Mayor Harold Car- penter's final meet- ing, on April 22, saw the DeFuniak Springs City Council chambers filled to capacity as a crowd gathered to bid him and Councilman Wayne Graham fare- well just as much as to welcome the newly elected mayor and city councilman. City Man- ager Sara Bowers pre- sented plaques (and the aforementioned gavel) on behalf of city staff in recognition of both men's years of service. City Marshal Mark Weeks did the same, thanking the mayor for his support of local law enforcement.

The only store in Paxton that sells fla- vored tobacco products is the Tom Thumb gas station on U.S. 331, but Gilbert said the man- agement has chosen to keep these products well behind the coun- ter so as to be out of the sight of young shop- pers. Cashiers are also trained to check the IDs of everyone who looks "under 30," Gilbert said. Though the resolution adopted by the Council does not prohibit the sale of flavored tobacco products, Gilbert said it i's nonetheless a step in the right direction if it means helping to let kids and their families know about the dangers of using tobacco. Councilman Tommy Mathis agreed, mak- ing a motion to adopt the resolution and then speaking in open sup- port of such a move.

(Pho- to by Ben Grafton) By BEN GRAFTON Freeport's new Fire Chief Chad Harrell has reported to work giv- ing the city a full time permanent chief for the first time in many months. Harrell has been working in the Bay County Sheriffs office since 2011 when a re- duction in force took place in the Bay County Fire Department. Prior to that time Harrell had been working as a fire- fighter since 1991. He became a fully certified firefighter in 1994 and then went to work in the Callaway Fire De- partment. He achieved dual certification as a firefighter and as a law enforcement officer in 1999 and worked part time in the sheriffs of- fice. In 2000 he went back to the Bay County Fire Department and worked his way up through the ranks un- til he became a battal- ion chief. Then in 2011 the force reduction took place and he became a full time officer in the sheriffs office. Through all of this he was able to maintain his firefight- ing certification. Asked if he knew that certification was a sensitive issue in Free- port, Harrell replied, "Yes sir. I know it is. In fact I think one of the candidates for this job had to drop out because his certification had ex- pired." Harrell has a Fire Science [Associates] Degree from Gulf Coast State College. He says, "I've got bookoodles of training certificates in my book. The stipula- tion is that if you aren't up with the fire depart- ment training and all that stuff, your ticket expires."

I VOLUME 124 NUMBER 750 PER COPY I -- DFSPD procures two community service vehicles Over the last several months, the DeFuniak Springs Police (DFSPD) have worked diligently to procure two new ways of commuting inside the city limits: The two new ways of commuting were focused on the mobility during events that tend to assemble pedestrian traffic, and to enable emergency personal to respond to our citizens during disasters such as inclement weather. An EZGO was pur- chased through a feder- al grant. The DeFuniak Springs Police was awarded this funding after showing the need of mobilization during events that tend to have extraordinary pedes- trian attendance, such as the upcoming Mar- vel of Flight, Fourth of July celebration, Wal- ton County Fair, Hal- loween and Christmas Reflections. This will allow officers to respond to an emergency safely and quickly through the crowds. Several months. ago members from the De- Funiak Springs Police traveled to Montgom- ery, Ala. to the Alabama Army National Guard Unit (salvage yard) to take ownership of a donated 1986 Military Humvee. With the help from Holmes County Correction Institution, and city of DeFuniak Springs Shop person- nel, it is now ready for service. The Humvee allows much higher mobil- ity for the DeFuniak Springs Police if a di- saster such as a hurri- cane should occur. This former military vehicle enables the DeFuniak Springs Police to per- form many more tasks during manmade and natural disasters. When these types of disasters occur in our communi- ty, this new tool will as- sist the police and other first responders to ar- rive in a timely and safe method. The DeFuniak Springs Police were able to procure these two vehicles and now have them in operation in our community. The money spent to com- plete these two projects came from seized funds, which is awarded funds by the courts from the criminals, and federal funding grants. "We're excited about the two new additions to our fleet that will enhance our capabil- ity to better serve our citizens" Chief Mark A. Weeks said. We asked a few people on the street what they thought might increase visitors to the downtown DeFuniak Springs area. Here's what they said: TWO NEW COMMUNITY SERVICE VEHICLES, a Humvee and an EZGO, are now part of the DF- SPD's fleet of law enforcement vehicles.

Marvel of Flight was created as the 2010/2011 class project of Leadership Walton, a program of the Wal- ton Area Chamber. The class was challenged with bringing alter- nate forms of tourism throughout the county, while promoting eco- nomic development. "The city of De- Funiak Springs is hon- ored to host the third annual Marvel of Flight celebration at our mu- nicipal airport where customer service and economic, 'growth go hand in hand," City Manager Sara Bowers stated. The array of events include: aircraft judg- ing, vintage bi-plane and helicopter rides, pilot seminars, live en- tertainment, arts and crafts, free kids activi- ties, door prizes, car show, model rockets, RC planes, great food, and much more! This is an alcohol-free day of "hometown" fun for the entire family. The admission fee is one canned food item to ben- efit the Matrix Commu- nity Outreach Center. "After the over- whelming response to Marvel of Flight 2012 from both area resi- dents and the regional general aviation com- munity, we knew that this event had unlim- ited potential for future growth," stated Ryan Adams, Airport Services Supervisor for the City of DeFuniak Springs. "This year we will be hosting aircraft, exhib- its, and vendors from all across the country. It is truly an honor to be partnering with some of the most highly revered names in aviation such as; NASA Kennedy Space Center, Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide, International Women's Museum of Air and Space, Teledyne Conti- nental Motors, and Ex- perimental Aviation As- sociation. With the help of numerous volunteers from a multitude of lo- cal agencies and civic organizations, Marvel of Flight has grown into the largest Fly-In of Northwest Florida.

Moving into the next phase of the meeting, Dara Dobson, of the city's City Beautifica- tion and Tree Board, requested that the city issue a proclamation to the effect that the 129-year-old tree near the entrance of the DeFuniak Springs Li- brary is a historically significant tree.

Mayor Campbell thanked Dobson for her efforts and said he will sign the proclamation as soon as it is drawn up. Councilman Car- penter got into the mix early as well, making a motion to table a deci- sion on a request from the DeFuniak Springs Woman's Club to have its monthly electric and water bills reduced or eliminated. The motion was upheld 4-0. He lat- er made a request that any additions to the agenda requiring the Council's vote on money matters be made at the start of meetings, with the amount in question to be given to the board members for their con- sideration.

The first phase of the certification process is simply to send a let- ter of intent to McCal- lum Sweeney Consult- ing, a firm that markets industrial sites to com- panies looking for new locations, that the city wishes to submit its air- port property for classi- fication as an industrial park under the guide- lines of the program. The second phase of the certification process, an on-site evaluation, will cost $5,500, though Gulf Power will share that cost with the city, upon completion of which McCallum Sweeney Consulting will then leverage- its marketing efforts toward finding a good match for the property.

The amount tendered was $5.37 million, which is in ad- dition to $2.4 million already paid in 2011. That amount would go to the South Walton Tourist De- velopment Council (TDC). Advised by the TDC's attorney that the amount was "very fair," the BCC decided to accept the of- fer. The only problem is that the TDC only gets the money if the county agrees to accept an unspeci- fied amount to settle all of its claims against BP. "All or nothing" is the offer. So, the commissioners conferred (in closed session, as per the law), and came back with an offer to accept only the TDC portion and to proceed to sue BP for the county's losses. Legally speaking, when the BCC declined the exact offer made by BP, the original BP offer went away. Of course, BP can still agree just to pay the $5.37 million to TDC, but I don't see how it's in their interest to do that, since the BCC is still go- ing to sue them for county losses. In fact, the TDC attorney said there was a "substantial risk" that the offer would be withdrawn. It was also revealed at the meeting that Bay County has settled both its county and TDC claims for $15.3 million, of which $5.7 million will go to its TDC, with $9.6 million going to the county. That $5.7 is million pretty close to what BP is offering the South Walton TDC, which leads me to wonder how close the rest of the offer (the county, portion) might be. We don't know the exact amount, which leads me to wonder whether it's less than $9.6 million, or whether the BCC thinks Walton County deserves more than that. If BP tells the commission and TDC to forget the whole thing, there will be a lawsuit on behalf of both entities. If that happens, we are looking. at possibly years of litigation, in which the county and TDC will be required to document, dollar by dollar, its com- pensable losses. BP's attorneys can and no doubt will file a truck load of motions, discovery requests for documents and depositions, and anything else that large businesses do when sued for substantial sums of money. The clock will be ticking with a vengeance. In the end, both parties may still set- tle. But by that time, a lot of money will have gone for attorney fees and costs of litigation. A lot. I'm riot saying the attorneys will not have earned their fees I know they will but I hope someone is look- ing ahead, with a calculator. Editor: It has been brought up at a County Commission- er meeting that a fee be charged to users of Mor- rison Springs to help cover costs incurred there. May I say, this is a terrible idea, not to mention highly unfair. We have miles of free access beaches in the south part of the county, which I often par- take of 'and thoroughly enjoy, as do the tourists. In the north part of the county we have beautiful springs and woodlands to enjoy. Morrison Springs was natural and free. Then Walton county took over the further "beautification" and management of it. It is still a nice place; some things probably made better by the county involvement and oth- ers not so, like the cutting down of trees in the name of progress. However, the issue at hand is the suggestion of now charging people to use Mor- rison Springs, when once it was free. This is ex- tremely unfair. The people in the northern part of Walton County should in no way be asked to pay a user fee so that they can go cool off or enjoy nature, when the whole south part of the county is without charge for the same. I don't know who thought up this idea, but it ought to be discarded pronto. First we are fed the fishing line of paying for a bridge to the beach, toll or tax, you pay or you lose, never mind all the free highway money be- ing doled out all around the surrounding counties of Walton; and now this impending ridiculous dis- cussion of charging for Morrison Springs. Ms. Co- mander and the rest of the BCC, rest assured we do not need any more of these ill-thought out ideas of how to get more money out of struggling Walton county taxpayers, whether it is go get them across a bridge to work or have some relaxation at a local gem, Morrison Springs.

