular season with a 4-0 win over Graceville on Friday night. Senior Mitch- ell Peterson picked up the win as he allowed only five hits with one walk while striking out 11 batters. Pe- terson also contributed a home run in the win. The South Walton base- ball team is 14-9 overall and 9-5 in district play on the year. The Seahawks will close out the regular season with a home game against Freeport on Thursday at 5 p.m. South Walton will play the first game of the Dis- trict 2, Class 2A baseball tournament held in Vernon on Monday when they face the host Yellowjackets at 10 a.m. ALEXASTIN(14) had two hits and drove in a run despite taking the loss on the mound against Holmes County.

By REID TUCKER Walton's softball team just about had the game locked down by the fifth in- ning against Laurel Hill: hot pitching and solid bat- ting had already given way to a four-oh Braves lead, an easy pick-off play at first was in the works thanks to an overzealous base runner and one out was already in the bag. However, the game was far from wrapped up, as, several fielding miscues later, the Lady Hoboes (5-9) had scored five runs, evapo- rating Walton's four-run lead. Suddenly, the Lady Braves (7-12) found them- selves forced into a come- back ballgame with just two innings to work with. Fortu- nately for Walton, the tables turned once again and a solid three-hit at-bat in the bottom of six added the two runs needed to pull out a 6-5 win at home. Integral to Wal- ton's win on Tuesday, April 12, was freshman pitcher Camille Cosson. Her nine strikeouts (five of which came in the first three in- nings) helped keep Laurel Hill scoreless through the fifth inning and closed out the Lady Hoboes once the Lady Braves were back in the lead. Cosson is on a bit of a roll lately, as she struck out a school-record-tying 17 batters in a contest against Rocky Bayou just days pri- or to the win over Laurel Hill and as such, she got no shortage of praise from Wal- ton coach Stan Bosenberg. "Camille is playing really confident right now after that victory on Friday where she had 17 ks," Bosenberg said. "She is just overpow- ering on the mound right now." Walton jumped to an early one-run lead right from the top of the lineup as Shelbie Standland crushed one to make it around for a score in the first inning. Af- ter that, things were more or less quiet until the bot- tom of the third, when the Lady Braves got four hits (of their eight total) in a row off of Laurel Hill's Kasey Har- rison. Walton scored three times in the inning, as the next batters, Alex Hender- son and Raven Motley, were hit by the ball and walked, respectively, which cycled in Cosson and Chelsea Hurley for two more runs while' Gil- lian Infinger reached first and brought around Kaylyn Douglass. Laurel Hill, however, was not down for the count, despite being put down in order in their next at-bat. Harrison gave up just one hit in the Braves' next turn at the plate and she and the infield combined to retire the Braves before any further blood could be drawn.

Walton struggled through the remainder of the fifth, leaving runners on first and second, before get- ting a hit out of Standland and Treasa Herndon with one out in the bottom of the sixth inning. An error on Laurel Hill's center fielder allowed Standland to score the tying run and, with two outs on the board, a hit from Henderson drove in Hern- don to give Walton the lead going into the final inning. The Lady Hoboes got a hit from Brittany Baggett to start off the seventh but the next three batters were re- tired in order by the Braves infielders and a final strike- out from Cosson to give Wal- ton the win at 6-5. Laurel Hill coach Scott Varnum commended his players' efforts, espe- cially at the plate in their towering five-run fifth in- ning, and wrote the loss off as "just one of those things." He said his ballclub has steadily improved its batting after falling on doldrums in the midseason. That resur- gence of aggressive work at the plate, he said, will pay dividends come the district tournament a week later. "Our big thing was not to come out flat," Varnum said. "We didn't want to look at third strikes. We've have some really tight games [at Walton] in the last four or five years that have gone down to the seventh inning. We just want to take this and move forward into our next game." Walton's top hit- ters were Herndon, who went 2-for-4 with two RBIs, and Henderson, who also had two RBIs plus a single in three appearances at the plate.

Sha-Lea Yates of Ponce de Leon High School scored 18 points for the East squad but the West prevailed with a 62-53 win in the Freedom All-Star Classic played in Panama City at Gulf Coast Community Col- lege on Saturday. Krysten Cuchens helped the West squad capture the win as the Paxton High School ath- lete scored 14 points in the game. The West squad won their fourth in a row with Freeport's Dannica Mosher scoring seven points while South Walton's Sam Snider scored five points. Walton's Lynn Paulk had two points. PDL senior Hillary Harper scored 11 points for the East squad. Shaq Jackson scored 19 points for the West but the East squad prevailed with a 114-99 victory in the boys contest of the 2011 Freedom All-Star Classic.

Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic is the recipi- ent of the 2010-11 Kia NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award, the NBA announced onMonday. Howardbecomes the first player to earn the honor three straight sea- sons; only Dikembe Mutom- bo and Ben Wallace, with four each, have won the Paxton Lady Cats fall to Rocky Bayou in first round of district tournament By REID TUCKER Eight errors ate the Lady Cats alive in the first round of the District 1-A softball tournament, as Rocky Bay- ou Christian came away with the 7-4 win. Paxton (4-15), the de- fending district champs, defeated the Knights twice during the regular season but the adage about it being tough to beat a team three times rang true on the night of Monday, April 18. While the defining characteristic of the game was the fielding errors committed by Paxton, Rocky Bayou (8-9) never- theless posted some decent numbers. The Knights' bat- ters got 11 hits off Paxton pitcher Kappi Stewart and their pitcher, Sam Holcomb, struck out seven of the Lady Cats' batters and walked two but gave up seven hits. Katie Kaim went 3-for-4 and scored two runs for the Knights, while her team- mates Hannah Peters, Ra- chel Mosley and Katie Bern- heisel batted .500 and the latter two both scored runs. Brianna Owns scored two runs for Paxton and Lauren Pool reached on an single and a double, scoring a run in the process. Though four of Rocky Bayou's seven runs were unearned, Stewart failed to strike out any of her oppo- nents and walked three bat- ters. Paxton assistant coach Steve Williams summed up the game as the result of a tough season. "We didn't get timely hits when we needed to and [Rocky Bayou] did," Wil- liams said. "They hit the ball in places we weren't. It's just been a long, hard year." In spite of the outcome, Paxton showed promise early, accounting for three hits and scoring two runs four batters into the rota- tion at the top of the first in- ning. However, the Knights got three hits and a run of their own quickly enough, as Kaim rounded third on back-to-back Paxton er- rors. Rocky Bayou loaded the bases in the next at-bat and another Paxton error enabled Bernheisel to score the tying run. The 2-all stalemate held until the bottom of the fourth, when two more Pax- ton errors and a walk once again loaded the bases. A fly ball into left field was caught and the Lady Cats turned a play at third to keep run- ners from advancing but not in time to prevent Hannah Barber and Kaim from mak- ing the score 4-2 in Rocky's favor. The Knights added an- other three runs in a disas- trous fifth inning where a foul ball down the third base line was "pushed fair" by Chelsea Kemp for another error, which moved Rachel Mosley into scoring position at second. Another error on Kemp allowed Mosley to streak home. Rocky's bat- ters, reached on three more hits, bringing in two more runners. Paxton would never re- cover from the damage done in the fifth, but in the sev- enth inning Brianna Ow- ens took advantage of a ball dropped between Holcomb and first base to steal third. Pool then drilled a hit into deep left for an RBI single, sending Holcomb home. Paxton put runners on first and second a walk later and an RBI single from Shelby Oglesby allowed Pool to cross the plate, but a quick strikeout and a blooper later 908 U S.

The Lady Cats gradu- ate four seniors (Stewart, Kemp, Sarah Cain and Jes- sie Oglesby), all of whom play crucial positions. Wil- liams said last year was a different story, with all ma- jor positions remaining un- -changed from the previous season, when Paxton won the district title. He said the Cats never regained their rhythm after some losses early in the season. "Sometimes when things go bad it's hard to stop," Williams said. "If there's one pebble on the ground it seems like the ball will hit it and take a bad bounce if we're in the field or if we hit the ball we hit it right to someone. You can call it karma or whatever. The softball gods just weren't on our side."

