County commissioners discuss possible

Morrison Springs admission fees


By REID TUCKER
The Walton County
Board of Commission-
ers agreed after a brain-
storming session to look
at how other state parks
are run before it makes
a decision whether or
not to charge admission
to Morrison Springs.
The board held an
open public workshop
on Wednesday, May 1,
in which it weighed the
pros and cons of charg-
ing visitors for access
to the park, eventually
directing county staff
to reach out to similar
parks around Florida
for guidance on the is-
sue. St. Andrews State
Park in Panama City
Beach and Ponce De
Leon Springs were
brought up as two
nearby parks that faced
similar questions re-
garding entrance fees,
with both the former
and the latter opting


for charging admission.
Commissioner Sara Co-
mander was quick to
point out, however, that
the board's aim was not
to charge admission as
a money-making ven-
ture for the county, but
rather to help ease the
burden on taxpayers
for maintenance of the
Springs.
"I am not set on charg-
ing. a fee," Comander
said. "I'm set on it cost-
ing the taxpayers less
than $100,000 a year to
maintain [the park]. It's
not about charging peo-
ple, it's about helping to
maintain the park for as
low a cost as possible."
The state of Flori-
da acquired Morrison
Springs in 2004, with
Walton County taking
over management of
the 161-acre park a few
years later on a 99-year
lease. The county then
embarked on a wide-'

By DOTTY NIST
County commission-
ers recently took on
a complicated topic,
that of fire protection
in Walton County and
how those services
are funded. This was
at an April. 29 special
meeting at the Walton
County Courthouse in
DeFuniak Springs.
In August 2012, the
Walton County Board of
County Commissioners
(BCC) had tasked con-
sultants Government
Services Group (GSG)
and Nabors Giblin &
Nickerson with study-
ing the county's fire as-
sessment program and
providing recommenda-
tions for an update of
the program. Their task
included study of other
entities providing fire
protection throughout
the county and their
funding sources. Ca-
mille Tharpe of GSG
addressed the commis-
sioners at the April 29
meeting with findings
and options for updat-
ing the program.
The fire assessment
program furnishes fund-
ing for Walton County
Fire Rescue, which
provides fire protection
and emergency medical
services (EMS) in Pax-
ton, and in the unincor-
porated areas north of


CAMILLE THARPE of Governnent Services Group provides findings and recommendations to county
commissioners for an update of the county's assessment program for funding of Walton County Fire Res-
cue. (Photo by Dotty Nist)


the bay, for areas other
than those covered 'by
Freeport, DeFuniak
Springs, and the Argyle
and Liberty special fire
protection districts.
Tharpe told the com-
missioners that Walton
County had implement-
ed assessments for fire
services in the 1997-98
fiscal year. In the 2003-
04 fiscal year, she ex-
plained, the assessment
program was updated,
relying on better data
that had been obtained
by the county, and new
assessment categories
were created. In 2007-
08, Tharpe recalled, the
BCC again asked con-
sultants for an update
of the program but opt-
ed not to move forward
with that update.


In contrast with
funding from the coun-
ty's general fund, as-
sessments are a method
of funding services that
are provided to a spe-
cific area which benefits
from those services and
from which payment
going toward those ser-
vices is assessed.
Tharpe explained re-
quirements for assess-
ments, which include
that it provide a "special
benefit" to property and
that it be apportioned
in a fair and reasonable
manner. She said the
most widely adopted
method for apportion-
ment of assessments is
"historical demand" or
the number of initial
calls for service. In this
methology, Tharpe not-


ed, one rate is used for
single-family structures
regardless of size.
Assessment is al-
lowed for funding of
fire services but not
EMS services, Tharpe
explained, and calls for
EMS service were fac-
tored out in evaluating
demand.
Tharpe gave an over-
view of the five other
entities other than Wal-
ton County Fire Rescue
that provide fire protec-
tion services to various
areas of the county,
not including Eglin
Air Force Base, which
was not included in the
study.
South Walton Fire
District (SWFD) is an
independent special
fire district, composed


of the area south of the
bay and Intracoastal
Waterway, which is em-
powered to levy up to 1
mill in ad valorem tax-
es on properties within
the district. The SWFD
is provider for both fire
protection and EMS ser-
vices in south Walton
County. In the current
fiscal year, the county
furnished the SWFD
with $652,287 toward
funding for EMS ser-
vices
Liberty Fire District
is an independent spe-
cial fire control district
which levies non-ad
valorem special assess-
ments in its service
area. Annually, $25 is
levied for residential

THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, MAY 9,2013


FEES
However, occasional
bouts of vandalism in
recent years and the
ever-present need for
water quality tests plus
the usual wear-and-tear
on facilities at the park,
frequented for years by
divers and swimmers
from throughout the
Southeast, has driven
up maintenance costs
considerably, the com-
missioners said.
Though major prob-
lems with vandalism
were more or less suc-
cessfully curbed by the
Walton County Sheriffs
Office's installation of
a security camera sys-
tem, the commission-
ers discussed the ben-
efits of bringing in an
outside vendor to keep
an eye on things dur-
ing hours of operation.
Vendors could also sell
air to scuba divers, rent
canoes or kayaks and
sell food and beverages,
with a percentage of
revenues going back to
the county to help cover
upkeep at the Springs.
Melinda Wickham, who
owned and operated
a business catering to
divers and swimmers at
the park from 1980 un-
til 2001, spoke in favor
of having a vendor at
the Springs for all the
above reasons.
"You do want some-
one there that can over-


CONTINUEDD FROM PAGE 1-A


see people coming and
going," Wickham said.
"We found that once
we had somebody there
most of the time that
there was no vandal-
ism."
Commissioner Bill
Chapman, formerly of
the WCSO, said he did
not recommend that
a civilian vendor take
over the task of try-
ing to keep control of a
"rowdy bunch" of visi-
tors, though he did say
that damage to park
was mostly caused by
people illegally enter-
ing after.hours. Com-
missioner Bill Imfeld
brought up the point
that most problems
with vandalism faced
by the county-run Wee
Care Park in DeFuniak
Springs when it first
opened have since been
prevented by getting lo-
cal law enforcement of-
ficers to close the park
after dark.
County resident
Tammy Finland op-
posed allowing vendors
at Morrison Springs
and similarly disagreed
with any suggestion
of charging admission
to the park, saying the
taxpayers had already
paid once for free use of
the park. Any further
access fees amounted
to the county attempt-
ing to make money off

times.
"I believe in no fees
or vendors," she said.
"The park is beautiful
the way it is....I think it
should be left alone."
The possibility of
granting Walton Coun-
ty residents a free pass
to the park, charging
only out-of-county visi-
tors for admittance, was
also briefly discussed
by the board. A sugges-
tion from an audience
member to use Tourist
Development Council
dollars to help pay for
maintenance at the
park is, the commission


Vo--


agreed, the best solu-
tion, but is unfortunate-
:ly impossible without
changes to state law. It
is prohibited for bed tax
monies, which are, in
Walton County, exclu-
sively collected south
of the Choctawhatchee
Bay, from being spent
north of the bay.
Regardless of what
decision the county
commission reaches,
any changes to the man-
agement plan contained
in the county's lease of
the property will have
to be approved by the
Florida Department of
Environmental Protec-
tion (FDEP),, which,
combined with grants
from other state organi-


zations, provided more
than $800,000 toward
the renovation project.
Interim County At-
torney Mark Davis ad-
vised the board that any
changes they wished
should be submitted to
FDEP as soon as pos-
sible if the county hopes
to make good on its plan
to have the issue at the
Springs sorted in time
for next summer.

neth Pridgen, in clos-
ing, suggested that the

Banding




together




Last year about this time I got a call from Re-
nee Riggs, band director and teacher at Paxton
School. The Walton County school bands and cho-
ruses (from all the schools that have them) were
getting together to present a spring concert titled
Full Score Spring Showcase for the Arts. The per-
son detailed to be master of ceremonies had to can-
cel, and could I fill in? I had never seen Full Score
(though we had run press releases about it in pre-
vious years), and I like a concert, so I agreed to do
it.
The Walton High school auditorium (the venue)
was crowded, with parents, family and friends of
the student bands and ensembles, which included
Maude Saunders Elementary's Kids of Distinction
Music Club, Walton Middle School's Sixth and Sev-
enth Grade Concert Chorus, Walton High School
Chorus, members of South Walton High School
Band, the Paxton Junior/Senior High School Con-
cert Band, Walton Middle School Eighth Grade
Advanced Band, and the Walton Senior High
School Concert Band. All levels of proficiency were
represented, and it was a real pleasure introduc-
ing the musicians. My job entitled me to a choice
seat backstage right (in semi-dark) to hear them
play, and to watch a little of the excitement and
adrenalin as they set up and broke down their gear
to clear for the next group. The teachers and other
adult supervisors kept things moving, and I believe
the audience got its money's worth. They certainly
took enough photos.
This Friday (May 10) I will once againbe at WHS,
.introducing another talented and dedicated group
'~f musicians and singers. In case you're wondering
about the utility of arts programs at schools, this
might make things pleasantly clear. As the saying
goes, it was an honor for me just to be asked, and I
hope you have as good a time as me and the other
kids.