Af- ter we were told that they were going to arrest peo- ple, on two different occasions, Nov. 2012 and Feb. 2013. The pawn shop owner [reportedly] admitted that he had melted down the jewelry. Apparently some of the officers don't like doing their jobs. One officer said they were tired of riding and going to Andalusia to find persons. That's what kind of law enforcers we have in Walton County. The state- ment was made to me about people in prison say- ing to go to Walton County that the Sheriff Dept. is lazy dn investigations. We found some of the stolen jewelry Jan. 24, 2013 in Andalusia, Ala. But still cannot get any- thing done. That was the second piece of stolen jewelry. Statements were added to the report that we did not write. One of the investigators says Andalusia had checked with the pawn shop. It has been pawned April 2012. This girl knows the difference between cheap jewelry and the real good or fine jewelry. You know when you admit to doing things, it can get you life in prison or death penalty. We were told that some people were going to be ar- rested. Nothing happened. I was told that a search of the property was done. The house, yard and the dogs has fleas. Won- der how many flea bites the officer got. Bet they had to go get shots for infections. You can get fleas walking by the house and neighbor dogs get fleas. The neighbors doctor their dogs. The girl told it about the fleas. This investigation has been going on almost one year. I was told by Walton officers that they could not go across any county or state lines to look for anyone. If had to be the officers in the city or county officers to look for any persons. I think most people can form their own opinions about this case. Hope nobody needs the officers of Walton County for anything. You probably won't receive any help Thank You Joy Miller Laurel Hill ILETTERTOTHEEDI TORI Editor: I read your article about some local concerns about the Common Core'National Education Stan- dards, and I was shocked after looking into it a just a bit. First I was uncomfortable about where much of the funding came from and where the funding was used to influence support for Common Core. Bill Gates (of Microsoft) has put up about 160 million dollars over the past 5 to 7 years which seems great until you look at where most of that money was spent and/or given to: The National Association of Governors and The National Association of Chief Educators took in about 75 percent of the money from Bill Gates. The problem with this is that both of these offi- cial sounding groups are not public organizations, but private organizations for profit; Both groups strongly pushed for Common Core, but the meet- ings they held are not under any sunshine rules. So the public can not see what went on in their meetings of why they so strongly support Common Core. The second problem I found was that now it costs about $25 per student per year to adminis- ter and grade the FCAT or each state's equivalent test, but when Common Core is fully in place their testing will cost around $100 a year per student. The cost increase will be mainly due to Common Core's testing; it will be computer based and new computers, software and up dating will be the rea- son for the cost increase. Bill Gates' $160 million payout will likely bring Microsoft many billions in returns. Maybe there is a reason or his (Bill Gates') "interest" in education. The third and most upsetting problem I found was that Common Core will actually lead to low- er math skills and lower levels of critical think- ing being taught to our children: This last point I learned by watching the Michigan State House of Representatives Hearing and testimony on Com- mon Core. The Michigan Representatives had expert wit- nesses both for and opposed to Common Core. The witnesses that I found most sincere and honest were the math prof and literature prof, both of whom had sat on Common Core advisory boards until they saw how the Common Core structure would in their professional opinions "Dumb Down" our children; they said in math students entering college would be two years behind and 50 percent less able to think critically. The witnesses for Common Core seemed to me only to distract from the facts being presented or change the subject. 'This is just my take on what I have read on this subject and what I watched on the computer which - everyone that has an interest can and should do. You can see the Michigan House of Representa- tives debate by Googling Common Core Testimony at Michigan House of Representatives, HB 4276 3/20/13 or you can Google Common Core or Stop Common Core. I have children that are in the Walton County District now and a 31-year-old son that is work- ing on his PhD in education and is teaching. I am rather worried by what I am seeing. One of the witnesses said that 90 percent of teachers, They asked like the idea of a "national" standard as Common Core promotes but more than 75 percent of those same teachers know very little about Common Core. I'm sorry to say that when I asked my son what he thought about the Common Core system: he really liked and repeated "na- tional standards" but could tell me almost nothing about Common Core. He said he would watch the Michigan debate and get back to me. John Donnlly Freeport I ETE OTH ITOR Editor: The main objective of this present Administra- tion is to destroy, or "change" America as we grew up to cherish and love, and that is so troubling to me. They are at this time focusing on and attempt- ing to do away with our God given Second Amend- ment "freedom to bear arms." The United Nations recently held a vote on its U.N. Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), which would seek to impose U.N. approved international gun control standards on the trade of arms. What galls me is that 90 percent of Americans are against it. I for one am very much opposed to anything the U.N. proposes. A majority of House of Representatives sent out letters to the Adminis- tration outlining to the ATT and compelling them to reject any treaty that undermines our Constitu- tional rights or national security interests. Rep- resentative Jeff Miller has signed onto legislation, H.CON.RES.23, which states "it is the sense of Congress that the president not sign the treaty, and that if he does, the Senate should not ratify it." Many of the Senators have also expressed their opposition and last month 53 Senators supported an amendment to the Senate budget resolution op- posing the ATT. But, despite the warnings, Obama and this Ad- ministration directed their representative at the U.N. to vote in favor of the Arms Trade Treaty. Even though the Treaty was adopted by the U.N., all treaties must also be ratified by a two-thirds majority of the Senate. Miller says he is confident that the Senate would not ratify the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty; however, this Administration's rep- resentative voted in favor of this measure, over the objections of millions of Americans, and is scary to say the least. This past week 41 Senate Republicans and five Democrats voted against stricter background checks on gun purchases, causing this piece of leg- islation to fall short of the 60 votes needed. Our "liar in chief' did what he always does when he doesn't get his way. He (of all people) accuses the Republicans of Lying to the people and he's warn- ing them that he will keep fighting for this law to pass. I wouldn't doubt if he doesn't force it through just like he did with Obamacare. By the way, I'm just curious to know if there is anyone else who has noticed that all of a sud- den gun ammo is as scarce as hen's teeth. And if you find any, be willing to pay a huge price. My husband has tried in Florida and Alabama with no luck. The last place we checked one box of 22 long range rifle shells were going for $39. They only had two boxes. Didn't know when they would get any more. It is a sad day for America when our God given rights to bear arms, freedom of religion and freedom of speech are being done away with faster than I ever thought possible. Not in America! Yes, I'm afraid so.

TEAM MEMBERS OF PAXTON SCHOOL S.W.A.T. (Students Working Against Tobacco) got ap- proval from the Paxton Town Council for a resolution raising awareness about the sale of candy-flavored tobacco products. (Photo by Reid Tucker) PAXTON said. "I've been down most that road and it's a to prc rough one." docun Next on the Council's strati agenda was a return to instant the issue of water bill indivi waivers, with City At- to pro torney Lori Bytell lay- montl ing out three options, Oti all of which differ in cer- include tain ways from the city's not w current waiver policy. one-ti While the current policy are u allows any citizen to ob- policy tain a one-time reduc- bill sh tion to the monthly av- subse erage, the new options allow variously limit waivers the p to either senior citizens reque (defined as 55 or older), on da low income persons (as to cit defined by the national hard poverty guidelines for the cii example, a family of four option with less than $24,000 ter bi annual income) and dis- income abled individuals. The does way in which the waiv- stipul er is obtained differs be- Coi tween the options, but made Wright graduates basic training Pvt. Amanda Wright graduated from the U.S. Army combat in- fantry training at Fort Jackson, S.C. on March 21, 2013. She is a 2012 gradu- ate of Walton High School. She is attending the Wheeled Vehicle Me- chanics course for 12 weeks. Apparently, predict- ing the number of cal- ories you need to cut - or to burn to lose weight is being ques- tioned. Furthermore, the number of calories thought to be in foods may or may not be what is actually in the food. The. traditional calo- rie calculation goes like this: 1 pound of body fat equals 3,500 calories. So if you decrease your intake or burn - 500 calories a day, you should lose 1 pound a week (500 x 7 = 3,500). Although this equa- tion works mathemati- cally, researchers are noticing that it does not always apply to real world conditions. Nutrition experts at the Mayo Clinic agree that many factors in addition to calories - affect the rate of weight loss. These include your genetics, your metabol- ic rate, what your body is losing (fat, muscle or water), how your body adjusts to fewer calories and more exercise, and even how much sleep you get. All these fac- tors can alter the pre- diction of weight loss. And that makes it diffi- cult to predict how fast you or anyone else will lose weight. Another long-held belief that is being questioned is the At- water method for cal- culating the number of calories found in foods according to their car- bohydrate protein and fat contents. It has long been thought that if you know the grams of car- bohydrate, protein and fat in a food, you can get a fairly good estimate of the total calories in that food. However, it now ap- pears that the Atwater method overestimates the number of calories in a food or mixed diet by as much as 25 per- cent compared to more precise measurements that mimic what a per- son may actually digest, absorb and metabolize. If that is the case and it is still being studied - it may mean that food labels and tables listing calorie content of foods might be off. When it comes to los- ing weight, one adage require applicants ovide some kind of aentation demon- ng their need for nce, a low-income dupal would have ovide proof of their hly income. her considerations le whether or waivers should be me only as they rnder the .current and how much a should be reduced if quent waivers are ed.