Seahawks freshman pitcher Meagan Ellison picked up the win as she lim- ited the Braves to three hits and one earned run while striking out seven batters. The Seahawks took a 4-0 lead in the first inning as five singles and some field- ing errors by Walton al- lowed South Walton breath- ing room early. Walton cut the lead to 5-1 in the bottom of the third inning as Treasa Herndon singled in Shelbie Standland for the only run the Braves would score in the contest. South Walton blew the game open in their last at- bat of the night as nine consecutive hitters reached base before the Braves threw out a Seahawks runner at home plate for the first out of the inning. South Walton totaled 14 hits in the con- test with Caitlin Holliday pounding out four hits with Megan MacLeod providing three singles and two RBIs. South Walton got to the championship game after defeating Freeport 10-0 in the second win in three meetings for the Seahawks. South Walton plated two runs in the bottom of the first inning with the help of a Megan MacLeod double, followed by a Meagan Elli- son single and an error. The Seahawks blew the game open with five runs in the third inning as Cait- lin Holliday doubled with Courtney Wright and Mack- enzie Watson following up with singles. Two walks and a hit batter gave Lacy Lit- tlefield the chance to drive in two runs with a single for a 7-0 lead. The Seahawks ended the contest with three runs in the bottom of the sixth in- ning as catcher Mackenzie Watson singled in two runs after Sam Snider doubled and two singles and a walk had loaded the bases. Freeport struggled with four errors on the night and could manage only four hits in the contest. Rani Sim- mons took the loss as South Walton tallied 11 hits and ran the bases aggressively to cause problems for the Freeport defense. Walton took out Paxton 14-7 to advance to the cham- pionship game as the Braves scored six insurance runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to pull away from an 8-7 contest. The Braves sent 11 batters to the plate in their final at-bat of the night, doing all the damage with two outs in the inning. Walton got singles from Treasa Herndon, Kaylyn Douglass, Kaitlyn Green, Shelbie Standland and Ca- mille Cosson along with two crucial Paxton errors to pull away for the win. Walton had a 2-1 lead when Paxton plated two runs in the top of the third inning to gain a 3-2 advan- tage as Jessie Oglesby pro- vided a key hit around a walk and a Braves error for their only lead of the night. Walton responded in the bottom of the third with three runs as Camille Cos- son tripled in two runners, then scored on Herndon's single to hand the host a 4-2 lead. Walton added two more runs in the fourth inning as Cosson doubled in a pair of teammates to push the lead to 6-2. Paxton got one run back in the top of the fifth inning as a pair of walks and an error plated one run before the Braves threw out a Pax- ton base-runner at the plate to end the ,inning. Walton added two more runs in the fifth for an 8-3 lead as a three-base throwing er- ror and a single by Gillian Infinger seemed to salt the game away. Paxton wasn't done,, how- ever, as they sent nine bat- ters to the plate in the top of the sixth inning with Chel- sea Kemp driving in two runs with a double down the first base line to cut the lead to 8-7 before Cosson was able to coax a pop-out from Bethany Neale to strand the tying and go-ahead runners on base. After surviving the Pax- ton comeback, Walton put the game away with a six- run inning in the bottom of the sixth. Cosson then re- tired the Bobcats in the top of the seventh for the gruel- ing win to sweep the three- game season series. Freeport defeated Pax- ton in the third place game 15-7 as the Bulldogs tallied 16 hits and took advantage of numerous fielding errors by the Bobcats to earn the team's fourth win of the year. Alyssa Duross smacked a three-run home run in the fourth inning as a strong wind helped the ball fly over the right field fence. Senior Dannica Mosher had three hits in the contest while Megan Seibert scored three runs as she singled, doubled and walked three times in the game. Freeport held a 7-3 lead when Paxton rallied to cut the deficit to 7-6 with three runs in the bottom of the third inning. Haley Revette had an RBI single in the in- ning and Brianna Owens led the Bobcats with three hits in the game and scored two runs. Teammate Shel- by Ogelsby provided a pair of doubles and scored two runs. Freeport's offense kept scoring, though, as the Bull- dogs scored three runs in the fourth inning to push the lead to 10-3, then added five more. runs over their final three innings at the plate for a 15-6 lead before Paxton put across a solo run in the bottom of the seventh inning for the final margin. Rani Simmons picked up the win for Freeport while Kappi Stewart took the loss for Paxton. Tourney Notes: 10 players were chosen to the All-Tour- nament Team with Paxton's Brianna Owens, Freeport's Megan Seibert and Dannica Mosher, Walton's Camille Cosson, Treasa Herndon and Shelbie Standland making the roster. South Walton, as champion, had four players selected with Meagan Elli- son, Caitlin Holliday, Mack- enzie Watson and Megan MacLeod making the squad. Freeport's Seibert and South Walton's Holliday turned in some stellar defensive plays during the tourney. South Walton won the event for the second time, tying Walton for most titles in its current format. The tourney had not been completed since 2008 as Walton had trouble field- ing a team in 2010 and the shooting at the DeFuniak Springs Northwest Florida State campus canceled the championship round in 2009.

See story, additional photos page 12-B More to come on land use certificate ordinance By DOTTY NIST The latest draft of Walton County's proposed Certifi- cate of Land Use Compliance Ordinance got a thorough discussion on April 12 by the public, and community members continued to dis- agree about the proposal. Lynn Hoshihara, county attorney, began the Walton County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) hear- ing on the ordinance with the statement that, while this had been called the "wedding house" ordinance, it really was a certificate of land use compliance ordi- nance. It would require that all businesses apply for a certificate from the county ensuring that the business is permissible for the land use area in which it locates, she explained. However, some residents' focus is on a component of the ordinance that they see as a remedy to disturbanc- es from short-term rental homes in their neighbor- hoods that are rented to guests holding large wed- ding receptions and other events in the homes. The latest draft of the ordinance, Hoshihara com- mented, addresses viola- tions with any short-term rental accommodation be- ing rented out without the owner first registering with the Walton County Clerk of Courts as a tourist develop- ment tax collector. The current draft does not reference weddings but states that it shall be a vio- lation "to operate a short- term rental, located in a res- See ORDINANCE 4-C NEW WAL- TON County Planning and Development Services Director Wayne Dyess re- ceived a welcome at the April 12 county commis- sion meeting.