'Hanoi Jane Fonda is back in the news when she
was quoted as saying "Hd needs to just get over
it." This was in regards to a Viet Nam Vets en-
couraging other vets to boycott her latest movie,
well, here is another Nam Vet, (105 combat mis-
sions) that has not and will not "get over it." This
woman gave encouragement to our enemy. This
constitutes being a traitor, and should have been
punished as such.
I was flying in Nam during the time that she
was. photographed sitting at a North Viet Nam
AA site, smiling and joking with the ones shoot-
ing down our pilots. This gave aid and comfort to
our enemy and emboldened the North Vietnam-
ese. She was laughing and dining with the enemy
while our pilots were being killed or captured. She
enjoyed tours of the countryside while our troops


were being tortured in the prisons. And she wants
me to "just get over it!" Not this old GI. Her movies
do not enter my home on TV, if they come on the
channel gets changed immediately. I do not attend
any movie she is in.
Some might say that a lot of time has expired
and we should "just move on." I am convinced that
this comes from those who have not experienced
combat or served their country. The liberal think-
ing of forget and forgive does not sit well with me.
It has been over 40 years and I still remember the
sacrifices of those who "Gave it all." Jane Fonda
does not deserve to address, much less give advice
to any combat veteran. The only thing that she de-
serves is to be tried as a traitor.

Dec. 7, 1941, Japan attacked Hawaii catapult-
ing the U.S. into another world war. Germany and
Japan surrendered in 1945. More than 420,000
American lives were lost. Approximately twice that
number received wounds that diminished their
quality of life forever. The cost was astronomical
in billions of dollars paid by average American tax-
payers. Since the end of World War II, Germany
and Japan have become financial giants and our
best friends for more than 50 years.
In 1950, The U.S. became involved in the Ko-
rean War and it lasted three years. That commit-
ment cost 37,000 American lives and untold bil-
lions of dollars paid by the American taxpayers.
We still have the expense of protecting the border
of South Korea 60 years after the end of that war.
The U.S. entered the Vietnam War incremen-
tally, in a series of steps, between 1950 and 1965.
During the President Johnson years, 500,000
American troops were the sustained troop-level
in that war. The national news media generated


so much unrest here at home, President Nixson
backed us out of that war. The communist North
rolled in and easily defeated the South establish-
ing an all-communist nation. Our investment in
lives exceeded 58,000 with a dollar cost of $150 bil-
lion.
Aug. 2, 1990. The U.S. began the first Gulf War.
For the next 23 years, the U.S. has intervened in
one war after another in that area. Our leaders are
now discussing the possibility of putting our troops
into the Syrian civil war.
What have all our wars since 1941 accom-
plished? Our leaders admit to a national debt of 17
trillion dollars. Our country may be over the edge
with no possibility of recovery at this moment. In
my opinion, we should stop trying to be the world's
police force. Our concentration should be focused
on solving the obvious problems here at home.

naming the new species the Choctaw bass and
recommended the scientific name ofMicropterus
haiaka. They revealed their discovery at a meeting
of the Southern Division of the American Fisher-
ies Society earlier this year. FWC scientists first
noted a DNA profile that did not belong to any
recognized species while testing a bass specimen
from the Chipola River in 2007, as part of a broad-
er genetic study of bass. "We didn't set out to find
a new species," said Mike Tringali, who heads the
genetics laboratory at the FWC's Fish and Wildlife
Research Institute. "It found us." After confirm-
ing the initial discovery, scientists searched for
the DNA profile in bass caught in nearby rivers
to determine the species' range. They found that
the Choctaw bass inhabits coastal river systems

The garden club asks those citizens and orga-

chose the name 'Choctaw bass' because the species'
range overlaps the historic range of the Choctaw
Indians," said Tringali. "As for our recommended
scientific name,Micropterus haiaka,'haiaka' is a
Choctaw word that means 'revealed."' The Ameri-

scientific name for it to take effect. The Choctaw

the two species are not easily seen with the na-
ked eye, one reason they had never before been
distinguished despite decades of bass studies in
the region. For more information about how FWC
scientists discovered the new bass species, visit
MyFWC.com/Research, click on "Freshwater," and
select "Black basses" under "Freshwater Sport
Fishes."

of the best breakfasts
around.
Church volunteers
served up pancakes,
bacon, sausage, eggs

pounds of rice and two
pounds of beans will be
distributed to each fam-
ily that comes. When
possible, we will provide
additional food staples
along with each bag of
rice and beans. Howev-
er, nothing is promised
or guaranteed beyond
rice and beans. No pa-
perwork no identifica-
tion needed no ques-
tions asked. A breakfast
will also be served from
8:30 9:30 a.m. to those
receiving bags of rice
and beans. H o w
can residents help?
Spread the word! If
someone knows some-
one in need, let them
know of this distribu-
tion. Those that would
like to help can donate

THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, MAY 9, 2013

Florida Dept. of Health of Walton County:


All About Women celebration May 9


The Florida Depart-
ment of Health in Wal-
ton County is celebrat-
ing Walton women of
all ages by costing All
About Women on Thurs-
day, May 9, 2013 from 6
to 8 p.m. at the Walton
County Health Depart-
ment located at 362


Encouraging good
bone health is easier
than you think. Bones
play many roles in the
body providing struc-
ture, protecting organs,
anchoring muscles and
storing calcium. While
it's particularly impor-
tant to take steps to
build strong and healthy
bones during childhood
and adolescence, we can
take steps during adult-
hood to protect bone
health, too.
According to re-
searchers at the Mayo
Clinic, our bones are
continuously changing
- new bone is made.
and old bone is broken
down. While young, the
body makes new bone
faster than it breaks
down old bone, and
bone mass increases.
Most people reach their


Free CPR and
water safety
classes

Florida Department
of Health in Walton
County is offering free
Cardiopulmonary Re-
suscitation (CPR) and
Water Safety classes
at health department
facilities in DeFuniak

Beach. Classes are free;
registration is required;
door prizes available.
Emergencies can
happen anywhere, any-
time. Survival depends
on quick rescue and
immediate care. Par-
ents and caregivers of,
infants and young chil-
dren are encouraged
to attend this class to
learn how to prevent
and respond to emer-
gencies. Participants
will learn lifesaving
skills and tips to keep
children safe. Register
today for one of the fol-
lowing classes:

The event is designed to
help Walton women get
trustworthy informa-
tion on a wide range of
women's health issues.
All About Women oc-
curs just before the'14th
annual National Wom-


peak bone mass around
age 30. After that, bone
remodeling continues,
but we lose slightly
more bone mass than
we gain.
Developing osteopo-
rosis a condition that
causes bones to become
weak and brittle de-
pends on how much
bone mass we attain by
the time we reach age
30 and how rapidly we
lose it after that.
A number of factors
can affect bone health.
For example, a diet low
in calcium contributes
to early bone loss and
an increased risk of
fractures. People who
are physically inactive
have a higher risk of os-
teoporosis and research
suggests that tobacco
use also contributes to
weak bones.
Women are at great-
er risk of osteoporosis
because women have
less bone tissue than
men. Someone extreme-
ly thin or with a small
body frame may have
less bone mass to draw


en's Health Week which
kicks off on Mother's
Day, May 12. Commu-
nity partners, business-
es, government, health
organizations and oth-
ers have been invited to
inform and educate the
public on services and
programs in our area


from as they age, too.
To keep bones
healthy, include' plenty
of calcium in every diet.
For adults ages 19 to 50
and men ages 51 to 70,
the recommended di-
etary allowance (RDA)
is 1,000 milligrams
(mg) of calcium a day.
The recommendation
increases to 1,200 mg
a day for women after
age 50 and for men af-
ter age 70. Ask a doctor
about supplements.
The body needs vita-
min D to absorb calci-
um. For adults over 70,
the RDA of vitamin D is
800 international units
(IUs) a day.
Including physical
activity in a daily rou-
tine, such as walking,
jogging, tennis and
climbing stairs, can
help build strong bones
and slow bone loss.
For more informa-
tion about bone health
or possible risk factors
for osteoporosis, contact
Healthmark Regional
Medical Center at (850)

Pedestrian critically

injured on SR-83


The Florida Highway
Patrol (FHP) reported
that pedestrian Mi-
chael W. Hargrove, 24,
of DeFuniak Springs
was struck and critical-
ly injured by a vehicle
driving on SR-83 south
of Joe Anderson Road.
The accident took place
on May 3 at 11:59 a.m.

