State offers $19.5 million



to widen U.S. 331


By ASHLEY AMASON
In a press conference,
Monday, Jan. 12, County
Administrator Ronnie Bell,
County Commissioner Sara
Comander, and Freeport
Mayor Mickey Marse an-
nounced that $19.5 million
of state and federal funds
are available to widen U.S.
Highway. 331.
Currently, just over $6


million of the $19.5 million
has been secured, and will
be used to four-lane d seg-
ment of U.S. 331 from Owl's
Head to Edgewood Circle.
The secured $6,363,445 is
a triumph in times of con-
tinuous budget cuts. The
remaining funds are to be
allocated upon the Florida
Department of Transporta-
tion (FDOT) receiving writ-


ten direction from Walton
County to re-direct the re-
maining Transportation
Regional Incentive Program
(TRIP) funds, written agree-
ment from Walton County to
accept the "old alignment"
of U.S. 331 between SR-20
in Freeport and Owl's Head,
and written agreement from
Walton County to design
the multi-laning project


utilizing state funds that
the FDOT currently has
programmed in fiscal year
2009 for this effort. Upon
Governor Crist's approval of
such proposals, completing
these steps would result in
accruing $13,144,187, total-
ing $19.5 million, just short
of the requested $24 million
the county commissioners
say is needed to ease the


congestion on U.S. 331.
"This [allocation of funds]
is.. .the culmination of about
eight months worth of work
between a lot of different en-
tities" said Bell.
"The county received, over
a year ago, a TRIP grant to
put in two three-lane, one-
mile segments on the 4.2

Two traffic accidents in county leave one dead, three injured


By BRUCE COLLIER
Two traffic accidents, tak-
ing place last week and over
the weekend, left one dead
and three injured. All took
place in Walton County.
On Jan. 7, two trucks,
traveling south and east re-
spectively, collided when the
eastbound vehicle struck
the southbound vehicle near
the intersection of U.S. 98


and Sugar Drive. Florida
. Highway Patrol (FHP) in-
vestigator Sgt. R.C. Livings-
ton reported that the east-
bound vehicle "was unable
to take evasive action prior
to striking the right side" of
the southbound vehicle. The
driver of the southbound
vehicle, Glenn E. Stephens,
50, of Santa Rosa Beach, re-
ceived minor injuries. The
driver of the eastbound ve-


hicle, David J. Cook, 21, of
Chipley, was seriously in-
jured. Alcohol was appar-
ently not a factor, but charg-
es are reportedly pending.
The second accident took
place on Jan. 11, on U.S.
331, on the Clyde B. Wells
Bridge, and also involved
two trucks. FHP investi-
gator Tpr. Loren Slick re-
ported that two trucks were
traveling north and south


respectively. Driving the
southbound vehicle was
Daniel Fritz Edwards, 40, of
Santa Rosa Beach. Driving
the northbound vehicle was
Jimmy Russell Manucy, 49,
also of Santa Rosa Beach.
According to the report, Ed-
wards drove left of the cen-
ter line and into the north-
bound lane. The two vehicles
collided, and both rotated
counter-clockwise. Edwards


was killed, and Manucy was
transported to Sacred Heart
Hospital in critical condi-
tion. Neither driver was re-


portedly wearing a seat belt,
and an investigation into
whether alcohol may have
been a factor is pending.


Closing notice for City of DFS
The City of DeFuniak Springs will be closed on Mon-
day, Jan. 19, 2009 in observance of Martin Luther King Jr.
Day.
Garbage and trash pickup will run as scheduled.