The capsule contained informational items envi- sioned to be of historical in- terest to future generations, including local news articles and maps, historical writ- ings, posters and other in- formation on the Santa Rosa Beach September 2010 cen- tennial celebration, stick- ers, patches, children's es- says and art work, material on local current events and issues, and other paper and plastic items. Plans are for the capsule to stay in place until 2110 before being un- earthed.

Snooki is on one of the dozens of reali- ty shows I've never seen, but I did see her on a talk show. She is a troll-like young woman sporting an outsize chest and prominent derri- ere with no apparent skills other than a huge capacity for alcohol. Were these stu- dents looking for drinking tips? But hey, she now has her own page on Wikipedia, so does that mean she's a success? My advice to her is that the 15-minute clock is tick- ing so I hope she's saving her money. She probably won't use it to go to college or train herself to do something use- ful, but when the MTV show goes away and the speaking gigs dry up, she's still going to be a young woman. You can only skate on dumb luck for so long. Sour grapes, ta- ble for one. In other celebrity news, it appears Charlie Sheen's tour isn't going all that smoothly. Well, duh! He has no act, yet real work- ing people actually forked over money to see him and the seats were not exactly cheap. The dude sold out Radio City Music Hall twice. Twice, and it isn't a small venue. It is dumbfounding. Most of us wouldn't have gone to see him play for free on the beach, yet thousands of folks were willing to spend money to see this use- Sometimes I feel like I've developed a case of adult onset attention deficit dis- order. I'll waltz into the kitchen with the intent of doing one task, do three oth- er things and leave without accomplishing the original task. Similarly it is difficult to hone in and concentrate on one subject for too long a time. Perhaps it's the speed with which information is flung at all of us these days. It's a bit like King Kong bat- ting at planes from atop the Empire State Building with each plane being a piece of info about one thing or an- other. Barely does the info register before another piece comes flying at you. In my news magazine, The Week, I read that Ni- cole "Snooki" Polizzi was paid $32,000 to speak to students at Rutgers Univer- sity. It was noted the sum paid her is greater than the $30,000 being paid to Toni Morrison to give the com- mencement speech. First of all, I was unaware com- mencement speakers were paid. I thought they did it. for the honor of being asked. I guess I'm naive, but if a Nobel Prize winning author is worth only $30,000, one has to wonder what the ex- presidents, news anchors and Hollywood illuminati are paid. Even worse, it was the Rutgers students who want- ed to hear from Snooki, ac- don 't waste it! A dripping faucet or fixture can waste 3 a total of 1095 gallons a year. LEAH STRATMANN less piece of no-talent up on a stage. What did they think an actor was going to do to entertain them without a script and a cast of charac- ters? In the end, the audi- ence turned on him, booed him and complained loudly about his farce of a show. Ticket sales for subsequent shows plummeted along with the price of the tick- ets, but give Sheen credit for continuing in the face of such animosity. He and his goddesses have pledged to finish the tour, since as the actor noted he's currently unemployed. Maybe Snooki and Sheen should go on tour together. And we wonder why peo- ple in other countries hate us. Leah Stratmann may be reached at leahwrites@ gmail.com gallons a day....