The FHP report
stated that a vehicle
was traveling north on
SR-83, its driver and
sole occupant Misti D.
Anderson, 50, of Crest-
view. Hargrove was
standing along the east
grass shoulder of the
road, having just ex-
ited the passenger side
of the vehicle he was
traveling in. The vehi-
cle had reportedly lost
a piece of equipment
which had landed par-
tially in the northbound
lane, and Hargrove,
along with the driver
of the vehicle (unidenti-
fied in the FHP report)


had pulled off to remove
the equipment from the
roadway. Another ve-
hicle traveling north
reportedly slowed and
maneuvered around the
equipment in the road.
Anderson, however, did
not observe the slowed
traffic, but did swerve to
avoid a collision. Ander-
son traveled from the
northbound lane onto
the shoulder where she
struck Hargrove, whom
she had not seen.
Hargrove was taken
to Sacred Heart of Pen-
sacola with critical inju-
ries. Anderson was not
injured. Alcohol was not
a factor. Charges are
listed as pending.

structures and $82 for
business structures.
Walton County pro-
vided this fire district
with a supplement of
$94,804 in the current
fiscal year.
Argyle Fire District
is an independent spe-
cial fire control district
which levies non-ad
valorem special assess-
ments in its service
area. Annually, $25 is
levied for residential
parcels. The levy for
nonresidential struc-
tures is $50 per year for
up to 5,000 square feet
and $100 per year for
over 5,000 square feet.
Walton County pro-
vided this fire district
with a supplement of
$72,265 for the current
fiscal year.
The DeFuniak
Springs Fire Depart-
ment is funded by the
city. This fire depart-
ment received a $85,279
supplement from the
county in the current
fiscal year.
The Freeport Fire
Department is funded
by the city of Freeport.
This fire department
has a contractual agree-
ment with the county to
provide service for part
of the county's unincor-
porated area in the vi-
cinity of Freeport. The
county provided this
fire department with
$275,000 during the
current fiscal year.
Returning to the
topic of assessments
for Walton County Fire
Rescue, Tharpe told
the commissioners that
$4,809,625 was the total
amount that the county
could legally assess for
fire services, based on
its adopted 2012-13 fis-
cal year budget. She
provided recommenda-
tions for apportionment
of that $4.8+ million
among five categories,
including residential,
industrial/warehouse,
commercial, land, and
institutional.
The recommended
apportionments were
based on the percentage
of demand for services
for each category. Be-
cause residential prop-
erties had had the high-
est historical demand
for services (74.77 per-
cent of service demand),
the apportionment was
set up so that the resi-
dential category would
generate 74.77 percent
of the cost of services.
Other percentages were
12.23 percent for land,
6.77 percent for institu-
tional, 4.92 percent for
commercial, and 0.31
percent for industrial/
warehouse.
Recommended par-
cel apportionment of
assessments was based
on per dwelling unit for
residential and square
footage for commercial,
industrial/warehouse,
and institutional. For
land, it was based on
per parcel for up to 160
acres and, for larger
properties, per parcel
plus per acre for each
acre over 640.
Tharpe provided the
commissioners with a
table of scenarios for
assessments in all cat-
egories, ranging from
one that would produce
net revenue equal to 6.5
percent of the total as-
sessable budget to one
that would produce rev-
enue equal to the entire
total amount the coun-
ty could legally assess.
Yearly residential rates


ranged from $25 for the
6.5-percent option to
$379 for the 100-per-
cent option.
Among Tharpe's rec-
ommendations were
.ntaining exemp-
. ons for government
properties and churches
and making a hardship
exemption available.
She noted that Pax-
ton would need to con-
sent to any changes in
the. assessment pro-
gram.


The commissioners
considered initially opt-
ing for the 25-percent
assessment rate, which
would result in a $95
annual rate for resi-
dential properties and
would produce net rev-
enue of approximately
$1.1 million. There was
a motion to that effect
by District 3 Commis-
sioner Bill Imfeld for
discussion.
South Walton Coun-
ty resident Mary Niel-
son urged for approval
of a higher assessment
rate. She commented
that, for almost a de-
cade, people living
south of the bay had
paid the South Walton
Fire District for their
own fire protection and
also paid through their
ad valorem taxes to
support Walton. County
Fire Rescue--enabling
the low $25 per residen-
tial structure assess-
ment to be maintained
for properties north of
the bay served by Wal-
ton County Fire Rescue.
"I think you need to go
to the 50-percent rate
now," she told the com-
missioners.
Speaking on behalf of
Walton County Taxpay-
ers Association (WCTA)
President Don Riley,
WCTA Executive Direc-
tor Bob Hudson said,
"This issue has been a
three-year quest for the
Walton County Taxpay-
ers Association."
Hudson continued
that it was his belief
that all county resi-
dents should have fire
protection---but that he
also believed that there
had been inequity in
funding of fire services.
He suggested assess-
ing large properties per
acre based on total acre-
age.


A July 9 public hearing
on the assessment rate
is to be held, and notic-
es of the assessment are
to be mailed to affected
property owners.


Hudson encouraged
the commissioners to
set a goal of gradu-
ally increasing the as-
sessment percentage
rather than continuing
to "buy down" assess-
ment value by funding
most of Walton County
Fire Rescue's budget
through the county's
general fund.
Imfeld responded
that part of his motion
was to "phase in" fire
assessment increases,
increasing them each
year until parity is
achieved.
DeFuniak Springs
resident J.B. Hillard
commented that he did
not think anyone would
deny that there are in-
equities with funding
of fire protection. That
being said, Hillard won-
dered if taxpayers north
of the bay would see the
changes being proposed
as a benefit to them and
whether they would
support those changes.
Imfeld responded
that, by raising the as-
sessment rate, it could
be possible to reduce the
ad valorem tax rate.
District 1 Commis-
sioner Bill Chapman
said of the Liberty and
Argyle independent fire
districts, "They have
been dependent on the
county for many years."
He proposed that those
districts go to their vot-
ers to see if they would
approve assessments
in line with what the
county would be adopt-
ing. Chapman suggest-
ed that if they did not,
the county consider cut-
ting out supplements
to those fire districts.
Tharpe stated that
adoption by those fire
districts of assessments
equal to those proposed
for the county would re-

suit in more revenue for
them than what they
are currently receiving
with the supplements
from the county includ-
ed.
Imfeld was in agree-
ment, saying that the
two fire districts should
be given a year to de-
cide, with the message
that they could become
self-sufficient by adopt-
ing what the county
does. He also proposed
having staff look at
the county putting two
Walton County Fire
Rescue stations located
east and west of the
Freeport city limits to
serve the unincorpo-
rated areas currently
covered by Freeport's
fire department---and
elimination of county
payment to Freeport for
fire protection. Imfeld
said this plan would
also provide for munici-
pal service benefit unit
(MSBU) revenues now
going to Freeport in
connection with service
to those unincorporated
areas, to come to the
county.
Following more dis-
cussion, Imfeld with-
drew his earlier mo-
tion and also suggested
that staff look at a
new assessment rate
of between 25 and 39.5
percent and come back
with a recommenda-
tion for the commis-
sioners. This direction
was agreed to and the
meeting was concluded
shortly.
The date by which the
county will be required
to adopt a preliminary
assessment rate resolu-
tion for Walton County
Fire Rescue is May 28.

Walton Area Chamber breakfast meeting visited by live skunk


Story and photos by
BEN GRAFTON
The sponsor's wel-
come for the Walton
Area Chamber of Com-
merce (WACC) First
Friday Breakfast meet-
ing on May 3 in the
Hammock Bay Lake
Club clubhouse was
presented by Nicole
Scott, a new market-
ing specialist for Resort
Quest by Wyndham,
who maintained good
humored 4 composure
while working around
amusing troubles with
the computer video pro-
jector equipment. Scott
told the audience that
over the next year the
company will transition
to feature only rental
properties in its port-
folio and she pointed
out that Wyndham is a
growing company as at-
tested by its acquisition
of properties in Gulf
Shores, Ala. to add to
its worldwide offerings.
Joe Wyatt, Ham-
mock Bay Naturalist,
followed Scott with a
short presentation to
invite people to partici-
pate the nature walks
at Hammock Bay on the
first Saturday of each
month. It's fun for all
ages and the walks are
geared to accommodate
all skill levels. Walkers
meet at 9 a.m. at the
Lake Club clubhouse.
Chris Mitchell (hav-
ing previously solved
the problems with the
video projector) pre-


sented a program the Chautarii.ta As-,
sembly. By a show of
hands he learned that
fewer than half of those
present had attended a
Chautauqua event. He
noted that Chautauqua
is an educational event
and it attracts promi-
nent speakers, includ-
ing in past events, Carl
Rowe; Naomi Tutu of
South Africa; Celine
Cousteau, Jacques
Cousteau's grand-
daughter; and most re-
cently former first lady
Rosalynn Carter. The
Chautauqua Assembly
in DeFuniak Springs is
a four-day event. Peo-
ple come from all over
the world to hear the
speakers and then go
into "breakup sessions"
all over the town which
is the campus. Then
they get back together
at night to enjoy din-
ner performances. All of
this started in 1874 in
Chautauqua, New York
as an educational event
for teachers who came
primarily from the reli-
gious community. Since
then Chautauqua As-
semblies have cropped
up across the United
States and Canada.
Some 15,000 people at-
tended this year's event
in DeFuniak Springs.

philia Center is an edu-
cational facility where,
this year, the 21,000th
student will attend
classes. Fourth grade
and seventh grade stu-
dents come to the cen-
ter. Every day during
the school year there
are more than 100 kids
out there. The center
is available to the sur-
rounding counties of
Okaloosa, Walton, Bay,
Washington and Holm-
es. Students coming to
the center are not on a
field trip they are at-
tending project based
learning sessions. The
center has written
more than 700 pages
of curriculum for these
schools. Walton County
children attend four
day sessions at the cen-
ter. Fourth grade and
seventh grade students
come out because in
the fifth grade and the
eighth grade these stu-
dents have their FCAT
tests and they benefit
from the sessions at
the center. There are


18 programs that can
be taught. As examples,
one of the programs pre-
sented is water quality
testing on the water in
Walker Branch. Anoth-
er lesson is about ants
and another is a birds of
prey program and still
another is the "World of
Wonder" (WOW), a six-
foot carbon fiber sphere
projection screen for
a computer controlled
projection system that
enables presentations
of a large number of
ecosystem subjects to
the students.