A steady, life-long com- mitment to a healthier Council table its vote until the next regularly scheduled meeting on May 21 so as to give the board members time to think about the deci- sion. Regardless of what the Council decides, Bytell suggested a 60- day moratorium after the adoption of the new policy at a public hear- ing, with the intention being to gather as much input from Paxton resi- dents as possible. Finally, Mayor Hay- ward Thomas reported to the Council that reno- vations to the stock barn at the city's Agricultur- al Center wrapped up just that morning.

Numerous "Shake and Bake" meth labs located in DeFuniak Springs home On April 17, investi- gators with the Walton County Sheriffs Office arrived at 209 Mos- ley Lane, DeFuniak Springs, the residence of Zanda Brock, 55, and her boyfriend Steven Downing, 49, in refer- ence to complaints of methamphetamines DOWNING being manufactured at this residence. While speaking with Brock, investigators observed items associated with the "Shake and Bake" method of manufac- turing methamphet- amines. A search warrant was obtained for the residence and investi- gators located three ac- tive "Shake and Bake" BROCK cook vessels contain- ing a trafficking weight (more than 200 grams) of methamphetamine. Investigators also lo- cated chemicals used in the methamphetamine manufacturing process, smoking devices, and digital scales. Both Brock and Downing were at the residence when the search warrant was ex- ecuted. Subsequently, the two were placed un- der arrest and charged with manufacturing methamphetamine (2nd Degree Felony), trafficking in metham- phetamine (1st Degree Felony), and possession of drug paraphernalia (1st degree misdemean- or). Brock and Downing were transported and booked into the Walton County Department of Corrections. Domestic altercation leads law enforcement to arrest barricaded subject Deputies with the Walton County Sheriffs Office (WCSO) respond- ed to 71 North Avenue, Freeport, on Sunday evening (April 21) after receiving a third party call that a subject was planning on killing him- self. The subject, Antho- ny D. Knutson, 50, was reportedly involved in a physical domestic alter- cation in which, accord- ing to the victim, Knut- son was armed with a gun and told the victim he wanted to "shoot it out with the cops." Knutson ran out of the house and then chased the alleged victim off with a baseball bat. Upon arrival on scene, deputies encoun- tered Knutson, who threatened law enforce- ment, according to the offense report, "If you step foot in my yard, I will blow your brains out." He then turned and went back into his house. During his time in the home, Knutson was armed. Deputies were able to speak to Knutson in an attempt to calm him down but he did not surrender to law enforcement at that time. Knutson then cranked up a dirt bike in his garage and left the scene. K-9 deputies and correctional officers were deployed to the area and were able to locate Knutson hiding -in the woods in the area of east of his residence. Knutson was charged KNUTSON with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon (without intent to kill), battery, and resisting an officer without violence. He was transported and booked into the Walton County Department of Corrections.

Jason Hayford, District Conservationist, dis- cusses project with landowner as pipe is being laid for undergounfd outlets. Here is an example of a grassed waterway installed in a cotton field. Henry Adkinson, Soil Conservationist Technician, measures height of pipe on under- ground outlet.' The Choctawhatchee River Soil and Water Conservation District, which covers Walton County, Florida had another successful year in 2012 through the conservation of our soil, water and renewable resources. The conservation district was organized in March 1940 under the authority created by the Soil Conservation Act passed by the Florida Legislature in 1937. It was formed for the purpose of providing an organized procedure for assisting farmers and land users with problems related to soil and water conservation. The conservation district is a sub- division of state government with a governing board of five locally elected supervisors. Technical service is provided to the District by the United States Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service. The conservation district has an agreement with the USDA whereby the Natural Resources Conservation Service pro- vides technical information and professional personnel to assist .it in carrying out and maintaining soil and water conservation measures on properties within their county boundaries. ACCOMPLISHMENTS The following are some of the District's accomplishments and activities during FY 2012: Provided a donation to Walton County School Science Fair for projects on conservation in both the junior and senior division Assisted with the Inaugural Emerald Coast Envirothon held at the E.O. Wilson Biophilia Center in Freeport. Provided assistance and volunteers for the National Association of Conservation Districts' Southeast Regional Meeting held in Sandestin in August. Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP) and Wildlife Habitat Incentive Programs (WHIP) had a total of 82 applicants for 2012, with 24 contracts approved under EQIP and 9 contracts approved under WHIP, specifically for the Gopher Tortoise program. Contracts for both programs totaled $563,203 for those contracts that were approved. Currently working on 84 active contracts under EQIP and WHIP contracts totaling $1,684,966 and 27,004 acres in Walton County. Assisted Farm Service Agency on Conservation Reserve Programs (CRP) 28 Contracts Provided technical assistance to Walton County Road Department for storm drainage runoff on Highway 2 and Sandy Pines Road. Provided technical assistance to 29 landowners regarding erosion control, drainage problems, critical area assessments, terrace systems and underground outlets for land not currently under NRCS contracts. Fiscal year 2012 was the sixteenth year of the nationwide conservation program known as the Environmental Quality Incentives Program. This program combines the functions of the Agricultural Conservation Program, Water Quality Incentive Program and the Colorado River Basin Salinity Program. The Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP) is a voluntary program for landown- ers who want to develop and improve wildlife habitats on private land. Through WHIP, USDA's Natural Resource Conservation Service provides both technical assistance and up to 50% cost-share assistance to establish and improve wildlife habitats. WHIP agree- ments between NRCS and the participant generally last from 5 to 10 years from the date the agreement is signed. In addition to the program work the conservation district has available for sale the fol- lowing resource materials: The Walton County Soil Survey CD, USGS Topographical maps for Walton County.and Walton County Plat books. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The conservation district would like to acknowledge the support and assistance from the following agencies, groups and individuals that aided us in implementing our pro- grams: The Walton Board of County Commissioners supports the conservation district by pro- viding a district conservation aide and office manager for the district office. The Natural Resources Conservation Service provides professional personnel to assist the land users of Walton County. The Farm Service Agency assisted with the Conservation Reserve Program in taking out highly erodible cropland and establishing permanent vegetation. They also assisted with the Environmental Quality Incentive Program. Florida Three Rivers RC&D for continued support on projects throughout the conser- vation district. Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission by providing assistance in habitat and species conservation. The Walton County Extension Service Office was very valtiable in maintaining a sound Agricultural Education Program. The Division of Forestry provided valuable assistance with forestry programs in Walton County. The DeFuniak Herald provided support by keeping the public aware of all conservation news. The Choctawhatchee River Soil and Water Conservation District is continuously striv- ing to better serve the land users of Walton County. Assistance through the District is available at no charge and regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, disability or marital status. It is the ultimate goal of the conservation district that a complete soil and water conser- vation plan become established and maintained on every farm, ranch and watershed in Walton County.