In connection with the "brand evolution," the name with which the beaches are currently promoted, "Beach- es of South Walton" is to be phased out and replaced with the shortened "South Walton." Introducing the con- cept at the April 12 Walton County Board of 'County Commissioners (BCC) meet- ing, TDC Executive Director Dawn Moliterno commented that there "is no more criti- cal time than now" for the organization to proceed with the new branding initiative for the county's 15 beach communities. Jennifer Jenkins of LKM, the TDC's marketing con- sulting firm, provided a presentation regarding the concept. Among the findings of LKM's market research were a less than 50-percent rate of name recognition for the Beaches of South Wal- said his experience with the celebration had taught him that by working together the community "can accom- plish anything." Calling the celebration "a wonderful outpouring of community spirit," Walton County Citizen Services Director Ken Little indi- vidually conveyed thanks to the many businesses and individuals who had worked to make the centennial, at- tended by over 2,500 people, a reality. A sizeable group, mem- bers of the Santa Rosa Beach Centennial Steering SHORTENED NAME approved for promotion of Walton County's beaches and a tagline option that may accompany it in future campaigns. ton in core markets which include previous visitors-- -and just a 21-percent rec- ognition rate in areas from which the TDC envisions at- tracting new tourists. Jen- kins also reported that less than half of previous visi- tors had knowledge of where they were staying, that only 3 percent knew they were in the Beaches of South Walton, and that 6 percent thought they were in Des- tin. Jenkins said the short- ened name "South Walton" received a more favorable response in a focus group process conducted by LKM, and that the tagline "To each your beach" also got positive results in the groups, which included both participants with knowledge of the desti- nation and those without. She said there was "very little recall" among group members of the TDC's cur- rent three-red-beach-um- brella logo. As part of the new brand evolution, that logo would be phased out in favor of the words "South Walton" in a cursive script. Options for taglines to ac- company the logo would be "Beaches of Northwest Florida" and "To each your beach." The latter tagline is con- nected with the idea of each visitor finding their "perfect place" among south Walton County's string, of beach communities. Jenkins detailed LKM's concept that would empha- size the lasting memories beach visitors store away as they prepare to go home. Moliterno requested BCC approval to proceed with the initiative, which will include a brand analysis, brand 'identity development, and a communications campaign employing the new brand- ing. A motion by District 5 Commissioner Cecilia Jones to authorize moving forward with the endeavor was ap- proved in a 4-0 vote, with District 1 Commissioner Scott Brannon not present for the vote. The TDC plans to hold a May 11 public workshop related to the new brand- ing efforts. The meeting is to include media co-op and research strategies. t Martha Cooper s featured artist for May Art in Public Places The South Walton Tour- ist Development Council (TDC) and Friends of Coast- al Branch Library proudly present the work of Martha Cooper as the May 2011 Art in Public Places exhibit. Cooper started painting in acrylics in high school but started "making things" and drawing at age six. She has painted with acrylics on canvas, screens, furniture and even acoustical panels. She enjoys working in many mediums including paint- ing, faux painting, drawing, fabric work, digital art and illustration, photo retouch- ing and restoration. The May exhibit features paint- ings and screens, which are acrylic on canvas, as well as photographs and digital wa- tercolor. "My inspiration comes from observation mixed with imagination and my artwork ranges from realis- tic to whimsical," said Coo- per. "As for training and ed- ucation, I have learned both through lessons and being self-taught." In 2005, Cooper began a study of Adobe's Creative Suite and has explored pho- to restoration and publish- ing as well as digital art- work, among other creative projects. In 2009, she pub- lished two children's books, Mimi's Garden and Mimi's Garden Coloring Book and, this year, published Mimi's SeaShore Coloring Book. Each month, this unique partnership between the South Walton Tourist De- velopment Council (TDC) and Friends of the Coastal Branch Library brings new, distinct exhibits to the pub- lic through displays at the Coastal Branch Library.

SWFD eliminates two positions' By LEAH STRATMANN In what Chief Rick Tal- bert of the South Walton Fire District (SWFD) called "an agonizing decision" the positions of executive assis- tant and assistant fire chief have been eliminated. Oth- ers will assume the duties of these two individuals. "We are trying to put all the pieces together. It wasn't an easy decision, that's for sure. None of this was done by popularity or perfor- mance. It was a heck of a sacrifice to lose my personal assistant," Talbert said. Talbert said, "For the last three years as tax dol- lars have been declining, we have been able to avoid this, but it finally came down to this. From a budgetary standpoint it captures dol- lars. It comes down to dol- lars and cents as a business model. It is a decision that lies squarely at my feet. I apprised the board of my de- cision, but as the fire chief and the chief administra- tor for the district, I had to make this tough choice." At this time Talbert does not see any further reduc- tion in staff, but says he will continue to look at every- thing. "We have a labor con- tract and the measures I've put in effect will not affect our response time," he said. Talbert pointed out the district is now involved with labor negotiations and the negotiations will have a lot to do with how the district will be containing costs. "We are a tight knit group and this has destabilized us a little, but we are here to serve others and it is our core role and will continue," Talbert insisted.