Relay for Life event


FREEPORT BEAUTY QUEENS gathered for the cause.


Story and photos by
JEFFREYPOWELL
Overcast skies and
a steady light rain
did absolutely noth-
ing to dampen the
spirits of hundreds of
Freeport relay for life
participants and their
family members on
Friday .evening, May
3. The annual event
is intended to bring
support and attention
to those who are suf-
fering from or have
already suffered from
the devastating ef-
fects of cancer. Across
the country millions of
participants gather for
the event in hopes of
finding a cure for this
disease. One such per-
son is Freeport relay
for life Events Chair-
person Leigh Wilson
who was recently diag-
nosed with cancer. She
has participated for


many years in Relay
events and welcomed
everyone to the event.
"I would like to
thank everyone for
coming out and sup-
porting the cancer
survivors and thank
you survivors for com-
ing out and supporting
each other and thank
you American Cancer
Society for continuing
to push for a cure,"
Wilson said, fighting
back tears. "Relay for
Life is an overnight
event meant to sym-
bolize a cancer pa-
tients journey through
cancer. The light and
darkness of the day
and night parallel
the physical effects,
emotions, and mental
state of a cancer pa-
tient while undergo-
ing treatment. When
you come to Relay for
Life you join our com-
munity in supporting
cancer patients."
The walking portion


of the evening was be-
gan with a survivors'
walk. Several cancer
survivors carried a
banner for the first leg
of the evening's night-
long march. Later lu-
minaries were placed
around the course in
honor of those that
did not survive can-
cer such as Sue Ann
Cagle's grandfather.
Cagle is a member of
the Freeport Town
Planters Society team
Flower Power.
"My grandfather
had prostate cancer
and passed away in
2002. That event in-
spired me to become
actively involved in
the Freeport Relay for
Life. I hope this event
will inspire others to
become aware of this
*terrible disease which
affects millions of lives
each year."
Plans are already
underway for next
year's event.


THE FREEPORT TOWN PLANTERS were well represented on Friday night.

Walk the Difference
on May 13 from 8:30
a.m. to 1 p.m. at Lake
Defuniak. The idea
behind Walk the Dif-
ference came from the
MyCharity: Water web-
site. Their school found
out that some people
have to walk at least
three hours just to get
water, and not even
clean water at that.
"We are lucky that we
have clean water at


our fingertips, so our
school, decided to walk
the difference and see
what it would be like to
have to walk for three
hours. We are asking
for sponsorship to raise
money for MyCharity:

that helps people access
clean water."

Dear Auntie Em, __


DFS Garden Club sets carport plant sale


Dear Auntie Em,
I.,,r.ad your .c.lumn
every week and appreci-
te your common sense
approach to problems.
I am hoping you might
can help me with mine.
My problem is with my
father. My mom passed
many years ago and his
health has been declin-
ing ever since. He re-
tired recently without
any type of insurance
and is not quite old
enough for Medicare.
He has spoken of having
chest pains and sweat-
ing, but will not go to
the doctor. I'm not sure
if he is afraid of what
they will tell him or the
cost as he is living on a
fixed income.
I am also afraid that
he might just be giv-
ing up as he seems de-
pressed to me. I know
many men are very
stubborn about going
to the doctor and was
wondering if you had
any advice. Thanks in
advance.

Distraught Daughter

Dear Distraught,

I am so sorry tolhear
of the issues your fa-
ther is having. It is a
sad fact of life now days
that many fall through
the cracks where health
care is concerned. Oth-
ers fear a diagnoses be-
fore getting insured will
hurt their chances or
raise their rates if they
do qualify. This is all
an added stress on top
of the illness they are
dealing with already.
I would suggest a
tougher approach with
your dad if you have not
tried it already. Such
as you telling him he
needs to load up and
you are taking him to
get checked out. I have
had some stubborn men
in my life and that was
the only way I could
get them to the doctor
sometimes. I called,
made the appointment
and went and physical-
ly put them in the car


and took them.
If cost is a concern,
our local health.depart-
ment has a medical
staff and after hours
clinic now that works
on a sliding scale, which
might mean reduced
costs. We also have a
walk-in clinic by anoth-
er firm located on U.S.
331 South, right past
Tom Thumb that sees
patients for limited cost
last time I checked. If
he is prescribed medi-
cation, many compaines
have a hardship pro-
gram that can supply
his medications for free
or low cost. Remind him
this approach will be
much less costly than
an ambulance ride and
an emergency room bill
will be.
The bottom line is
with your father's age
and behavior, it is very
important to get him
seen by a professional.
His issues may not be
that serious and may be
able to be controlled if he
is seen early enough.
It would not hurt
for you to emphasize
how much you love and
care for him, as well as
the fact you would like
to keep him around.


Sometimes we all need
to hear the words, even
though our loved ones
think we already know
how they feel about us
and our place in their
life. Good luck and God
bless.
Auntie Em
Have a problem? Got
a question? Want to vent
about an issue and get
some feedback? Auntie
Em would love to hear

Who's 100 Years Old


By Lessie Walker, WMU Director for the Walton County Baptist Association


Girls In Action(GA's)
is a program of the
Southern Baptist Con-
vention and is celebrat-
ing its 100th birthday
this year. Celebrations
will begin in May 2013
and run through May
2014. In 1913 the
Girls Auxiliary pro-
gram began as a way
for young girls to learn
about missions and
Baptist doctrine, par-
ticipate in hands-on
mission projects, under-
stand Scriptures, and
gain proficiency in the
practical skills such as
reading, writing, and
sewing. Forward Steps


was introduced in 1928
through the magazine
World Comrades. For
every step achieved she
was recognized by em-
blems and armbands.
Girls Auxiliary be-
came The Girls in Action
(GA's) program 1970,
the primary purpose is
to learn about missions,
pray for missions, do
missions and support
the missionaries. This
program was estab-
lished to help the girls
have a biblical base for
missions from the Word
of God. A great number
of our missionaries on
the field today will tell


you immediately that
they heard God's call to
the mission field while
participating in GA's.
In order to advance
the girls had to prove
themselves in a number
of achievements to win
a star or badge for their
sash.
The girls "Forwards
Steps" were introduced
in 1928, and they were
Maiden, Lady In Wait-
ing, Princess, Queen,
optional steps, Queen in
Service. The older girls
worked toward Queen,
Queen with a Scepter,
Queen Regent, plus an
optional step of Queen


Regent-In-Service.
Forward Steps em-
blems were usually
awarded to the girls at
a Coronation or pre-
sentation service, after
all girls were approved
by the Review Coun-
cil. This was a time of
pomp, pageantry and
ceremony. The GA
crown was born at this
time, a Maiden was
awarded a Green Octa-
gon, Lady-In-Waiting,
White Star, and a Prin-
cess was awarded a gold
GA Monogram, while
the Queen was awarded
a Gold Circlet, which
completed the star. The


Forward Step bracelet
also became a reality
when a GA completed
the above mention steps
she was given a special
charm for the bracelet.
GA's will be par-
ticipating in several
events this year as we
celebrate this rich his-
tory of the Girls Auxil-
iary, or as we know it
Girls In Action (GA's).
Our celebration will
begin on May 11 with
a 100th Birthday Bash
at Southwide Baptist
Church from 2 4 p.m.,
where each girl will re-
ceive a commemorative
necklace to honor this


event. All GA's from
Walton County will
march in the Fourth of
July parade, as a body
united in support of
the past, present and
future. Oct. 5 will find
the GA's at FBC, Crest-
view celebrating the
100th birthday with a
fashion show of our rich
history.

Other programs are
being planned for them
as we continue to sup-
port these girls and
their quest to know, do
and participate in mis-
sions here in Walton
County and around the

ing committee mem-
bers. They will speak on
"God's Gifts."
"Every one of us has
gifts from the Lord
which are unique to us.


Do we know our gifts?
Do we use our gifts?
Let's explore and exam-
ine these gifts in light
of God's Word," said
Wennerberg.

TLC is open to all
working women those
presently employed,
those who have retired
and those preparing to
enter the workforce.
The meeting will last
approximately 45 min-
utes so that attendees
will be able to eat their
own brown bag lunch,
join in a time of net-
working and return to
work within a one hour
lunch period.