Receiving "bronze" sta- tus and a $1,000 check were Mossy Head School and Maude .Sauriders Elementary. Silver level winner, West De- Funiak Elementary, received a check for $2,000. Gold awards level schools, Freeport Elementary School and Freeport Middle. School received $3,000 from the program for their efforts. Walton County School Superintendent Carlene Anderson also thanked staff from Van R. Butler for training other school's staff in the PBS system. After announce- ments, WCSB chair Mark Davis discussed with the board changes and additions to the agenda that had been requested. The board moved unanimously. to approve the agenda as amended as well as ap- proving 5-0 the adop- tion of minutes from two prior meetings on April 2 and March 19. Davis then called for public comments. With no public comments forthcoming, the board moved onto the consent portion of the meeting agenda. Anderson rec- ommended the consent agenda for approval and WCSB member. Sharon Roberts made motion for the request to be approved. WCSB member Faye Leddon seconded the motion and the board approved all items on the consent agenda 5-0. The board then moved to the action portion of the agenda. The board agreed unanimously to approve an amend- ment to the Seaside Charter School agree- ment to include support for Seaside Collegiate High School classes (grades 9 and 10) to be held adjacent to South Walton High School on the Northwest Florida' State College (NWFSC) campus in south Wal- ton. School financial re- ports came before the board next for the 2011- 2012 year. The board approved the reports unanimously. The fi- nancial audit for the board for the end of the June 30, 2012 year was next on the agenda. Members made motion to open the audit up for discussion. Leddon said she was not meaning it as criticism, but had some questions and con- cerns. Leddon empha- sized she was concerned about data loss and se- curity controls. Staff responded that there were a few things that were still being worked. on and continuing to be monitored as well as other items that were ongoing and improved. Mention was made by Davis that the board received an audit find- ing due to the fact the board had to follow law and negotiate with the teacher's union over sal- ary, which slowed down the process. The board then moved to approve the audit unanimously. Two sets of personnel recommendations came before the board next. The board approved the recommendations 5-0. Staffing plans then came before the board. Roberts ,,,mOti lii lil "M I:, iliu"io iand 1 \ .: derson on their hoirl work and time ptii in on I hlt', iAI Hlii ,iflnlWa .Woll It, ith qIu k iri o nsel0 they had to a question she had aSked, "ThIn l i ,proi liv the beo t iiiff:T iiig plan we've putt to- gether in seven years and I ;ippri'icitli it so much," added Roberts. The board approved the staffing plans 5-0. The next item on the agenda was a request to withdraw the pending administrative hearing for the termination of Laura Behr. Anderson told the board that Behr had decided to tender her resignation instead of going through with the hearing approved and set by the board at an earlier meeting. The board moved to accept the request to withdraw the pending hearing, accept Behr's resigna- tion and continue her suspension without pay until the effective date of her resignation, 5-0. The board then made quick work of two items seeking permission to advertise notices of public hearings for Rule Development and No- tice of Intent to Adopt District 2013-2014 Stu- dent Progression Plans and Uniform Code of Conduct by passing the items, 5-0. Facilities and con- struction items were brought before the board. Anderson recom- mended the construc- tion management firm of Birkshire Johnstone, LLC as a pre-qualified contractor. The board approved them unani- mously. The firm was the lowest bidder on the next item of business, a $266,800 contract for Bay Elementary School window replacement, as well as gutter and downspout work. The board approved the bid 5-0. A long list of student expulsions were the next item of business. Six cases were brought before the board for re- view. Board members read over the files, after they were handed out, with the cause and An- I .., Bruce Naylor Owner-Broker duln'ill'. !'ir '.int IiM ir0I" i' I : tion li0l, on the 11141 iialofi e fil i lStudent name~ and imoeia privaii liinf !iin iu ll *noi r ni' nd hi the ua0 e ihlA m -ili : miuor1S mIe kept AN c0n0 tih-iilinl dulirini- the dim- ouHNioln tas possible. 'ITh first case was approved for expulsion 5-0 and was due to the student bringing a knife to a school facility. The sec- ond case was due to a student giving prescrip- tion and non-prescrip- tion medication to other students, an action that was caught by a school bus video camera. The board approved the ex- pulsion recommenda- tion 5-0. The third case, ac- cording to Anderson, was unique due to the fact the student is an Exceptional Student Ed- ucation (ESE) student and administrators and staff asked for leniency for the student when they lost their temper in class one day with a substitute teacher and "blurted out" something about "blowing up" the school. Anderson said the student had never been a problem and this conduct was totally out of the ordinary for them according to their teachers and admin- istrators. The student had already been sus- pended for 12 days and his administrators had requested leniency on the board's part. After more discussion, board member Gail Smith made motion that the board accept the super- intendent's recommen- dation that the student be allowed to return and the 12 days they had been suspended serve as punishment for the outburst. Leddon sec- onded the motion and the board approved 5-0. The fourth case in- volved a student who filled out a withdrawal form, only to have a Walton County Sheriffs Office K-9 unit "hit" on his car for drugs before he could leave school property. The student was going to attend another school in Ala- bama, but the school was notified of his sus- The Proven Professionalq Naylor t e REALTY & Ami. m Inu 776 BALDWIN AVE. 951-2488 www.NaylorRealtyUSA.com iort0ons & Caricatures M8e From Your Photos by e mail-marksfunkyart@yahoo.com / Phone- (850)278-6024 , : Fellw MarkiFnkylArt.eom on Faceboek [i't 'll him ; .,lim clp.,n recommended the Pin detl t to 1 'Iiilli li edu-l Vatiolal trequiremenoIla ihIn'it.h Walton Acid=c ,,,v bfor thm romillindor of the school ytar.

The board moved unani- mously to approve the recommendation. The sixth case in- volved a razor blade and a student that was self-harming as well as walking by other stu- dents and "nicking" them with the blade as he passed them, Ander- son told the board. The student had already been suspended once during the school year and the incident took place at Walton Acad- emy. Leddon requested that after expulsion, the student be required to partake at their own expense, state approved evaluations and coun- seling before being al- lowed to re-enter the Walton County School system. The board ap- proved the request unanimously. One last item of busi- ness was the board ap- proving, 5-0, for Leddon to travel to Blountstown High School to attend a Common Core Boot Camp for School Board Members. The board passed the item 5-0. The board also ap- proved a state contract bid/purchasing order for $25,000, before mov- ing on to the school at- torney's report, by Ben Holley. Holley told the board that if an offer was not received from BP by April 19, the school would file suit against them. In closing, Roberts thanked retiring staff; Anderson requested closed expulsion hear- ings for the afternoon of April 18 and received unanimous approval of the request. Anderson discussed with the board the possibility of closing schools on Fridays dur- ing the summer, since most staff work four, 10 hour work-weeks, IN MEMORY OF LEE MULLIS, M.D. Iut ilw- SChoolS are kept op n !o i ,I 't .'. .Pand |l i i~ y I- Il .e', ( 'i ,ijri'- iio s *ll i,.. i di8- t'ilet c, would olve almost ,);idJn*i lin eOnergy cost by ,ni'h I I i!'

Dear Auntie Em, Dear Auntie Em, My two children have put in to adopt an ani- mal this summer when school is out. I think they are wonderful ad- ditions to the family, but worry they do not understand the respon- sibility having a pet en- tails. Any ideas on how I might get this across to them and know whether they are ready for this? Thanks, Two-legged mom Dear two legs, I think you are wise for being concerned about this. I also think that helping kids and adults understand the physical and financial responsibilities that come with pets are not to be taken lightly. Right now, there are many people who give all of their free time in our area helping pets find new homes. We have many strays in our area due to irre- sponsible owners that * don't get their pets fixed or care for them appro- priately and then think those pets are dispos- able. Many local groups, like Animal Rescuers of Florida Inc. (ARF), are always looking for temporary foster homes for pets that are in-be- tween adoptions. Vol- unteers with our local shelter also spend time socializing, grooming and taking pictures of dogs and cats in our local shelters in hopes of them finding a new home. I think joining a lo- cal group that assists the shelter and letting your kids participate with them would be a great way to show them the responsibility that comes with pets. You can find ARF at www. arflorida.com and on Facebook. Other groups include, Helping the Animals of the Walton County Shelter and An- imal Rescue Buddies. Look them up by name and check out what they do and pick the one that is the right fit for your family. Good luck, God bless you, your family and all the little pets that need homes and help. Auntie Em Have a problem? Got a question? Want to vent about an issue and get some feedback? Auntie Em would love to hear what's on your mind. Send an email to Auntie Em at dfsher- ald@gmail.com atten- tion Auntie Em or send it the old fashioned way to P.O. Box 1546 DeFuniak Springs, FL 32435.

Call 892- 3232 *VISA *Master- card *Discover Accepted Just Hang On By Ronnie McBrayer When I was a bit younger and a bit braver, a group of friends and I shot the rapids on the Ocoee River in southeast Tennessee. The Ocoee, which I think is the Cherokee word for "terrified rafter" is a world class whitewater adventure. Now, I'm no world class athlete, and that be- came evident on the river. I so feared being sucked out of the boat that I literally dug my toenails into the rubber raft I was paddling. But by the time we finished, I was on a first name basis with rap- ids named Broken Nose, Table Saw, and Diamond Splitter and it was an incomparable thrill. Whitewater sports began quite accidentally on this river. The Ocoee is dammed to produce elec- tricity. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has operated their dams for years, and for the longest time, TVA's production of electricity killed the river. Only a trickle of water, no more than ankle deep in places, flowed through the gorge. But in the late 1970s a portion of one of their dams broke, sending the full force of the Ocoee through the canyon for the first time in decades. Whitewater outfitters and kayakers jumped all over the opportunity, setting up impromptu river tours. After the dam was repaired, legislators were wise enough to pass laws to protect the recreation that had developed on the river. So, for 112 days a year the Ocoee River is "turned on" for kayaking and rafting enthusiasts. On the morning I arrived at the river there was nothing but rocks. "How are we going to shoot the rapids when I can rock-jump across the river and never get wet?" I asked my guide. Speaking like a cross between Jedi-Master Yoda and some drug- empowered oracle he said, "Sweat it not, dude. The water is coming." He was right. The water was coming. Thirty miles upstream the water had been released. It took a little while to get there, but as I watched, the babbling stream turned into a torrent of white- water, and the adventure was afoot. The power of those rapids was incredible. I couldn't dictate to the river with my little paddle and rubber din- ghy any more than I could turn on or off the dam's floodgates. There was no control over the water; I had to go where it pushed me. Sure, at times I could steer, paddle or even stop, hiding behind a huge rock; but when released over the rapids all I could do was scream, flay at the water, and pray. The power of the water had been unleashed, and we were just along for the ride. Living out the life of faith is a lot like that. We have our raft, paddle, and are in this boat with our friends on the same journey. What began as a drib- ble is now an unstoppable flood. We are paddling along best we can, moved by the unleashed Spirit of God. And sometimes we are more than moved. Some- times life and faith are not placid escapades of re- flection and peace. Instead, the journey of faith be- comes a bone-jarring exercise in survival, crashing over the rocks and through the rapids, threatening to drown us. We are often jostled from the security of our raft, forced to scream out of desperation for a rope or lifeline of rescue. We struggle and fight just to keep our noses above the water line. We may get the relieved opportunity to list in quiet pools, catching our breath and resting our muscles from time to time. But then, the water will pick up and we are on our way again. Sure, there are things we can and should do along the way: Pray, hang on, watch out for our friends, and paddle like our hair is .on fire. But ultimately we are riding the wave of God ashe does his good will and purpose. His power has been turned on in our lives, and all we have to do is hang on and let it take us where it will.