Class-size

reduction

hits home

By ASHLEYAMASON
At the start of the 2008-
2009 school-year, the Wal-
ton County School Board
(WCSB) amended a policy
that had formerly allowed
home-schooled students to
enroll in courses in the pub-
lic school system.
The amended policy
no longer permits home-
schooled students to enroll
in any class in the public
school system unless the
class is required for an extra-
curricular activity in which
the student is involved.
"Our policy was amend-
ed the beginning of this
school year to provide ac-
cess only to those courses
that we are required to do
by law," said Marsha Pugh,
supervisor of instruction
and curriculum. "Students
who choose to participate
in extracurricular activities
must be given access to the
curricular courses that are
required for students who
are participating in such
activities. For example, if a
student wanted to partici-
pate in football and weight-
lifting is a required course,
then that student, byjlaw
must be given access to that
course. However; any other:
decision, t6 allow, a ho.me-ed,
student into the curriculum
is strictly a district.choice,"
explained Pugh. ,.
Pugh emphasized the
state requirement for class-
size reduction is driving this
amendment. "We are bound
to be in compliance with
what the state class- [-size]
requirements are. So if we
have a student that opts to
come in, there's a very good
chance they could put us
over class size. Yet they're
there only one period, we
would end up being out of
compliance. We might even
have to hire an additional
teacher just because that
student came in and put us
over the class size. So that's
one of the major reasons we
decided to go strictly with
what the law required us to
do."
Pugh acknowledged a
"very few" homeschooled stu-
dents are currently enrolled,
in curriculum not associ-
ated with extracurricular
activities because the policy
was overlooked at a school.
"We're going to grandfather
those students in through
this year, but they will be
notified that beginning next
school-year the policy will
be fully in effect."

Walker


hearing.


set for


March 9
By JEFFREY POWELL
Attorneys for former Wal-
ton County Commissioner
Herman Walker filed three
motions during what was
supposed to be an infraction
hearing on Jan. 7. Judge
David Green denied the first
motion calling for additional
depositions to be obtained,
citing precedents contrary
to the motion. The second
motion asked for an en-
largement of time for the fu-
ture arguments to be heard.
In this instance Green ap-
proved the motion, saying, "I
will allow more time for this
case due to the nature of the
charges." The third motion
was left without a ruling as
the judge had already al-
lowed for an enlargement of
time. That motion was one
for a continuance.
Walker faces multiple
charges stemming from a
traffic accident that took
the life of 38-year-old Eric
Buharfp in, north Walton
County. Walker maintained
1hi"'hot-gdiity plea' during
Wednesday's proceedings.
Walker 'has been charged
with passing on a curve, ex-
ceeding maximum weight on
his tractor-trailer rig, owner
permit use with defective*
equipment, mis-adjusted
brakes and no, periodic in-
spection.
Walker declined an op-
portunity to comment con-
crning the day's proceed-
ings.
Green set a final.hearing
date for March 9, at 9 a.m.