A Saint Goes


Marching In

By Ronnie McBrayer


Years ago my oldest
son asked me a ques-
tion: "What is a saint?"
When you're driving
along with a numb
mind at day's end, as I
was, that's not the type
of question you are pre-
pared to answer. So I
splattered out, "A saint
is someone who does
what God wants them to
do." My son answered,
"If that's a saint, then
why did New Orleans
choose that as their foot-
ball mascot?" I didn't
have an answer for that
question either.
What is a saint?
Well, we often think
of saints as being holy
or remarkable people
who did something ex-
traordinary for God.
We think of people we
know personally who
have influenced us: A
grandmother, parent, or
mentor whom we easily
refer to as saints. Or we
think of some poor lady
with a worthless hus-
band and an impossible
life. She never loses her
patience or resolve, so
behind her back we talk
about how great her re-
ward in heaven will be,
and we call her a saint.
Thomas Merton, a
saintly person in his
own right, said: "A saint
is not someone who is
good. It is someone who
has experienced the
goodness of God." Going
with Merton's thought,
saints are those have
come to know deep,
abiding grace. Saints
understand that their
failures and shortcom-
ings do not disqualify
them from receiving
God's love. Saints have
learned that their gro-
tesque, self-inflicted
wounds, rather than
alienating God, bring
the divine to bear in
their lives in unique
and powerful ways.
Extraordinary. In-
fluential. Determined.
Fallible and damaged.
If these are the char-
acteristics of saint-
hood, then a true saint
left the world in recent
days: The writer, priest,

Sarvio m: 7,:00 p.m. Nightly
with meal at 6t0 p.m-


preacher, alcoholic, di-
vorc6, and all-round
self-proclaimed "raga-
muffin" known as Bren-
nan Manning.
As a young man
Brennan entered the
seminary and was or-
dained to the Fran-
ciscan priesthood. He
would go on to become
a theologian, a campus
minister, a spiritual
director, the author of
nearly two dozen books
(his "Ragamuffin Gos-
pel" should be required
religious reading), and a
practitioner in the way
of Jesus, living among
the poor as a mason's
assistant, a dishwasher,
a voluntary prisoner,
and a shrimper.
Of course, if Man-
ning's story and life end-
ed there, there would
be little doubt about
his sainthood. Teach-
ing theology, working
among the pitiable and
overlooked, self-impris-
onment (though inno-
cent) in order to min-
ister to convicts, living
among the rough and
tumble fisherman of the
Gulf Coast who could
be more like Jesus?
But Manning's minis-
try and life disintegrat-
ed into horrific alcohol-
ism. He was homeless
and busted, living on a
quart of vodka a day,
when he finally entered
treatment. It took him
months to get sober, but
he did, only to relapse.
When sober again he
began writing in ear-
nest, left the priest-
hood, married Rosalyn,
and moved to New Or-


leans (he was an avid
Saints fan), where his
marriage would end in
divorce, and again he
would land in rehab.
Manning says that
the greatest regret of
his life is not his re-
lapses into alcoholism.
His greatest regret is
"The time I've wasted in
shame, guilt, remorse,
and self-condemna-
tion...I'm not speaking
about the appropriate
guilt one ought to feel
after committing a sin.
I'm talking about wal-
lowing in guilt, almost
indulging in it, which
is basically a kind of
idolatry where I am the
center of my focus and
concern.
He went on to say, "I
can waste no more time
being shocked or horri-
fied that I have failed.
There's nothing else
I can do now but help
sinners journey from
self-hatred to God's
love, and to help people
see that if God ceased to
love, God would cease to
be God."
This blessed, bum-
bling drunk; this mud-
dled mix of failure and
faithfulness; this holy,
blue-eyed and blue-
jean-wearing champion
of grace did exactly that
for untold thousands
- he helped them find
the love of God in spite
of personal shame. And
while I only knew him
through his words, he
did the same for me. So
from one ragamuffin to
another, "Thank you,
Brennan. A saint truly
is marching in."

Sconiers
Kathryn Dianne
Sconiers, 64, of De-
Funiak Springs, Fla.,
was called home by her
Lord and Savior on May
3, 2013 while surround-
ed by her family and
friends at UAB in Bir-
mingham, Ala. Beloved
wife, mother, daughter
and grandmother, Di-
anne was born on Oct.
25, 1948 in DeFuniak
Springs.
Dianne is preceded
in death by her father,
Captain George W.
Brown.
Dianne grew up in
Freeport, Fla. where
she graduated from
Freeport High School
in 1967. Dianne was
a member of Freeport
First Baptist Church
and she worked as a lo-
cal hairdresser for over
38 years until she re-
tired due to her health
and also to devote more
time to her grandchil-
dren and their activi-
ties. Nanny, as her five
grandchildren lov-
ingly called her, never
missed one of, their
sporting events, beau-
ty pageants, birthday
parties or school as-
semblies. Each of them
held a special place in
her heart. Dianne will
be remembered by most
as a fabulous cook. One
could never visit her
home without leaving
with a special treat in
hand, and Dianne rare-
ly visited her friends or
family without bringing
along a delicious dish to
share.
Dianne's signature
gumbo was always a


hit at gatherings of fam-
ily and friends. Mostly,
however, Dianne will be
remembered as a self-
less mother and grand-
mother who taught her
daughters and grand-
children the importance
of hard work, uncondi-
tional love, the value of
family, and God's love.
Dianne is survived
by her mother, Loma
Mae Brown of Freeport;
her loving and devoted
husband of 32 years,
Paul Sconiers. Dianne
will be truly missed by
many. There is no stron-
ger bond than that of a
mother and her daugh-
ter. She leaves behind
two daughters, Patsy
Caudill Myrick and hus-
band, Mike of Freeport
and Teri Sconiers Irwin
and husband, Mike of
Baker, Fla. Dianne will
be especially missed
by her five precious
grandchildren, Collin
Myrick, Mary Kath-
ryn Myrick, Courtney
Fountain, Sarah Hud-
son, and Taylor Irwin;
two sisters, Lisa Young
and husband, Harold
and Wanda Bird, and
her husband, James;
one brother, Mac Brown
and his wife, Lisa., and
a host of nieces, neph-
ews, cousins and close
friends.
Funeral services
were held Tuesday, May
7, 2013, at Freeport
First Baptist Church,
430 Kylea Laird Drive,
Freeport, FL 32439,
with Revs. Howard
Taylor and Joel Glenn
officiating.
Those asked to serve
as pallbearers were
Patrick Pilcher, Terry
Jo Pilcher, Scott Young,
Ryan Brown, Ronnie
Bozeman and Robert
Sconiers.
Burial followed in
the Hatcher Cemetery.

Freeport High School implements BONES Program


This year the Free-
port High School (FHS)
Student Government As-
sociation, under the di-
rection of Vanessa Bump,
implemented the Bringing
Out New Excitement and
Spirit program (BONES)
in order to promote year
long school involvement
and spirit. Their "trial
run" of the program began
the first week in April and
ended with the school's
first Olympic Day on Fri-
day, May 3. Throughout
the month each class com-
peted for points in several
BONES events. Some of
the events included class
attendance at softball and
baseball games, most in
attendance, at the spring
band concert, and the class
with the least amount
of absences, tardies, and
referrals for a week. The
classes also competed for
which class could raise
the most money through
Penny Wars. Through


this event alone, students
raised $1,090.00 in change
which was donated to the
FHS Anchor and FHS
Spanish Relay for Life
teams in order to help
them meet their donation
goals.
The final event, Olym-
pic Day, gave the classes
one more chance to gain
points and win the spirit
award. The classes com-
peted in intense competi-
tive events like the balloon


pop, egg race, towel pull,
three-legged race, tug-of-
war, bean bag toss, fro-
zen t-shirt contest, orange
pass can-good stack, and
ended with a volleyball
tournament. Throughout
the contest the junior and
freshmen classes battled
back and forth for the
lead, but the junior class
came out victorious in the
end. This class will receive
a water day and cookout
the last week of school.

and the decision took
place at the TRC's May
1 meeting at the South
Walton Courthouse An-
nex.
Contrary to a previ-
ous decision, a determi-
nation was also made
at the meeting that
these projects would
be reviewed as minor
developments. How-
ever, based on discus-
sion at the meeting,
it is likely that future
development proposals
at Sandestin consisting
of 30 or more units will
undergo review as ma-
jor projects---which will
entail them being heard
in public session by the
Walton County Plan-
ning Commission and
Walton County Board
of County Commission-
ers (BCC).
Burnt Pine Villas, the
residential lot project,
is proposed for a 11.34-


acre parcel across from
the Sandestin Club-
house on Burnt Pine
Lane. Osprey Point, the
condominium project, is
proposed for a 7.82-acre
parcel on the north side
of Heron Walk Drive,
975 feet west of the
Baytowne Avenue East
intersection.
Generally, in the
past, within Develop-
ments of Regional Im-
pact (DRIs) such as
Sandestin, proposals
have gone the less-in-
volved route of review
by the TRC as minor
developments, regard-
less of their size---and
the final decision has
been that of the TRC.
However, Walton Coun-
ty Planning and Devel-
opment Services Direc-
tor Wayne Dyess had
previously directed that
the two projects would
be reviewed as major
developments, based on
their intensity.
Discussed at the
May 1 TRC meeting
was an April 30, 2013,
letter from county legal
counsel Greg Stewart of
Nabors Giblin & Nick-
erson. The letter was
in response to local at-
torney Dana Matthews'
request for a review of
the above determina-
tion by Dyess regarding