The Seahawks (12-11) clobbered the Bulldogs (3- 16) at the outset on April 18 game, with five batters reaching getting hits and another three took bases on balls to propel them to a 7-0 lead before the end of the first inning. Freeport made a pitching change, extricating the team from a disastrous start to the contest, though South Walton scored again in the fourth the fourth and in the seventh. The Bulldogs were unable to gain much ground, despite scoring twice, as South Walton tacked on a couple more runs in its final at bat to tie up an easy win. The visitors spread out their efforts on of- fense though Fletcher Wilson went 3-for-3 and scored once, team mates Joe Canalego and Dustin Allen each got a pair of hits off four and five total trips to the plate, while Zach Lance, Tyler Slotter and Alex Smith all came away with one hit apiece. Freeport's best hitter, Da- kota Davis, went 2-for-4 but he also led the game in strikeouts as the Bulldogs' pitcher. Davis struck out nine South Walton bat- ters and gave up five hits in six and half innings of work compared to the Sea- hawks' Allen, who pitched a complete game but came away with six hits and only two Ks. Nevertheless, the game started off so well for the Seahawks that even slow- er going in the middle in- nings couldn't bring the momentum of their offense to a complete halt. South Walton coasted through the next several innings, and, while Free- port managed a run from Ryder Newman in the bot- tom of one, the home team never found its footing and never threatened to turn the tide. South Wal- ton's Lance hit a sacrifice fly to shallow right field in the top of thl fourth to score Drew Pfeiffer to give the Seahawks an 8-1 lead and Davis responded with a Bulldog run in the fifth. Wilson and Pfeiffer scored once more apiece in the last South Walton at bat to put the wraps on the win. .SOUTH WALTON'S FLETCHER WILSON WENT 3-for-3 on the night against Freeport, leading the Sea- hawks at the plate on the way to a 10-2 victory.

The Sharks jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning as three singles and a wild pitch put the Seahawks in an early hole.

Team Notes: The Port St. Joe game marked the fi- nal appearance for seniors Donielle Geoffrion and Eve Heffron. The Seahawks have missed the playoffs for the past three seasons as they have struggled to get past Port St. Joe and Sneads in district tour- nament play in what has been very competitive district competition over that time.

Walton fell to Mari- anna in the title game on Thursday, April 18, by a 10-0 score as five errors, including several costly ones in the outfield, broke open a 1-0 game as the Bulldogs rolled to their third consecutive district crown in the sport. The Bulldogs got a solo home run from Whitney Lipford in the bottom of the first inning to take an early lead and capitalized on two dropped balls in the outfield to put three more runs on the board in the fourth. Linsey Basford drove in a run with a dou- ble to provide the key hit of the inning. The floodgates opened in the bottom of the fourth inning as the host squad sent 11 batters to the plate, scoring six runs with the help of five singles, a walk and a hit batter. Walton's lone hit in the contest came from senior catcher Treasa Herndon in the fourth inning. The Braves were able to draw three walks but could not solve Marianna pitcher Taylor Hussey, who re- corded eight strikeouts to pick up the five-inning vic- tory. Marianna improved to 16-6 with the victory while Walton fell to 11-14. One day prior, the Lady Braves overcame long odds to win 5-4 in dramat- ic fashion against Pensa- cola Catholic, which at one point held a convincing 4-0 lead. The first two innings of the game were as much a stalemate as a pitchers' duel, with Walton's Laura Hydle matching her rival two walks for two strike- outs. However, all that changed in the bottom of the third, when Catholic scored four runs, two of which were due to passed balls at the plate. Walton stepped up in a big way in their next at bat in the top of the fourth, with Herndon and Kayla Jackson each crush- ing in doubles for one run, though Cristen Gillis' follow-up single ended up in a third-base put out for Jackson. .The game then went back to a pitching-domi- nated deadlock, the score- board showing 4-1 Catho- lic until the top of the sixth inning, when it be- came the Lady Crusaders' turn to suffer a crippling blow. Two Walton batters were walked early in the order and then a barrage of three singles from Jack- son, Hydle and Motley tied the game 4-all. That got Catholic's attention, but it was a devastating Kiki Bogart double to deep left field that drove in Hydle that what ended up being the winning run. A fielding error and a hit batter put two Lady Crusaders runners on base, looking primed to sneak past Walton for re- verse-comeback win in the bottom of the seventh but the Lady Braves were hav- ing none of it, turning an expert 6-4-3 double play to end the game. Hydle walked four bat- ters, struck out seven and gave up six hits in a com- plete game. Jackson led the team at the plate, go- ing 2-for-3 with a double and single to her credit, though she got on with a walk in her first at bat. The runner-up Braves will travel -to Madison County to face the Cow- girls at 6 p.m. on Thurs- day, April 25. Team Notes: Walton did not do well in three games against the Bulldogs this season as they were out- scored 41-1 by Marianna. The Braves are 0-2 in the softball playoffs with both losses coming to Mari- anna in 2006 and 2007. The Lady Braves athletic program has qualified for the playoffs in basketball, volleyball and softball this school year. Walton has only accomplished that feat only one other time, in 2007, since fast-pitch softball began statewide in 1994. The Lady Braves are the current reigning district champions in vol- leyball and basketball. Sophomore second base- man Kayla Jackson has played on all three playoff teams at the school this season. WALTON SENIOR CATCHER TREASA HERNDON(7) had the Braves only hit in a 10-0 loss to Marianna in the District 1, Class 4A title game on April 18. The Lady Braves will travel to Madison County on Thursday to take part in an opening round softball state playoff game, their first since the 2007 season.

"Our guys were excited," said head coach Todd Monken. "With 15 practices, you're just trying to get to where you play good football. That's really what you're trying to do. Get the guys to play hard and understand as- signments and alignment. That's really what you're trying to accomplish." Freeport High School graduate Cole Weeks and Kyle Sloter each played for both teams. Weeks con- nected on 26-of-41 for 310 yards and an interception,, while Sloter was 13-of-23 for 161 yards. The Ponce de Leon soft- ball team saw their 2013 season come to a close as Sneads rallied for four runs in their final at-bat to defeat the Pirates 6-5 in a District 3, Class A tournament semi-final. Sneads trailed 5-2 enter- ing the bottom of the sev- enth inning but Shelbi Byler doubled in a pair of her teammates to tie the game and later scored the winning run on Emily Glover's ground ball that was mishandled by the Pi- rates for the game-winner. Brooke Williams got the win for Sneads as she al- lowed seven hits and one walk with six strikeouts. The Pirates ended the year under coach Chris Carroll with a 10-11 mark. The contest marked the final game for seniors Ashley Harper, JoJo Carlson, De- siree Rushing qnd Holly Parson.

Just like at the district meet, the top four finish- ers in each event earned a berth to state meet, and Moore's three second- spot finishes in the high jump, 110-meter hurdles and 400-meter dash and a third-place finish in the long jump more than met that criteria. He set a mark of 6-04 feet in the high jump and 21-09.75 mark in the long jump, plus a 15.20-second run on the 110 hurdles and 49.07 personal best on the 400.

Troy swept the Sun Belt Conference weekly baseball honors as Danny Collins was named Player of the Week and Tanner Hicks was tabbed Pitcher of the Week, the league office announced Monday. Collins and Hicks helped lead the Trojans to a per- fect 5-0 week with a pair of mid-week victories over Alabama A&M and a sweep of UALR in Sun Belt play over the week- end. Troy sits 29-11 on the season and 11-7 in the Sun Belt; the Trojans enter the week tied for second in the league and are just a game out of first place. Collins, a junior from Niceville, hit seven doubles in Troy's five games last week to go along with a :455 batting average, eight runs scored, a home run, seven RBIs, a .909 slugging percentage, a .500 on-base percentage and a 1.409 OPS. Troy's right fielder struck out just one time in 24 plate appearances and had mul- tiple hits in four of the five games. Collins now has 21 doubles, two triples, nine home runs, 55 RBIs and a 1.234 OPS this season. His 21 doubles already rank as the sixth most in a sea- son in Troy history and he is on pace for 76 RBIs (in 55 regular season games); that RBI total would es- tablish a new Troy school record.

A Walton County Board of County Com- missioners (BCC) spe- cial meeting and ex- ecutive session took place on that afternoon at the Walton County Courthouse. The only item on the agenda was a proposed settlement from BP for economic losses experienced by the county and South Walton Tourist Devel- opment Council (TDC) as a result of the BP oil spill. The date of the meet- ing was one day short of the three-year anniver- sary of the disastrous event. Drake Martin, an at- torney representing the TDC in its BP claim, told the commissioners that BP had offered to settle the claim by pay- ing $5.37 million to the tourism council. This was to be on top of the $2.4 million partial set- tlement that had been paid to the TDC in April 2011 for bed tax losses incurred in 2010.

However, the item was continued to May 1, due to the committee having received a large number of comments on the ap- plication from county staff and from the pub- lic. This is considered a minor development or- der application. The school, which has approximately 30 students, opened in Blue Mountain Beach in fall 2012 after previ- ously operating at the Market Shops of Sand- estin. The new building is 2,560 square feet in size. The county is requir- ing an after-the-fact development order ap- plication for the facil- ity, due to the previous development order ob- tained having been for a single-family home.

"It is very fair," Mar- tin told the commis- sioners. However, the matter was complicated by the fact that BP had linked the proposed TDC settlement offer with an offer to settle the county's claim re- garding economic loss- es. This was despite at- tempts by the attorneys representing the county and TDC to separate the offers. The decision confronting the commis- sioners was to accept or reject both parts of the settlement offer. "The offer is all or nothing," Martin said.