The New


same-old Deal

By RON KELLEY

A song title from the 1979 *movie classic "All That Jazz"
perfectly sums up the newly-proposed "fix" for the ailing
and battered U.S. economy. It's called "Everything Old Is
New Again."
According to government economic analysts, Ameri-
ca is in a recession and may be headed for a depression.
No matter what it's called, things have already begun to
'worsen. Thousands have been laid-off, factories and busi-'
nesses have closed, the stock market is positively bearish
and lots of people are outraged over how their hard-earned
tax dollars have been distributed to financial companies
(who decided to hand out employee bonuses, presumably,
for helping to derail the banking industry) and automobile
companies (Chrysler spent hundreds of thousands of your
tax dollars taking out ads in major newspapers throughout
America thanking the public for bailing them out of their
self-induced crisis).
There is plenty of blame to go around for this debacle
inboth Republican and Democratic leadership. Recently,
President-elect Obama has offered a new New Deal (econic
stimulus plan) eerily similar to that of President Franklin
D. Roosevelt. If approved by Congress and implemented, it
should have much the same effect. To understand what that
means, we have to look at The Great Depression and FDR's
New Deal.
The Great Depression began with Black Tuesday, the
stock market crash of 1929. By 1931, unemployment had
reached 16 percent. Within two years, 89 percent of stock
value had been wiped out, the entire economy had shrunk
by 33 percent, unemployment had reached 25 percent and
thousands of banks had closed. There was no unemploy-
ment insurance, no Social Security, no welfare, no Medicare
and no Medicaid.
FDR's solution was to institute massive federal spend-
ing, impose tougher new regulations on business and raise
taxes. Yet for the next 11 years, unemployment never fell
below 14 percent. Roosevelt's Secretary. of Treasury, Henry
Morgenthau said, "We are spending more money than we
have ever spent before, and it does not work. We have never
made good on our promises. I say after eight years of this
administration, we have just as much unemployment as
when we started and an enormous debt, to boot."
Politically speaking, the New Deal was a huge success.
Roosevelt enjoyed landslide election victories in the 1930s
and Democrats were kings. However, economically, the
New Deal was a financial disaster. For those 11 years, his.
New Deal, designed to restore proslperity, was a complete
failure. As much as I admire Roosevelt, this is a cold, hard
fact. Only upon entering World War II did the U.S. economy
begin to recuperate from more than a 'decade of economic
ruin.
For a while, America was back in "high cotton."
After the Carter administration left the country with
an inflation rate of 13 percent and interest rates of 21 per-
cent (which,' according to conventional Keynesian laws of
economics, is supposed to be impossible at the same time),
President Reagan introduced across-the-board tax cuts of
25 percent, and cut the highest rates from 70 percent to 28
percent. It took about two years for the tax cuts to kick in,
but from about 1983 on, the U.S. was riding high again and
it stayed that way until Reagan left office, having created
20 million new jobs.
Fast forward to.,our current economic collapse, with 40
percent of all stock values wiped out in a year, staggering
job losses, foreclosures, and unemployment near 7 percent
and rising. We begin 2009 with a $1.2 trillion-dollar deficit,
and a loss of about 8 percent of the entire U.S. economy.
President-elect Obama intends to add a stimulus package
of $700 billion to $1 trillion, which is between 5-7 percent
of our gross domestic product. The resulting deficit would
be twice as large as Reagan's, which was the largest since
World War II.
, Under this new New Deal, hundreds of billions will go out
in checks of $500 to $1,000 to workers and also to individu-
als who do not even pay taxes. Other billions will go to state
and municipal coffers. 'Other hundreds of billions will go
for "infrastructure" projects, which is a synonym for pork-
barrel pet projects, much like "The Bridge To Nowhere."
According to Martin Hutchinson, contributing editor of
Money Morning at MarketOracle.com, "the first half of 2009
may see a period of unexpected strength, with cheap mort-
gage money producing an apparent bottom in the housing
market, a bottoming out and initial recovery in U.S. gross
domestic product (GDP), and an additional bounce in U.S.
stock prices. Don't be fooled if this happens (though by all
means try and make a buck or two out of the short-term
stock market bounce). The Obama "stimulus package" and
massive federal government slush funds will exact a price -
in the second and probably deeper leg of a lengthy recession
- the much-feared 'double-dip' downturn."
If President-elect Obama does not intend to raise taxes,
he is going to have to borrow $2 trillion from foreigners
(likely China) or U.S. taxpayers, otherwise the U.S. Trea-
sury will just have to start printing more money. Since
we're no longer on the gold standard, this will mean more
inflation. In fact, I can't think of an example anywhere in
our history where such a massive spending campaign actu-
ally restored prosperity. Perhaps this will be a first, but if


President-elect Obama's New Deal doesn't work, then the
unemployment, homelessness, poverty and hunger of the
1930s could become a reality in the coming years.
Then everything old really will be new again.