At the April 12 Walton County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) meeting Dawn Moliterno, South Walton Tourist Development Council (TDC) executive director, reported on the results of a recently-completed feasibility study commissioned by the TDC on the possibility of an arts center to be located in south Walton County. The $57,900 study had been approved by the BCC in Feb. 2010, following a request by then-TDC Director Sonny Mares based on a recommendation by tourism council members and investigations by a review committee. The study, conducted by the Tomlinson-Graham Group, included an examination of available public and philanthropic resources. Completed in March, the study concluded that a Walton County arts center complex would not be financially feasible at this time. The six-month study estimated the cost of the center at $33 million, excluding land pur- chase cost, along with an additional $2 million for parking. Moliterno said it had been determined that the center would require an annual subsidy of $750,000 from the TDC at least for the first two years. Study findings included that tax revenues to the county and the TDC would be expected to be insufficient to warrant the investment and the annual financial obligation. Moliterno said that, after reviewing the study, the TDC members had voted to recom- mend that the county not proceed with the arts center but instead explore other methods of promoting the arts in the community. 98 Corridor Authority to meet in Destin The Northwest Florida Transportation Corridor Authority (NWFTCA) is scheduled to hold a public meeting in Destin on April 28. Created by Florida statute, the NWFTCA is complosed of eight appointed voting mem- bers from Escambia, Santa Rosa, Walton, Okaloosa, Bay, Gulf, Franklin and Wakulla counties. The authority is charged with improving mobility on the U.S. 98 corridor in Northwest Florida, enhancing traveler safety, identifying and developing hurricane evacu- ation routes, promoting economic development along the corridor, and implemening trans- portation projects to alleviate current or anticipated traffic congestion. An agenda for the April 28 meeting is to be posted when available on the authority's Web site, www.nwftca.com. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. and take place in the board room of the Destin City Hall Annex. Information on the NWFTCA also available on the Web site. Point Washington Neighborhood Plan moves forward An overlay plan for a portion of the Point Washington Community was discussed at the April 12 Walton County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) meeting. Marge Crawford, a resident and property owner in the overlay area spoke in favor of adoption of the plan on behalf of the Historic Point Washington Association. Crawford noted that the plan would apply to 112 acres in the historic section of the com- munity and 62 parcels. The section is immediately east of Eden Gardens State Park. "We have a beautiful area...and we would really like to preserve what we have in it," Crawford said. She noted that the neighborhood association had begun meeting in 2007 to work on creating the neighborhood plan. THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, APRIL 21,2011 A 32-foot height limit on new construction is already in effect in the district due to an ordinance requested by community members and adopted by the BCC in 2008. The neighborhood plan would also put tree protection provisions in place in the overlay district and would reduce allowable development density from the eight units per acre cur- rently applicable to some parcels to a maximum of four units per acre. The commissioners complimented the community members on the plan, particularly on the tree protection provisions. However, Lynn Hoshihara, county attorney, was apprehen- sive about the plan's limitson density, warning that they could make the county vulner- able to Bert Harris Act lawsuits. Jennifer Christehsen of Walton County planning commented that, even without the proposed limits on density in the plan, it would be difficult for property within the district to be developed at eight units per acre due to the height limit, restrictions associated with development in floodplains, wetlands buffering requirements, and other factors. An owner of property in the overlay district commented that he did not oppose the plan but did not desire his property to be included because the limit on density would "devalue" his property. "I think we should be careful including any density in a neighborhood plan," said County Commission Chairman Larry Jones. This being the first of two required hearings on the plan, the BCC approved it to move forward to the second. Following the meeting, Crawford commented that it was her hope that the plan would be approved with the density reduction provisions in place. "That's the most important part," she said. BCC selects attorney firm, approves settlement Beasley Allen, an Alabama law firm, has been selected to handle the filing of Walton County's claim in connection with the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The decision took place at a special Walton County Board of County Commissioners' (BCC) meeting on April 15 in at the Walton County Courthouse in DeFuniak Springs. It followed the commission- ers' interviewing representatives of three firms that had responded to their request for proposals. Also at the April 15 special meeting, the BCC approved a $2.4 million settlement to the South Walton Tourist Development Council (TDC) by BP in reimbursement of bed tax losses incurred in 2010. The funds will be required to be used for promotion of south Wal- ton County tourism, and the settlement is not to preclude additional claims by the TDC. ORDINANCE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1-C idential land use category, for non-residential use." The proposed ordinance would establish the require- ment for a $300 Residential Event Permit to be obtained in order for any gathering of more than 50 people to be allowed at a short-term rental. The stated purpose of the permit requirement is "to ensure these gather- ings remain residential in nature." The draft ordinance would require all activities in con- nection with these gather- ings, including cleanup, to be completed before 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and before 10 p.m. on Fri- day and Saturday. It would also prohibit amplified out- door music at gatherings af- ter 9 p.m. on all days of the week. The proposal would pro- vide for no more than four of these permits to be obtained within a six-month period for any parcel. Hoshihara said there had been a suggestion that no more than four permits could be obtained during this time period on contigu- ous parcels owned by the same person. Another sug- gestion, she noted, was that gatherings of 30 to 50 people would not require a permit but would require advance notification to the county. Capt. Joe Preston of the Walton County Sheriffs Of- fice expressed willingness to meet and work with the BCC regarding enforcement of the ordinance and to ad- dress issues related to the proposal. "I think we're on the right track," commented Mira- mar Beach resident Paul Luchtefeld. He added that in his opinion the crux of the matter was differentiating commercial use from resi- dential use with the short- term rentals. Suzanne Harris of the Edgewater Beach condomin- iums observed that people come to stay in south Wal- ton County for peace, quiet and relaxation---and that they get upset if renters next to them have loud par- ties. She expressed concern about who would keep track of permits that had been is- sued for contiguous parcels. Mary Nielson wanted clarification on how the four-permit limit would ap- ply if the same renters held gatherings on subsequent days, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, for example. Richard Veldman asked how the $300 permit fee would be used. Hoshihara responded that fees would be used to administer the ordinance. Veldman urged for en- forcing existing ordinances such as the noise ordinance and parking ordinance. He was of the opinion that that would solve 90 percent of the problem. Margie Jordan comment- ed that a large percentage of businesses in the county are related to tourism. She urged the commissioners to go back to previous propos- als to address the issue. "The way that it is presented now is just not acceptable," she said of the ordinance. Port St. Lucie attorney Stephen Gieseler warned that national property rights advocacy groups have the proposed ordinance "on their radar" and see it as "a hill to die on." He predicted that the ordinance would be immediately challenged in court upon approval. Nicho- las Gieseler echoed his part- ner, predicting that the $300 permit fees would be put to use to defend the ordinance against litigation. Stating that the attor- neys in particular had "re- ally raised my ire," Blue Mountain Beach resident Leonard Anderson objected to the lawyers' "threats" and recommended that.if they had not grasped the concept of land use codes and zoning, "then they should find an- other profession." Anderson complimented the commis- sioners on their work with the ordinance, calling the document "magnificent." "This ordinance we feel is a violation of our proper- ty rights," countered Anna Hamer, who said she rents out her property for wed- dings and family reunions and abides by all current ordinances. Hamer said the parties last only a few hours, adding that she would be fi- nancially forced to abandon the home if the ordinance is passed. Seagrove resident Joe Stanko, who lives next door to a large home rented out to wedding parties, stated that he is not against wed- dings. "If they want to get married on the beach, God bless them," Stanko said. "I'm against a reception afterward and a bunch of drunks and noise," he com- plained. Stanko said parties in his residential neighbor- hood go on for numerous hours on Thursday, Friday and Saturday "every week- end during the season." He called for receptions and other parties to take place at commercial venues, not in short-term rentals in res- idential areas. County Commission Chairman Larry Jones moved to have staff review all the comments and to continue the hearing to the April 26 BCC meeting. The motion was approved by unanimous vote. The meet- ing is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. and take place at the Walton County Courthouse in DeFuniak Springs. VAN R.