Osborne files ethics complaint against county commissioner By DOTTY NIST An ethics complaint has been filed against Walton County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) Vice Chair Sara Comander by Driftwood Estates resident Alan Osborne. Over the past eight years, Osborne has of- ten addressed the BCC regarding problems in the Driftwood Estates subdivision, among those flooding in the subdivision and the closing off of the road that had previously pro- vided an alternative to Driftwood Estates' one entrance/exit road. In connection with these and related issues, Os- borne and other Drift- wood homeowners have filed lawsuits against the county, some of which are pending. Among other conten- tions, in his complaint Osborne alleges that Comander violated Florida ethics law and the state constitution by preventing him from speaking at public meetings or attending meetings with state of- ficials by "blocking ad- vertisements of public meetings" in order to "stop his attendance." As evidence, a copy of June 9, 2011 email from Comander to then-Wal- ton County Attorney Lynn Hoshihara is pro- vided. The email dis- plays a notice of a series of state Department of Community Affairs (DCA) growth manage- ment workshops sched- uled for various areas of the state later that month, along with the note from Comander to Hoshihara, "We don't need to announce that DCA will be in (De- Funiak Springs) on July 5th or Allen Osborne will be there!" In a copy of a Feb. 22, 2012 email exchange between Comander and Hoshihara that is included with the com- plaint, Comander pro- vides the information that Osborne has come before the BCC a total of 50 times, beginning in May 2005. As part of the com- plaint, Osborne includes a copy of an April 30, 2009 article from the Walton Sun reporting a "heated debate" be- tween county commis- sioners and Osborne at the April 28, 2009 BCC meeting. The article further reports that Co- mander told Osborne, who had been on the agenda to speak, that he would not be allowed to do so. In addition to other charges, Osborne also alleges that Comander "knowingly violated" Florida Statute 380 by voting to issue building permits for the Drift- wood property while in possession of a "letter of violation" from the state Department of Envi- ronmental Protection. A copy of the Nov. 29, 2011 DEP noncompli- ance letter is attached to the complaint. In the communication, DEP Environmental Super- visor Kenneth Dickey informs engineer Da- vid Campbell that his development project in Driftwood Estates "mnay be in violation" of cer- tain Florida statutes. Florida Statute 380 provides that local gov- ernments are not to issue permits if a de- veloper "fails to act in substantial compliance with the development order." Contacted on April 22, Comander declined comment on the com- plaint except to say that she is bound by the rules of the Florida Commission on Ethics not to discuss the mat- ter. The Florida Commis- sion on Ethics has not made a decision at this time as to whether the complaint will be inves- tigated. 1 0 PAGE 1-C THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS H 2013 South Walton County Mosquito Control District wrestles with Public Records Act By BEN GRAFTON At the April 16 monthly meeting of thq South Walton County Mosquito Control Dis- trict Board (SWCMCD), Director Ben Brewer re- ported that revenues for March from local sourc- es were at 92 percent and that expenditures of these funds were at 43 percent of budgeted amounts. State funds received were at, 30 per- cent of budget with no expenditures. Brewer reported that some spraying was done in March and that tests results of samples taken from chickens gave two positives for west Nile virus and one positive for eastern equine en- cephalitis virus (EEE). Board Attorney Rene Youell reported that a draft public records policy for SWCMCD has been prepared from the policy used by the tax collector's office and that the only thing that was changed was- the section having to do with charges for com- puter generated infor- mation. The proposed charge to be used by SWCMCD could be, "up to $150," to acquire cop- ies of public records if it was necessary to have someone to come in to do the work. Otherwise the draft proposal just tracks the statute. Hudson said, "I don't want to give people the impression that they can come in here and get the whole thing [copy all SWCMCD records to a computer disk or flash drive] for $150 because we could expend weeks of time, as the county has, on some public re- cords requests. ...I want to be responsive to the public ...if it's something that can be produced in a timely manner, then we do that. If it's some- thing that takes more than 30 minutes of time, we estimate what those times are and then do not do the search until they bring a check here as a deposit. ... if we use up the amount of the deposit, then we tell them that we have used up the deposit and they need to bring us an- other one. ...I think this would avoid very, very broad requests that are what I call 'fishing expe- ditions."' Hudson added that he does not want a policy that requires a response within 24 hours of receiving the request. Youell agreed that fees could be justi- fied when charges for personnel time are analyzed. She recom- mended that a form be required for making a request for public re- cords and that a log of OUTDOOR EVENTS IN WALTON COUNTY AND THE SURROUNDING AREA FOR FEB. 28 MARCH 7 WALTON COUNTY TO HOST FIXED PRICE YARD SALE & SILENT AUCTION OF SURPLUS APRIL 27 In an effort to rid the county of surplus items and free up space in county facilities, Walton County will be host- ing a fixed price yard sale on Saturday, April 27 from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the County Landfill located at SR 83 North, four miles outside of DeFuniak Springs by the state prison.

She also recom- mended that when an "in-person examination of records" takes place then an employee must be present at all time during the examina- tion. Hudson expressed concern about the dif- ficulty of capturing text messages which become public records cov- ered by the law. Some counties have turned off the text messaging feature on their equip- ment to avoid having to deal with this problem. Youell advised that text messages must be pre- served by SWCMCD staff. In a change of subject the board approved the monthly check register. Brewer announced a plan, weather permit- ting, to treat all storm drains over the next three weeks. There are 47 miles of ditches in the district. Because the cost runs to $4 per drain and there are thousands of drains in the district this will be a big cost item. Brewer requested board approval to re- place two pieces of plas- tic culvert piping at the intersection of two ditches. Cost of the pipe will be $1,200. The ex- pense would be charged to the miscellaneous ex- pense line item. In the discussion about this expense, office manager Geraldine Via advised the board that there was only one formal easement for the ditch- es. The board approved a motion to give Brewer authority to purchase ditch maintenance sup- plies so long as costs are not out of line with bud- get estimates. Brewer informed the board that staff has presented educa- tional programs using face masks fitted with drinking straws and coloring books to help school children under- stand how mosquitoes feed. The children at the Seaside School may be an audience for this program. The computer soft- ware for vehicle fleet maintenance has been installed and is up and running. According to Brewer, six months of historical maintenance data have been entered into the system. SWCMCD staff will provide an educational display including cap- tured live mosquitoes, gnats and perhaps even a few gallinippers ("...a large mosquito that has developed an outsized reputation because of its relatively intimidat- ing heft and persistent biting behavior..." ac- cording to the Univer- sity of Florida) for the April 20 Earth Day ac- tivities at Topsail Park. Commissioner Tim Norris reported that an 18-call test to no- tify households in south Walton of sched- uled SWCMCD spray- ing using the Sheriffs Robo[tic] Caller was successful. A short discussion ensued about terminat- ing the contract with HR Solutions, the com- pany represented by Lane Rees. Hudson said that he doesn't mind paying what the dis- trict owes for services furnished, but that he wants to start over and find another firm to fin- ish the pay scale proj- ect. Brewer will check for other providers to do this work. If none can be found, SWCMCD will advertise for a provider to finish this project. The' board asked Youell to check into rules governing how many commissioners can attend a forum or town hall style meeting hosted by another gov- ernment official without violating the Sunshine Law. Code Enforcement Board votes to recommend release of fines By DOTTY NIST The Walton Coun- ty Code Enforcement board has voted to rec- ommend forgiveness of $64,464 in fines on Lot 2 of the Eagle's Land- ing subdivision in Inlet Beach. The decision took place at the board's April 18 meeting at the South Walton Court- house Annex. The code board mem- bers had previously rec- ommended forgiveness of similar code enforce- ment fines on a number of other lots in the small subdivision, and those recommendations later received final approval by the Walton County Board of County Com- missioners (BCC). Until recently, par- tially-completed homes in the subdivision had sat abandoned for many years, becoming dere- lict through weathering and vandalism. Owners of the homes, many of them Ohio residents, had been charged with code violations due to the homes standing un- secured and due to junk and debris on the lots. Fines on a number of the homes have been re- leased on the condition of new purchasers pay- ing $1,500 to the county in administrative fees, having the homes in- spected to ensure struc- tural soundness, and correcting code viola- tions within a 90-day period. These were also the conditions for re- lease of the fines on Lot 2, with the board's rec- ommendation to come before the BCC for con- sideration. In other business, Code Enforcement Offi- cer Jason Catalano told the board members that the two cases scheduled for that evening would not be heard due to one property having been brought into compliance a couple of days ear- lier (83 S. 13th Street, Santa Rosa Beach), and the registered agent for the other property hav- ing changed, requiring a new notification pro- cedure (50 S. Holiday Road, Miramar Beach). As previously re- quested by Code En- forcement Board mem- ber Richard Fowlkes, board members were provided with a written update on the status of cases, which showed that compliance had been achieved in all but a few cases heard since 2010. A status update on code board cases is now available on the Walton County website, www.co.walton.fl.us by selecting, "Depart- ments," "Planning and Development Services," "Code Enforcement," and "Code Enforcement Case Status."

THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 2013 PAGE 2-C THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, APRIL 25,2013 PAGE 3-C Odom gets federal prison for felony election offense HIDE, LOCK AND TAKE signs are showing up to remind Walton County motorists to take precautions against theft. Hide, Lock, and Take puts a new spin on crime prevention techniques Jay Odom, 56, of Destin, was sentenced Tuesday, April 23 by Senior U.S. District Judge Lacey A. Collier to six months in federal prison for his conviction on one count of causing a presidential campaign committee to make a false statement to the Federal Election Com- mission (FEC). Addi- tionally, Collier ordered Odom to pay a fine of $46,000 and a special monetary assessment of $100 for the felony conviction. The sen- tencing was announced Tuesday by Acting As- sistant Attorney Gener- al Mythili Raman of the Justice Department's Criminal Division and Robert 0. Davis, acting United States Attorney for the Northern Dis- trict of Florida. According to court documents, in approxi- mately December 2007, Odom directly and indi- rectly solicited employ- ees of his business en- titles and their family members to each make the maximum allowable contributions to the au- thorized campaign com- mittee of a presidential candidate. The employ- ees were encouraged to make these donations with the understanding that Odom would ad- vance funds to or reim- burse these individuals for their contributions. During his guilty plea on February 12, 2013, Odom admitted to both knowing that this ac- tivity was illegal and intending to conceal the true source and amount of the campaign contri- butions. In 2007, Odom di- rectly or indirectly used personal funds to reimburse individual contributions to the authorized campaign committee of the presi- dential candidate for a total of $23,000. As a result of this scheme, Odom intentionally caused the presidential ODOM ODOM candidate's authorized campaign committee to file a report with the FEC that falsely stated that 10 individual do- nors had made federal campaign contributions when in fact each con- tribution was made by Odom. This case was inves- tigated by the FBI and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Randall J. Hensel and Trial At- torney Brian K. Kidd of the Criminal Division's Public Integrity Sec- tion. The Walton County Sheriffs Office (WCSO) is always looking for ways to keep its citi- zens and visitors safe. Now the deputies and investigators are urging folks to "Hide, Lock, and Take" your items from your vehicle, meaning: hide your things, lock your car, and take your keys. It is a common sense approach to re- mind visitors and resi- dents in our county to protect their belongings and prevent themselves from becoming a victim of a crime. The program involves placing signs in parking lots of busi- ness in our county and members of the Crime Prevention Unit are willing to speak to busi- nesses and organiza- tions about how this program works. "Hide, Lock and Take" was started by Texas Auto Burglary and Theft Prevention Authority and the Cen- tral Business District (Dallas). The city of Dallas, Texas even ad- opted a local ordinance requiring all properties with more than 100 parking spaces to place them on their property. In the fast-growing city of Frisco, Texas the signs were first put up in 2007 and a recent analysis by the Frisco Police Department con- cluded that the holiday season vehicle burglar- ies in the town's busy shopping district had dropped 87 percent since the program be- gan. With the permission of local businesses, the signs would be placed in the parking lot of the business by a member of our Civilian Volunteer Posse unit. The posse unit member will meet to discuss the number of signs needed and the location of the signs. It is the hope of the WCSO that businesses will take advantage of this free program and become our partners in crime fighting. To par- ticipate in this crime prevention program, contact Lt. Danny Gar- ner at (850) 892-8186 or dgarner@waltonso.org.

THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, APRIL 25,2013 Flipping through a photo album from de- cades prior, most peo- ple cringe to see their outdated hairstyles, clothing, or make-up- the proverbial blast from the past. Whether mullets and tie-dye, or blue eye shadow and shoulder pads, respec- tive past selves can be embarrassing. The outward appearance, however, often pales in comparison to an intro- spective examination- what we have said and done can be a brutal re- flection. For a writer, that statement stands even more true as errors are immortalized in print and digital archives. (In a past article about edu- cation and proper gram- mar, I used the wrong version of "principle"- a simple error, but misusing a homonym in an English lesson is like serving steak at a vegan conference where everyone knows you're the brain-dead chef). What if everyone's mistakes were archived like old newspaper cop- ies, and at any given time a person could en- ter the library of our er- rors and skim through the chapters of bad de- cisions? (I have a feel- ing there would be a lot of book burnings and bannings. C.S. Lewis once said that we read to know we are not alone and in the bibliotheque of blun- ders, we may discover similarities to our own in others' stories. From this, we can draw sol- ace; however, the great- er purpose of knowledge is wisdom.

What if the light-bulb in the bathroom burned out and instead of replacing it, we simply carried on fixing our hair and put- ting on make-up in the dark? The same prin- ciple (got it right this time) is true for many of our methods-they become ineffective and burn out, but instead of replacing them, we carry on in the dark- ness of willful igno- rance (then leave home with smeared lipstick or cowlicks and wonder why strangers give us the stink-eye). Because so many habits occur on auto-pi- lot, we have to resume the driver's seat of our lives. As comedian Katt Williams phrases it,. be concerned with your star player. Before we can become our own star player, we must first break those ugly, ineffective habits, by acknowledging their trigger. Every habit occurs in a pattern: a cue (finished eating), followed by a certain behavior (having a cig- arette), resulting in a reward (nicotine high) which cements a new pathway that encour- ages us to repeat the behavior (smoke after every meal). Some of us have so many triggers, we could open a gun parts shop, while others' simply 'have- one, but when pressed you find out it's attached to an M-16. Whether we're pack- ing a .44 Magnum, Dirty Harry style, or the equivalent of a Nerf air-gun, the question isn't whose hand is on the trigger, but wheth- er we should be carry- ing a gun in the first place.

The school site is slightly over one-half acre in size and is in a Village Mixed Use land use area. The school utilizes a combined hands-on and traditional educational approach, serving Pre- K through fifth grade students. All grade lev- els are reported at ca- pacity enrollment and school administration has stated that there is a waiting list for parents wanting to get their children into the academy. Despite that success, the opening of the school at its new location cre- ated some friction in the Blue Mountain Beach community. Speaking briefly at the April 17 TRC meeting, Rich- ard Fowlkes, president of the Blue Mountain Beach Community As- sociation, outlined some issues that had been raised about the school. He noted that there are no signs alerting motor- ists to the school's pres- ence---and that he has observed as many as a dozen cars parked in the right-of-way in front of the school at times. Fowlkes commented, as well, on a safety issue due to children crossing between the school and Redfish Village, where no crosswalk exists. Fowlkes said that some people in the com- munity feel that the half-acre property is too small for all require- ments for a school to be met, among those park- ing. He added, however, "If they could do it on that lot, we'd be fine with it." The county has indi- cated that a review of all aspects of the facility will accompany the de- velopment order appli- cation process, includ- ing traffic and parking issues. In other action at the April 17 TRC meeting, the committee granted conditional approval for a 1,631-square-foot addition, which is to in- clude a laundry serving rentals, to the Beach Rentals of South Wal- ton office. The office is located on the north side of the CR-30A/ Lakewood Drive inter- section. Conditionally ap- proved, as well, was an application for the downsizing of the previously-approved Enchanted Place de- velopment order. The project is to consist of a 3,297-square-foot building containing a medical office and two condominiums at 4164 CR-30A. The latter two pro- posals were considered minor development or- der applications and, as such, came under the TRC's purview for final approval. A third item re- viewed, a Verizon com- munications tower proposed for a 30-acre parcel at 1'73 CR-2A north of the bay, also received conditional ap- proval from the TRC but will also be required to undergo review by the Walton County Plan- ning Commission and Walton County Board of County Commission- ers. Continued to the May 1 TRC meeting were Burnt Pine Villas and Osprey Point, both minor developments proposed for Sandestin Resort. The May 1 TRC meeting is scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m. and take place at the South Walton Annex. THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 2013 I Ar t lips 0-Y. lIIILI'17 ( (it t Shattering previous year's records and becoming the nation's largest smooth jazz fes- tival, the Seabreeze Jazz Festival once again took Panama City Beach and the Emerald Coast by storm. Fans rolled in from across the nation to enjoy the smooth jazz sounds, and so did millions of dollars in tourist revenue. WSBZ 106.3 radio brought thousands in for a five-day blast of smooth jazz and Grammy Award- winning entertainers. The ladies of Jazz In Pink, Boney James, the seduc- tive vocals of Margo Rey and classic tunes from Brian Culbertson had thousands swaying to the music, standing in the rain, and waiting in line for hours, just to get a glimpse of their favorite smooth jazz recording art- ist. The Thursday and Friday night shows are typically not has well-at- tended as the all-day Sat- urday and Sunday night shows, but not this year. Though an accurate count has not yet been made, at least 6,000 ticket holders crowded Pier Park's Aaron Bessant Park to hear the first of more than two doz- en groups and artists dur- ing the five -day event. The week's excitement got kicked off on April 17, with the Smooth Jazz Dinner Cruise' on -the Lady Anderson, featuring entertainment by Brian Culbertson. As before, the cruise was a sell out! After the typical one- day rain storm, which this year happened on Friday night near the conclusion of the day's concerts, the rest of the weekend was filled with cooler temperatures and bright blue skies. And if anyone thought there were crowds on Thursday and Friday evening, they must have been shocked to see what came around on the last two days of the jazz festival. Saturday's lineup fea- tured. L.A.'s DW3, Euge Groove, Peter White, Bri- an Culberston once again, Rick Braun, Kirk Whalum and Norman Brown. It be- come very clear, very ear- ly in the day, that there would be a complete sell- out, and that is exactly what happened. More than 7,500 tickets were bought and the gates were closed for the rest of the day, be- cause there was simply no more room! Sunday, though not a complete sell-out, had more than 7,000 ticket holders jammed on the field, to hear groups like the Peet. Project, the Av- erage White Band, Jazz in Pink, Joey Sommer- ville, Yancyy, Eirc Essix, Roman Street and head- liner Tower of Power. The groups had people on their feet, singing, bouncing hundreds of beach balls that the radio station re- leased, and just listening to the music that remind- ed everyone of where they were. It wasn't only the fans that were amazed to see people crowded on to the field and waiting in lines for the gates to open, (some began standing in line for the gates to open, as early as 1 a.m., for the 10 a.m. gate opening). So were the musicians. Some of the same musicians that had people fighting for their autographs and pic- tures were also full-time employees in a completely different field. During Sunday night's concert, I had the chance to talk with jazz violin-, ist Michael Ward. To my surprise, he is a sheriffs deputy in Orleans Parish, La., where he works and lives full time. Despite his incredible talent, Ward said that not all music festivals and concerts are as profitable as the Seabreeze Jazz Fes- tival. If he had any other job besides performing on stage, it would have to be putting on the badge and being a cop. He said both bring him joy, and a sense of being there to help peo- ple. On Sunday, the final day of the jazz festival, the group Roman Street did what they set out to do - entertain. Discovered only six years ago (by yours tru- ly and WSBZ owner and festival promoter, Mark Carter) the two brothers and three other musicians have quickly climbed the charts all over the world. Touring all over the world with their eclectic blend of Caribbean and old world sounds, they not only capture smooth jazz, .\ FROM FINE ART, to handcrafted furniture and jewelry, the summer West Indies Markets will host more than 60 artists, every second weekend, from May to July. The first market is May 11 and 12. For more information, or for a vendor packet, log on to www.hilltopproductionsinc.com., or call 850-951-2148. but leave the audience speechless. Roman Street has become a top audience pleaser, and with their youth and amazing style of performance, all races, ages and genres seemed to have taken them in and made them their own. This year, Carter also introduced the Peet Proj- ect. A group of musicians hailing from Hungary, they are on the fast track to winning the hearts and ears of America. They be- gan their U.S. tour at the Seabreeze Jazz Festival, and will be making their way across the country with their unique, Euro- pean-style of music. Odd- ly enough, their style of music is not even played on radio stations in their country, so they had to wait to get to the United States to hear their sound on the radio. Not only did the new stage come alive all week during the festival, so did the other features that were related to the festi- val, including the Interna- tional Food Court and the Seabreeze International Market. Both sponsored by Hilltop Productions, more than 75 artists, crafters and food vendors, from around the world sold everything from beau- tiful copper and metal jazz musician sculptures and one-of-a-kind paintings, to some of the most exotic foods and dishes that this part of the country has ever had the opportunity of sampling. Figures and the finan- cial impact of this past week's festival, had not been tallied as of time this article was-being printed, but it has been suggested as nearly $18-$20 mil- lion. This figure (which also breaks all previous records) could be coming after the Panama City Beach Visitors Center and the Chamber of Commerce collect sales receipts for heads in beds, shopping, dining, lodging, and other services that were used by those attending the festi- val. There is also a side-note to this article. This event, and every event that made up the five-day event, was ticketed. That means peo- ple were paying $85 per day for a one-day ticket pass, $200 for a four-day pass, $150 for a three-day pass, $575 for VIP ticket (sold out), and $7,000 for a corporate table (all 10 tables sold out).