"We are prosper-
ity and the American
dream," Brian Swens-
en, political director for
the Republican Party
of Florida, said of the
GOP.
Addressing members
of the South Walton Re-
publican Club Miramar
Beach on May 2, Swens-
en announced plans for
the party to "tell that
message louder."
Swensen spoke of
the party's campaign
in Florida leading up to
the 2012 elections with
a shudder. He explained

that along with presi-
dential elections comes
pressure from folks on
the national level that
can negatively impact
the party's campaign
in the state. Romney's
operational approach
was a "top down mecha-
nism," he said.
In contrast, Swens-
en told attendees, the
Obama people ran a
grass-roots campaign.
The Democrats actually
succeeded, he explained,
in getting people who
normally refuse to be in
the same room together
to vote together.
"I am a conservative
before. I am a Repub-
lican," Swensen said,
adding that it is diffi-
cult to see the country
now going in a direction
that conservatives do
not want to see it go.
He assured the group
that they would see a
much different cam-
paign in Florida for
2014, minus the. influ-
ence of the "Romney
folks."
While calling Mitt
Romney a "great guy,"
Swensen was critical of
the 2012 presidential
candidate for "hiring
the same yes men" to
run his campaign.
"The beautiful thing
about Florida is that
it is six or seven states


in one," Swensen ob-
served. "We know how
to message our state...
you don't take a one-
size-fits-all package,"
he explained.
Personal voter con-
tact will be emphasized,
he said, and the party
also plans to invest in
technology to reach
more voters.
Swensen saw the
GOP's turn away from
grass-roots campaign-
ing over 20 years ago as
a mistake. Democrats
maintained the grass-
roots strategy, and it
has worked for them, he
noted.
The RPOF is now
starting to guild a
precinct leadership
program, Swensen re-
vealed, that will em-
phasize communication
between these party
leaders and their neigh-
bors.
He spoke to the need
for the party to do a bet-
ter job of "controlling the
rhetoric" that appears
in the media. "We're
pegged as the party of
no," he observed.
When saying "no" to
Obamacare, Republi-
cans did not have their
own solution to reform-
ing health care, he com-
plained. In the process

Santa Rosa Beach man charged

with embezzling from local business


THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, MAY 9,2013

SRoad closure notice for

Old Blue Mountain Road


On March 6, investi-
gators with the Walton
County Sheriffs Office
(WCSO) began an in-
vestigation into an em-
bezzlement complaint.
According to the com-
plaint filed with WCSO,
Wesley Allen Shel-
ton, 36, of Santa Rosa
Beach, was an employ-


The Walton County
Sheriffs Office (WCSO)
has issued a Neighbor-
hood Alert for the area
of Driftwood Estates in
Santa Rosa Beach. The
WCSO has received nu-
merous calls about ve-
hicles and homes being
burglarized recently.
The vehicles targeted
during this crime spree
are unlocked and the
owners have left items
in plain sight within
the vehicles. The homes
that were targeted had
"hidden keys" some-
where around the home.
Items such as money,
computers, phones, and
guns have been stolen.
WCSO stresses own-
ers of homes and ve-
hicles need to hide your
things, lock your car,
and take your keys.
Leaving items out in
plain sight invites crim-


ee working for Sand-
castle Escapes between
April 23, 2010 through
April 25, 2012. During
his time of employment,
evidence was gathered
to show Shelton had
engaged in a scheme
to defraud, by periodi-
cally writing several
checks to himself from


inals to take what they
can easily identify and
grab quickly. Leaving
your vehicle unlocked
allows the criminal easy
access without drawing
attention by breaking
windows. Taking keys
from your vehicle or
from around your home
ensures only you have
access. Burglars and
thieves know the neigh-
borhoods they terror-
ize. They often "case"
an area ahead of time
and watch those in the
neighborhood. Do the
people who live there
carelessly leave vehi-
cles open? Do they hide
a key under a certain
flowerpot? What times
of the day are people
most likely gone so tley
can commit their crimes
without being spotted?
Neighbors are en-
couraged to look out


the business account of
Sandcastle Escapes to-
taling .$24,945. It was
discovered that Shelton
had no legitimate rea-
son to write checks to
himself.
Investigators with
the WCSO applied for
an arrest warrant and
on May 1, Shelton was


for each other. If some-
thing or someone looks
outs out of place, call
the Walton County
Sheriffs Office at 850-
892-8111 or for emer-
gencies call 911. Ve-
hicle owners are asked
to remove valuables,
park either in a garage
or in a well-lit area, and
lock up. Home owners
should keep valuables
from plain view, if pos-
sible, by drawing cur-
tains or blinds. Extra
keys should be kept.
with family members or
trusted neighbors and
friends instead of being
left out where anyone
can find them.

the opportunity to em-

The party's rhetoric,
Swensen urged, needs

He maintained that
the Republican Party

THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, MAY 9, 2013


VANR. BUTLER EL-
EMENTARY celebrates
Earth Day by planting
trees. Special thanks
goes out to Sacred Heart
Food Services and ETC
departments for donat-
ing two oak trees to But-
ler for Earth Day. Mrs.
Willey and Mrs. Hol-
lar's first-grade classes
helped plant the trees as
part of our Earth Day
celebration.


This is simply a note
of Thanksgiving for the
wonderfully inspiring
people God has placed
in my life in recent
months.

A couple of months
ago, I uttered a simple
prayer in my head-at
the time, I considered
it more of a silent wish,
the way one thinks, "I
wish I had a million
dollars." I prayed to be
surrounded by great
friends who shared
similar interests. (My
interests primarily re-
volve around health
and fitness, sports, lit-
erature, and God, which
are not exactly cohesive
with the current YOLO
cultural mindset).
Within weeks of pen-
ning my mental wish-
list, I was invited to
join a workout crew
whose passion for fit-
ness was superseded
only by their dedication
to Christ-Chris, Tyler,
Reid, Malachi, Kima,
and Karen.
Each one has opened


my eyes to the extraor-.
dinary gifts of friend-
ship and diversity.
Tyler, the silver-
tongued funny man who
could sell ice to a frost-
bitten Eskimo keeps
our spirits high with
motivational speeches
and dauntless positiv-
ity. His charismatic
sense of humor and
sheer honesty are fan-
tastic and rare traits.
Reid, a walking en-
cyclopedia, and the only
person I've ever know to
work the word yurtt" into
random conversation,
is vintage cool. Imag-
ine the "Most Interest-
ing Man in the World"
sans arrogance-a guy
who runs 40 miles per
week, drives a sports
car, herds cattle, fought
in MMA, and did I men-
tion he knows the word
yurt?
If Reid is the Most
Interesting Man in the
World sans arrogance,
Malachi is the Most Hi-
larious Man in the World
sans filter. Whatever
pops in Malachi's head


comes out of his mouth,
as he bounces from one
subject to another like a
baboon bouncing from
limb to limb. Malachi's
mere presence is an-ab
workout-he has ev-
eryone doubled over in
laughter so often our
sides hurt.
Kima is the resident
diva, with a laugh so
adorably contagious it
could put a smile on The
Grinch's face. Her un-
abashed confidence and
fierce loyalty inspire me
(not to mention she is a
killer make-up artist).
She is exactly the type
of strong, female friend
every woman needs and
I am so delighted to be
on her good side (seri-
ously, she could take
out a grown man).
Karen is a wealth of
warmth and generos-
ity, not to mention work
ethic. She devotes her
life to caring for others,
and takes every oppor-
tunity to build them up.
Her presence is a joy
that brings a smile to
my face.
Chris is the glue that
holds this beautiful
group together. Stead-
fast and calm, he is a
strong leader who en-
courages us to discover
the potential within
ourselves of which we


Walton County to be part

of recent NRDA early

restoration projects


are not yet aware. He
is truly one in a mil-
lion, set apart, and to
call him a friend is the
greatest privilege.
Through these amaz-
ing people whom I now
consider family, I have
been introduced to oth-
ers who continually
bless and inspire me:
Brandon, Nora, An-
gel, Spence, Francisco,
Holly, Lynn, Lavinia,
Jamal, Bryce, Calan,
Josh.
Theologian Albert
Schweitzer once wrote,
"in everyone's life, at
some time, our inner
fire goes out. It is then
burst into flame by an
encounter with anoth-
er human being. We
should all be thankful
for those people who re-
kindle the inner spirit."
Indeed, I am infi-
nitely grateful for these
friends who have re-
kindled my spirit, and
I can only pray to be a
shadow of the blessing
in their lives that they
are in mine.

that some Walton Coun-
ty projects are included
in the list of Florida
early restoration proj-
ects that have been pro-
posed by the Trustees
of the Deepwater Hori-
zon Natural Resource
Damage Assessment
(NRDA).

Currently, Walton
County is slated to be
part of or receive arti-
ficial reef creation and
restoration as well as
scallop enhancement for
increased recreational
fishing opportunity in
the Florida Panhandle.
Based on the release
from the state, "These
projects, if successfully
finalized after public re-
view and comment, are
in addition to the seven
projects, on which Flor-
ida has been working,
including several boat
ramps, a dune restora-
tion project and projects
to protect and restore
shorebird and sea turtle
nesting habitat. With
the additional projects,
Florida will have allo-
cated nearly $69 mil-
lion of the $100 mil-
lion available through
the early restoration
process defined in the
April 2011 Framework
Agreement between BP
and the Trustees."
As Walton County's
Gulf Coast Consortium
Representative, Com-
missioner Sara Co-
mander was pleased
with the announce-


ment. "I was very hap-
py to hear that Walton
County was included in
the list of NRDA early
restoration projects,"
said Comander. "I look
forward to the public re-
view and comment and
moving forward with
the building of artificial
reefs off the Coast of
Walton County."
According to the re-
lease, "This next set of
projects includes many
of the proposals that


citizens have been sug-
gesting, such as oyster
and scallop restoration,
seagrass restoration,
artificial reefs, living
shorelines, recreational
beach restoration, state
park improvements,
and a hatchery project
which will help restore
the fisheries in north
Florida as well as pro-
vide much needed re-
search into the area of
fisheries management
and restoration."

THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, MAY 9,2013


PROJECTS


the two Sandestin pro-
posals. Also referenced
in the letter was Dyess'
determination that a
25-foot buffer from wet-
lands would be required
in connection with the
proposals.
In the letter, Stewart
quoted 11.01.02 of the
Walton County Land
Development Code
(LDC) entitled "Desig-
nation of Plans as Ma-
jor or Minor Develop-
ments."
11.01.02 states that,
for developments re-
quiring permits, mi-
nor developments are
those meeting any of
the following criteria:
a division of land into
fewer than 20 parcels;
multi-family residen-
tial projects of fewer
than 30 dwelling units
not involving platting;
nonresidential projects
with less than 5,000
square feet of floor area;
or requests for approval
of technical plans for an
affordable housing proj-
ect for which the BCC
has already granted
conceptual approval.
11.01.02 lists as ma-
jor developments: divi-
sion of land into 20 or
more parcels; multi-
family residential proj-
ects with 30 or more
dwelling units; Planned
Unit Developments
(PUDs) regardless of
size; Infill proposals
in Neighborhood Plan-
ning Areas (NPAs); and
nonresidential projects
with over 5,000 square
feet.
The code section also
states that "any devel-
opment" may be desig-
nated as a major devel-
opment if the planning
director determines it
"should be subject to


a more thorough con-
sideration and review"
based on either of two
factors. The first of
these is the parcel being
part of a larger one for
which additional devel-
opment is anticipated
which, together with
development' on the
smaller parcel, would
be likely to exceed the
limits set for a minor
development. The sec-
ond is that the proposed
development "has a po-
tential, based on its lo-
cation, its complexity,
or its hazardous nature,
for impact on public fa-
cilities, natural resourc-
es, or public safety."
Stewart makes the
observation that, since
they exceed 30 multi-
family dwelling units,
the two Sandestin proj-
ects "would initially
appear to fall within
the definition of major
development." Howev-
er, he also states that,
according to the LDC,
the planning director is
provided with some dis-
cretion to interpret the
LDC in these matters
and to set appropriate
procedures for review
of development applica-
tions.
Stewart observes
that, based on this au-
thority, former plan-
ning directors have
interpreted that de-
velopment approvals
within DRIs should be
considered minor devel-
opment reviews.
"The rationale for
this interpretation was
that DRIs are large,
master planned com-
munities that undergo
an extensive, statuto-
rily required, state and
local review process,"
Stewart explains. DRI


development orders set
forth allowed uses, den-
sities, and intensities,
and other aspects of de-
velopment.
Stewart discusses a
court case filed against
the county in 2008, in
which the Presidents'
Council of Sandestin,
representing honieown-
ers' associations, chal-
lenged the county's ap-
proval of a hotel within
the Sandestin DRI. In
the litigation, the plain-
tiffs argued in Walton
County Circuit Court
that the proposal should
have been reviewed as
a major rather than a
minor development.
The county prevailed in
circuit court, with the
court approving its mo-
tion for summary judg-
ment.
Stewart references
the circuit court deci-
sion that no further re-
view was required other
than the "minor devel-
opment" review by the
TRC---and that process-
ing of the application
had been "consistent
with the County's long-
standing policy and
procedure for reviewing
development applica-
tions within approved
DRIs..."
The letter quotes an-
other conclusion from
the final summary
judgment: "Following
TRC approval, the De-
velopment Order was
reviewed and approved
by Pat Blackshear, Di-
rector of the County's
Division of Planning
and Development Ser-
vices...The Division Di-
rector is the final deci-
sion-maker for approval
of minor development
orders (unless there is
an appeal to the Board


FROM PAGE 1-C


of Adjustment...)"
The circuit court de-
cision was appealed to
the First District Court
of Appeals and was af-
firmedr.
Stewart notes, how-
ever, that neither state
statute nor the LDC
mandate a "different
process" for develop-
ment approvals within
a DRI. "The interpre-
tation of the LDC as to
the applicable process
was solely based upon
the interpretation of
the LDC by the prior
Planning Director," he
writes.
Stewart speaks to
the existence of that
same interpretive au-
thority for the current
planning director, who,
he writes, "should not
be forever bound by a
previous determination
for which he or she does
not agree."
However, Stewart
opines that a change
in interpretation in the
matter "should not be
made during the pro-
cess of reviewing a spe-
cific application." "Any
pending application
should continue to uti-
lize the prior process,"
he states, adding that
a change in interpreta-
tion "should be noticed
and should be applied
prospectively only."
With regard to the
wetlands issue, Stewart
counters project propo-
nents' assertion that no
buffer from wetlands
is required due to wet-
lands in the area being
overlaid with a conser-
vation easement. He
supports county's staffs
contention that the
conservation easement
would not eliminate
the requirement for a
25-foot buffer from the
wetlands.
Representing Sand-
estin at the May 1


meeting, engineer Dean
Burgis said he dis-
agreed with the opinion
provided by Stewart oft
the wetlands issue, but
he agreed to apply the
methodology required
by the county with re-
gard to wetlands.
Representing the
Sandestin Owners' As-
sociation, local attor-
ney Gary Vorbeck as-
serted that there were
many problems with
the Burnt Pine Villas
proposal related to the
Walton County Com-
prehensive Plan. Vor-
beck also urged for any
projects within DRIs
qualifying as major to
be reviewed as major.
However, Renee
Bradley, county plan-
ner, stated that Burnt
Pine Villas would be
reviewed as a minor
development, based on
Stewart's letter.
The TRC voted to ta-
ble Burnt Pines Villas
and require Sandestin
to resubmit their appli-
cation. This was due to
the proposal being con-
tinued more than the
normal two times since
the time it was submit-
ted to the TRC.
Turning to Osprey
Point, Bradley stated
that Sandestin would
be required to have
a Notice of Proposed
Changed (NOPC) ap-
proved before a devel-
opment application
could be considered.
This was due to an al-
leged discrepancy with
open space acreage re-
quirements set forth in
the DRI documents.
Vorbeck noted that
the homeowners he rep-
resents also had many
concerns with this proj-
ect and with what he
described as compre-
hensive plan violations
related to the proposal.

Walton County Beach Sampling results

The Florida Department of Health in Walton County conducts regularly scheduled saltwater beach
water quality monitoring at seven sites through the Healthy Beaches Monitoring Program. Samples are
collected from March through the end of October. Th water samples are analyzed for enteric bacteria
enterococcii) that normally inhabit the intestinal tract of humans and animals, which may cause hu-
man disease, infections, or rashes. The presence of enteric bacteria is an indication of fecal pollution,
which may come from stormwater runoff, pets and wildlife, and human sewage. The purpose of the
Healthy Beaches Monitoring Program is to determine whether Florida has significant coastal beach
water quality problems and whether future beach monitoring efforts are necessary.

Movie Review:


Iron Man 3: Lots of bucks, lots of bangs


By BRUCE COLLIER
I am one of those
Americans who does not
feel the need to choose
between DC Comics
and Marvel. Each "uni-
verse" has its appealing
characters, and those
who leave me cold (the
Incredible Hulk what
is it people love about
the guy?) Then there's


Iron Man
I haven't followed
comics for a long time,
but I seem to recall that
Iron Man was never
quite as famous as some
of the other motley ar-
ray of muscular.societal
outcasts that made up
the Marvel roster of
heroes. The "real" Iron
Man (Tony Stark) was a


that define our quality of
place, and provide an es-
sential source of economic
impact to draw cultural
tourism."
The Mattie Kelly Cul-
tural Arts Village will be
the permanent home of
the MKAF's two signa-
ture events, Concerts in
the Village (May 2- July
3) and the Festival of the
Arts (Oct. 26 27) and will
be a new cultural venue to
host a variety of artistic
performances.
The Cultural Arts Vil-
lage is housed within the
52-acre parcel of land do-
nated' by the late Destin
Matriarch Mattie Kelly.
The new project com-
prises approximately 6.76
acres of green space and
will have the ability to
accommodate audiences
of up to 5,000. Approxi-
mately 79,550 square
feet of this space will be
highly-flexible space for
seating and events of all
kinds. The completed
project includes the Du-
gas Pavilion, a 1,600
square-foot permanent
stage covered by a majes-
tic 4,860 square-foot (60
feet x 81 feet) canvas can-
opy, which opens onto the
Village Green. Additional
amenities include a com-
manding 20-foot stainless
steel sculpture designed
by Frank Ledbetter, a
1,924 square foot (18-20
unit) bathroom building
with 360 square feet of
general storage, and 168
additional on-site grass
parking spaces, which
combined with 309 shared
parking spaces from adja-
cent property owners pro-


billionaire playboy (like
Bruce Wayne) who de-
signed and built weap-
ons systems for the gov-
ernment (not like Bruce
Wayne, who kept all the
good stuff for himself).
Stark got injured, built
himself a really cool
suit of armor, and now
spends his never-end-
ing supply of time and


vide ample parking.
"We are excited about
seeing this project come
to fruition," said Glenn
Cooper, MKAF chairman.
"Our vision is to create a
cultural hub for the re-
gion that will serve fu-
ture generations. We look
forward to building com-
munity partners and alli-
ances and welcoming new
members that will help
us continue this journal
to enhance the cultural
infrastructure along the
Emerald Coast."
The Cultural Arts Vil-
lage's flexible space will
also be available for rent-
al. MKAF is designing an
affordable offering for oth-
er non-profit community
organizations, businesses
and the public to use the
facility for performances,
cultural and corporate
events, weddings and oth-
er community functions.