USDA Rural Development invites applications for renewable energy and energy efficiency projects On April 14, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to- day invited agricultural producers and rural small businesses to apply for loans and grants to implement renewable energy systems and make energy efficiency improvements. "Biofuels and other re- newable energy sources present an enormous eco- nomic opportunity for ru- ral America and the rest of the nation," Vilsack said. "President Obama and I rec- ognize that we need to win the future by implement- ing a long-term strategy to meet our country's current and long-term energy needs. The funding I am announc- ing today will help make America's farmers, ranchers and rural businesses more energy efficient." The USDA is providing funding for up to $61 million in guaranteed loans and $42 million in grants through the Rural Energy for Amer- ica Program (REAP). Funds are available to help agri- cultural producers and ru- ral small businesses develop renewable energy systems, make energy efficiency im- provements and conduct studies to determine the feasibility of renewable en- ergy systems. The USDA issued a rule to clarify that the defini- tion of renewable energy systems in REAP includes flexible fuel pumps, some- times referred to as "blender pumps." This clarification is intended to provide fuel sta- tion owners with incentives to install flexible fuel pumps that will offer Americans more renewable energy op- tions. The Obama adminis- tration has set a goal of in- stalling 10,000 flexible fuel pumps nationwide within 5 years. The rule also makes the fol- lowing clarifications: Grants are available for audits of energy improve- ments and studies to de- termine the feasibility of renewable energy systems; and Agricultural producers in non-rural areas are eligible for REAP assistance. Small businesses must still be lo- cated in rural areas. This clarification makes REAP eligibility requirements con- sistent with those of other USDA energy programs. Since Rural Develop- ment's renewable energy and energy efficiency pro- grams were launched in 2003, they have played a key role in helping more than 6,000 local businesses create jobs and make ener- gy efficiency improvements. Under REAP, local busi- nesses receive assistance to deploy wind, solar and other forms of renewable energy. For example, Pagel Ponde- rosa and partner business Dairy Dreams in Kewaunee County, Wis., used REAP funds to help purchase and install anaerobic digesters. Both businesses use the en- ergy generated from their digesters to run their opera- tions and sell excess power back to the grid. The two di- gesters have become so suc- cessful that along with two wind farms operating in the county they are generating enough electricity to sup- port all of the county's 8,900 households. The deadlines for submit- ting completed REAP ap- plications are June 15 and June 30, depending on the type of project to be funded. For information on how to apply for assistance, contact your local USDA Rural De- velopment office or see page 20943 of the April 14 Fed- eral Register, http://edock- et.access.gpo.gov/2011/ pdf/2011-8456.pdf. A list of USDA offices is available at http://www.rurdev.usda. gov/StateOfficeAddresses. html. USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, administers and manages housing, business and com- munity infrastructure and facility programs through a national network of state and local offices. These pro- grams are designed to im- prove the economic stability of rural communities, busi- nesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America. Rural Develop- ment has an existing portfo- lio of nearly $149 billion in loans and loan guarantees.

THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, APRIL 21,2011 It was five days of music, art and performances by some of the top smooth jazz artists in the world. The 2011 Seabreeze Jazz Festival wrapped up this past Sunday, and record numbers of music lovers, took over Panama City Beach. ------------------------------......... From a humble beginning in Walton County over a decade ago, the Seabreeze Jazz Festival has grown into one of the top smooth jazz festivals in the nation. This past weekend, the festival broke their own record by selling nearly 20,000 tickets. Many that have made the trip every year to the festival, from all around the world, have seen the event grow year by year. It has been almost like watching a - U small child grow and develop into a young person and then an adult. But it is so much more for those who have made the festival a week-long vacation. It is all about the music. That is exactly what they discovered once again in Panama City Beach, from April 13-17. Eric Darius opened the five-day event, with hosting and playing on the sold - out Smooth Jazz Dinner Cruise on the Lady Anderson.

On Thursday evening, the crowds filed into Pier Park in Panama City Beach to hear Boney James, Roman Street and smooth jazz icon George Benson. The two acts saw thousands filling the arena, clapping, r singing, dancing and just swaying to the tunes that they listened to as young people. The next evening brought about another host of entertainers including Nicholas Cole, Julian Vaughn, Marcus Anderson, Joey Sommerville, Warren Hill, Marion Meadows and Paul Taylor. It was an evening spotlighting the gentlemen of smooth jazz, but they also had the thousands of men in the audience on their feet dancing as well. On Saturday the gates -.' .- ILI~wn M VIOLINIST KEN FORD, got a chuckle during his interview with the ladies of Smoothjazz.com, after his performance,on Sunday. The performer got the crowd on their feet when he ran throughout the crowd, screeching his instrument. NEARLY 20,000 TICKET HOLDERS crammed into Pier Park on Thursday-Sunday, as some of the world's top smooth jazz musicians converged on Panama City Beach, for the Panhandle's biggest ticketed event.

The final day of the Seabreeze Jazz Festival had an equally impressive line-up to conclude the festival, with acts like Jones & Co., Robert Harris, Mindi Abair, Ken Ford, and Candy Dulfer. The evening and the festival concluded with Guitars and Saxes starring Gerald Albright, Kirk Whalum, Peter White and Jeff Golub. On Thursday and Friday afternoons, Borders Books in Pier Park hosted the "Meet and Greet," where fans could get up close and intimate with their favorite smooth jazz musician.

Story and photos by JEFFREY POWELL Dozens of visitors braved a stiff westerly wind on Sat- urday, April 16, for the third annual Walton County Earth Day Festival. The event was sponsored by the Friends of Topsail Hill Preserve State Park and the University of Florida IFAS Extension of Walton County. Twenty-eight vendors participated in the celebra- tion which was geared to- ward educating visitors in Earth-friendly practices. In addition to the interactive educational displays there were hands on cooking class- es and coastal system hikes to attend. Children could also participate in a sand- castle building contest held on the beautiful beaches of the park. The first Earth Day was celebrated on April 22, 1970, and was the brain-child of former U.S. Senator Gay- lord Nelson. Millions of peo- ple around the world have recognized this day as a way of increasing awareness of the fragility of the planet on which we all live. "The Walton County Ex- tension Service is excited to cooperate with the Friends of Topsail Hill Preserve State Park each year with this event," said 4-H agent Suzanne Wilson. "Hopefully this event will give people a better understating and appreciation of our environ- ment." SUZANNE WILSON (I), 4-H AGENT, helped Cole An- derson with a fishing pole game. A PURPLE DRAGON BOUNCE HOUSE was a fa- vorite stop for the children. REPTILE WRANGLERS FROM AMI KIDS OF WEST FLORIDA allowed visitors to see and touch a variety of cold- blooded creatures.