Conerly noted that various provisions of the law, known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 or "Obamacare," have already gone into effect, with more set to do so over the next two years. Conerly reported that, beginning this year, employers were required to start with- holding an extra 0.9 percent in Medicare taxes on employee earn- ings over $200,000. Em- ployers, she said, are not required to match that extra payment but continue to pay 1.45 percent on all earnings. Conerly warned that new health care cover- age reporting require- ments resulting from the new law would "cre- ate a flood of paperwork issue." Beginning in the 2012 tax year, em- ployers who filed 250 or more W-2 forms for 2011 must report em- ployer-provided health care coverage costs on W-2 forms. Also, em- ployers must provide an annual summary of benefits and coverage to employees on group health plan renewals. Conerly explained that, beginning in Jan- uary 2013, the new law resulted in the elimi- nation of the previ- ously-existing income tax deduction for the Medicare Part D retiree drug subsidy payments received from the fed- eral government. Also beginning this year, a $2,500 limit was set'on employee contributions to Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) on a plan year basis, rather than employers setting these limits. Beginning on Jan. 1, 2014, Conerly revealed, the employer mandate provision of the law is scheduled to become ef- fective. This is known as the "pay or play" provision. Although the law does not require employers to provide health insurance, Con- erly explained, it does' impose penalties on them in some circum- stances if they do not provide health care cov- erage to their employ- ees. The penalties apply only to employers with 50 or more full-time employees or the equiv- alent. For purposes of the law, full-time is defined as working 30 hours a week. If they do not provide health care coverage, these employ- ers may be required to pay a penalty of $2,000 per full-time employee in excess of 30 employ- ees. The penalty is trig- gered by an' employee receiving a premium tax credit when buying insurance from a health insurance exchange. Employers provid- ing health care cover- age may also encounter penalties if the insur- ance is deemed unaf- fordable to employees. In this case, penalties come into effect if the insurance does not cov- er at least 60 percent of health care expenses for the typical population, or if the employee's in- surance premium ex- ceeds 9.5 percent of the employee's household income. Conerly was critical of the latter require- ment, pointing out that employers would not have information on employees' household income. She urged for em- ployers to begin think- ing about and preparing for "pay or play," which is likely, to result in hundreds of billions in penalties. Conerly said her firm is recommend- ing that companies stay under the threshold of 50 full-time equivalents (FTEs) It is possible under the law for busi- nesses to pick a period during which the num- ber of FTEs is mea- sured, she noted, which may be helpful to some employers. She recom- mended that business owners begin a dialog with their insurance ad- visors and CPAs about this provision.. The remaining key consideration for em- players is a provision enabling some small businesses to qualify for tax credits by purchas- ing coverage through their state exchanges. This provision applies to businesses with less than 25 FTEs, who must also meet other require- ments. After this year, these credits are to be available for only two years, beginning with the first year the em- ployer offers insurance coverage through an ex- change. Conerly added that the law's mandate for individuals to obtain health care insurance kicks in in 2014. There are exemptions, she not- ed, including some sur- prising categories. Ex- emptions exist for those covered by Medicare or Medicaid, for incarcer- ated undocumented aliens, for members of Indian tribes, and for people of certain reli- gious faiths.

Bay area food bank participates in national hunger study Bay Area Food Bank, in partnership with Feeding America, is participating in the national Hunger in America 2014 study. This study will take an in-depth look at food bank clients in an ef- fort to find ways to bet- ter serve those in need. The data collected will capture detailed infor- mation about those re- ceiving emergency food assistance and their circumstances. This information will be an invaluable resource for charitable feeding orga- nizations that they will be able to use to develop programs to best sup- port those struggling with hunger. Volunteers will be crucial to help conduct the study which will visit more than 30 food pantries in the Florida area while conducting client surveys. Bay Area Food Bank, part of the Feed- ing America network, is participating in the study along with nearly 200 other food banks across the coun- try. When completed, Hunger in America 2014 will be the larg- est study of charitable food assistance in the United States, provid- ing comprehensive and statistically-valid data on the charitable food distribution system and the people being served by the Feeding America network. The last study, Hun- ger in America 2010, re- sulted in an extremely detailed report, draw- ing on data from more than 61,000 interviews with clients and sur- veys of 37,000 feeding agencies.

Topsail Hill Preserve State Park hosts fifth annual Walton County Earth Day CHOCTAWHATCHEE BASINALLIANCE members constructed a glue by numbers display using discarded items found on the beach. Story and photos by JEFFREY POWELL I Clear blue skies and a brisk north wind greet- ed visitors to the fifth annual Walton County Earth Day Festival on Saturday, April 20. The event was held around a pond at the Depart- ment of Environmental Protection's Topsail Hill Preserve State Park. The morning started with an ocean hour beach clean-up which allowed volunteers to pick up trash along the park's beautiful Gulf of Mexico shoreline. At the end of the day a 5K race was held with a post-race celebration including a star gazing opportunity led by the Northwest Florida As- tronomy Association. "I am very happy with everyone's partici- pation this year," said event -coordinator UF/ IFAS Florida Sea grant Marine Science Agent Brooke Saari. "We have some new vendors and a lot of the old faithful ones as well. Also the race has drawn more runners this year than ever before." Festival visitors were able to see 25 exhibition booths concerning envi- ronmental and wildlife subject matters. Several hikes were also sched- uled throughout the day so attendees could enjoy the park's beauty firsthand. During the afternoon two cooking workshops were held. Plans are already un- derway for next year's festival. THE FLORIDA FISH AND WILDLIFE reptile display caught the these young visitors.

Attorneys from Beasley Allen and eye of Adkinson Law Firm i G jif I vl,: 1 !r"A, mi SOUTH WALTON MOSQUITO CONTROL DISTRICT representatives Ben Brewer (1) and Geraldine Via speak to visitors. were also present at the special meeting. Martin said he was not privy to the amount offered in the county portion of the pro- posed settlement. That amount was not pub- licly disclosed. Martin reported that Bay County had recent- ly accepted a combined two-part settlement of- fer of $9.6 million to the county and $5.7 million to its TDC. This was in addition to $2.5 million received by Bay Coun- ty's TDC in 2010. Martin cautioned the Walton County commis- sioners that if they did not accept BP's offer, there was "a substantial risk" that the TDC por- tion of the offer would "go away." He added that accep- tance of the settlement would not affect funds coming to the county through the NRDA pro- gram or the RESTORE Act. The commissioners went into closed execu- tive session to discuss BP's offer. Upon their return to public session, they ap- proved motions to reject the county portion of the settlement and autho- rize a lawsuit to be filed in connection with the county's portion of the claim. Also approved was a motion to accept BP's settlement offer to the TDC, to be accom- panied by a release of that part of the claim upon BP's acceptance. An additional motion was approved to autho- rize a lawsuit on behalf of the TDC in connec- tion with its portion of the claim in the event that BP did not agree to the partial settlement. All motions were unanimous. In response to a question, Mark Davis, interim county attor- ney, clarified that Wal- ton County has been participating along with multiple counties in a lawsuit against BP. The new litigation authorized would be in- dividual lawsuits filed against BP by Walton County, he explained.