By attracting large
meetings, groups and cul-
tural travelers, the Cul-
tural Arts Village is ex-
pected to have a powerful
impact on the local econo-
my. The Arts & Economic
Prosperity III study com-
missioned by Americans
for the Arts showed that
communities that invest
in the arts reap the ad-
ditional benefit of jobs,
economic growth, and a
quality of life. Construc-
tion activities have fu-
eled dozens of jobs and
event attendee spending
will generate pump vital
revenue into restaurants,
lodging, retail stores, and
other local businesses.
"This project will have


money fighting evil. Re-
portedly his co-creator
at Marvel (Stan Lee)
modeled Stark on How-
ard Hughes. Hmmm.
Now, because thanks
to modern movie magic,
and the off-kilter acting
chops of Robert Downey
Jr., Iron Man is pulling
down the kind of money
usually banked by the


a dramatic and ongoing
impact on the region's
economy, generating in-
come, jobs, and tax rev-
enues for state and local
governments," said May-
or Sarah "Sam" Seevers.
"Destin's central loca-
tion will allow the Mat-
tie Kelly Cultural Arts
Village to serve residents
and visitors throughout
Northwest Florida by pro-
viding exceptional art and
cultural entertainment."
When fully developed,
the Mattie Kelly Cultural
Arts Village will include
(Phase II) a mixed-use
building that will house
administrative offices,
student art labs and
classrooms, gallery. and
meeting space, and more,
as well as (Phase III) an
Artists' Village providing
a serene, productive envi-
ronment for in-residence
artists to live and educate
the public on the process-
es and methods of produc-
ing art.

The Mattie Kelly Arts
Foundation, a 501-c-3
not-for-profit charitable
arts organization, was
founded in 1995 on the
cultural, educational and
spiritual beliefs of the late
Destin Matriarch, Mattie
Kelly. The Foundation's
mission is to be the lead-
ing art advocate support-
ing cultural arts and stu-
dent educational outreach
serving Okaloosa and
Walton counties in north-
west Florida.


For 18 years, the Mat-
tie Kelly Arts Founda-
tion (MKAF) has created
and presented cultural
programs, bringing art
enrichment, education
and entertainment for the
literary, performing and
visual arts to audiences
of all ages in northwest
Florida. MKAF recently
celebrated the opening of
the new permanent stage,
the Dugas Pavilion, and
expanded Village Green
at the Mattie Kelly Cul-
tural Arts Village in the
heart of Destin.
In August 2012, MKAF
announced the organiza-
tion would receive a gen-
erous $1 million capital
improvement grant from
the Dugas Family Foun-
dation to make Phase I of
the Mattie Kelly Cultural
Arts Village a reality.

"We have been on the
fast track with this proj-
ect in an effort to ensure
it was ready in time for
our spring/summer con-
cert series, which begins
May 2," said MKAF Ex-
ecutive Director Marcia
Hull. "Everything came
together seamlessly,
thanks to generosity of
the Dugas Family and the
hard work and dedication
of the MKAF chairman,
Glenn Cooper, the board,
our executive committee,
DAG Architects, Inner-
light Engineering, Beau-
champ Construction and
Construction Services
Company of Florida. This
cultural facility will offer
our coastal communities

Man of Steel, the Caped
Crusader and the Rebel
Alliance. Iron Man 3, di-
rected by Shane Black,
opened last weekend
(in 2D and 3D) to near-
record box office. Is it
worth seeing? Depends.
I have never seen the
first Iron Man movie in
its entirety. That did
not get in the way of my
seeing and generally
enjoying Iron Man 2. In
the interim between 2
and 3, there was anoth-
er film featuring Iron
Man, last summer's The
Avengers. I have not
seen it. I think I would
have enjoyed Iron Man
3 more if I had, so be
warned. There are re-
curring references to it,
and Stark's emotional
situation at the start
of this film seems to be
based on it.
The plot of Iron Man
3 would take much too
long to describe, but it
involves a world-class
terrorist called The
Mandarin (Ben Kings-
ley), a steadily tighten-
ing plot to assassinate
the American presi-
dent, an arrogant ge-
nius scientist named
Aldrich Killian (Guy
Pearce), and some dirty
viral biogenetics called
Extremis. You really
don't need to know any
of that, but if you're a
Marvel fan, you prob-
ably already do.
All of this is buoyed
up by the acting com-
pany Downey, Pearce,
Kingsley, Don Cheadle,
Gwyneth Paltrow, Jon
Favreau arid Rebecca
Hall and by those pric-
ey, shiny special effects.
Iron Man 3 has about as
many as I have seen in
any film. It's breathtak-
ing, at times confusing,
and at times stifling.

My attention and per-
ception have not been
honed (shortened?) by
extended exposure to
video gaming, but I defy
anyone to follow every-
thing that happens in
Iron Man 3 on only one
viewing. I compared
it with Thor from two
summers ago. OK, Thor
is not a high-tech in-
ventor like Tony Stark,
but that film's director
(Kenneth Branagh) had
no problem taking a few
quiet moments to let the
viewer process the story
and absorb the charac-
ters.
That said, Iron Man
3 has some good mo-
ments, especially those
that occur between
Stark and a latch-
key kid named Harley
Keener (Ty Simpkins).
The overlooked son of
a single parent, Harley
has some of Stark's in-
ventor chutzpah, and
gives Tony a chance to
work on his non-existent
fathering skills. Their
scenes are some of the
movie's most unforced
(and quiet) moments.
There's a fair amount
of humor Downey is
an excellent physical
comedian and some
inspiring moments. I
especially liked a scene
where Iron Man has to
figure out how to res-
cue 11 people falling
from a plane, with only
two parachutes. In fact,
Iron Man 3 is a collec-
tion of good moments.
Whether they add up
to a good movie is your
call.
By the way, you prob-
ably know to wait until
the end of the credits
of any Marvel movie.
"Tony Stark will re-
turn," just in case you
didn't.

Coastal Branch Library's June


Artist of the Month Mary Zahner


Mary Zahner is the
Coastal Library's June
Artist of the Month. Her
work will be displayed
at the Coastal Branch
Library in Santa Rosa
Beach for the month of
June.
Zahner says,"as the
oldest of eight children
growing up in Kansas
City, some of my earli-
est memories were of
my mother engaging
in various artistic pur-
suits."
She had trained at
the Kansas City Art
Institute before marry-
ing, and, though quite
busy raising so many
children, found time
to pursue her artistic
interests by painting
t-shirts, decoupaging
cigar boxes, painting
wooden decoys, etc.
"I had no talent with
painting, but devel-
oped a love for sewing.
My sewing was always
a hobby that took sec-
ond place to my educa-
tion and work. I went
on to finish bachelors'
degrees in psycholo-
gy and history, as well
as a Master's and Ph.D.
in psychology. For over
20 years I have been
a. management con-
sultant, and currently
work for a firm in St.
Louis.
"While I have gotten
great satisfaction work-


ing with my manage-
ment clients over the
years, my sewing hobby
has gradually grown
into a very important
part of my life. I made
my first 'primitive' quilt
for my sister's college
graduation thirty-five
years ago. Since then I
have made a number of
quilts for my husband
and I, as well as for var-
ious family members.
"Several years ago
my mother and I started
collaborating on some
art quilts. When my
mother's 'nest emptied'
some twenty years ago,
she settled on painting
in oil and has displayed
her work in various
shows around the Kan-
sas City area. At age
85 she continues her
oil painting, and has
painted over two hun-
dred paintings. My
mother does not sew
and I do not paint. So
together we had to fig-
ure out how to take a
plain piece of material,
paint it and quilt it to
become a piece of fabric
art. For our work, Mom
switches from oil paint
to fabric paint. The
way we often start is
that she takes the 'can-
vas' (a piece of muslin),
sketches a picture on it,
does some painting and
then hands it over to
me. I applique material


over certain parts of the
painted fabric, do some
thread painting, quilt
the entire piece, and
then finish it off. Two
of our quilts ("Beach
Reunion" and "Storm")
have been semi-final-
ists in an international
quilting competition
in Paducah, Kentucky
(American Quilter's
Society). We have also
displayed some of our
quilts at the St. An-
drew's Bay Quilter's
Guild annual quilt show
(and won a second place
and honorable mentions
in our categories).
"Today J spend as
much time quilting as
I can. I prefer more of


the art quilts than the
traditional quilts. I be-
long to the St. Andrew's
Bay Quilter's Guild and
the Emerald Coast Mod-
ern Quilt Guild. Not all
of my quilts are collab-
orative works with my
mother, but the ones we
have done together are
the most special. She
has been my inspira-
tion over the years and
we hope to do more col-
laborative art quilts in
the future."

The Coastal Branch
Library is located at
437 Greenway Trail,
Santa Rosa Beach. The