Editor:
Last week's edition of the Herald ran a letter from a
representative of the Walton County Education Associa-
tion citing the, hardships imposed upon educators due to
the Florida Legislature's recent budget cuts. The solution
suggested by the writer was quite simple, just raise taxes.
I ask, why stop there? Why not just have government take
100 percent of every paycheck (government employees ex-
cluded, of course) then seize all private property, including
bank accounts and use those revenues to pay for educa-
tion. Then and only then, if there's any money left, (ha-ha),
our benevolent leaders in government could "redistribute"
it among those greedy, money-hoarding taxpayers as it
sees fit.
I know, I know, Al Gore said that the American people
are greatly under-taxed and how can you argue with the
fiery intellect of Al Gore? I mean, come on, he invented the
Internet and discovered global warming. But, I'm quite
sure I've read that, according to the National Center of Ed-
ucation Statistic, we already spend more per student than
almost any other country, yet our students rank only 33rd
among industrialized nations in math and 27th in science.
If more money is the answer, why do our students rank
below students in what are arguable Third-World coun-
tries such as the Slovak Republic and Hungary? Both these
countries spend roughly a-third as much per student as
the United States. Hey, but wnlat a bunch of losers right?
I mean, those kids are really getting the shaft. Those Slo-
vakians aren't riding around in new air-conditioned buses
(half full) with stereo systems, are they? Those Hungarian
kids don't have .the privilege of moving from a mere 30-
year-old high -chool (worn out,. of coursOe across thestreet
into a brand new school (so badly needed).
I'm sure those higher-achieving students will never
know the tranquil bliss of meandering through the nature
trails at the "Biophilia Center" while being indoctrinated
in biodiversity, conservation and global warming. No, in-
stead they'll have to settle, for a useful education and the
drudgery of the "3R's."
Well now, I'm convinced, raise those taxes and what dif-
ference does it.really make if our children won't,be able to
compete internationally for high-paying jobs? As long as
we just keep pouring more money into the system, that's
all that really matters right? :
I have an idea that may seem odd, abstract even, but
here goes. Implicit in the title of education is a higher edu-
cation and, as a corollary, knowledge and understanding
that surpasses those of us among the "great unwashed."
Many of those educators in elected positions have pro-
claimed their "proven leadership." Well, I say now would
be an opportune time to prove it. My granny, a survivor
of the Depression, had a simple philosophy when money
became scared, "children, we're just gonna have to make
do with what we have." Business and individuals all across
this once-fruited plain are having to "make do." Can you?
The Hungarians can.
Now, I know someone out there just can't wait to tell me
"you don't, care about the students." Well, consider this: in
the blink of any eye, those will be adults, hopefully taxpay-
ing adults and they, like the rest of us, will be enslaved
to the debt you have placed upon them for years. Perhaps
they will be consoled by the fact that all that you spent in
their name bought them a prestigious No. 33 ranking.
What's that you say? Our schools get A+- rating on
FCAT. Great, but I've always wondered just how stringent
can grading criteria be that is assembled and administered
by state educators to fellow educators. Isn't that the pro-
verbial fox guarding the hen house? Wouldn't a better as-
sessment of success be to get feedback from your customer?
That would be the students, the university they go on to or
their employer. I'm just guessing that the parents of those
students who have passed FCAT, but then have to pay for
remedial studies before taking college level courses don't
put much stock in FCAT as a means to measure academic
success.
Finally, the aforementioned writer seemed adamant
that we understand "these cuts hurt." Speaking for the
roughly 45 percent of Americans still footing the bill for a
government-supported monopoly, These Taxes Hurt!
In parting, please reflect upon this:
"We still find the greedy hand of government thrusting
itself into every corner and crevice of industry and grasp-
ing at the spoil of the multitude. Invention is continually
exercised to furnish new pretenses for revenue and taxa-
tion. It watches prosperity as its prey and permits none to
escape without a tribute." -Thomas Paine

Editor,
This is apparently the Argyle branch of the SunTrust
Bank in Jacksonville, Florida, calling to find out why you
are no longer making deposits. This called was triggered
by two ACH trial deposits and an ACH withdrawal from
another financial institution. The lady asked me since I
had moved was there not a SunTrust Bank near my new
residence. I told her that yes, in fact, I could walk to the
SunTrust Bank from my new residence rather than drive
to my new bank. I told her that in a matter of days I would
go to SunTrust for the purposes of closing my accounts.
She asked me why? I told her because they terminated
American Call Center representatives or either stopped
hiring new American call center representatives in favor of
those that were physically located in Mexico. I think they
fired the American workers because lately all. I ever got
was a Mexican on the phone giving me some bogus Ameri-
can name like "Susan" or "John" that you know was not
*their given name by their Mexican mother. I went on to
say that these big banks had the audacity to stick their
hand out for taxpayer money to bail them out when after
they have sent jobs that were occupied by lower and lower
middle-income Americans overseas or to Mexico.
The politicians and the rich do not pay taxes. They can
afford to either move their holdings overseas or hire law-
yers and accountants so that they pay little, if any, taxes.
The money that these greedy banks that have foreclosed
on too many American homes received from the American
taxpayer came from credit (money we do not even have)
in the form of the purchase of treasury bonds by the Japa-
nese, oil-rich Muslim Arab nations and the Chinese.
Remember the Chinese? They are the ones'that put toxic
substances in not just pet food, but human food, baby toys,
as well as growing list on many other things, just so that
they can stretch their profit. Most piracy of American soft-
ware and movies comes from China. Do yourselves a favor.
Find a nice community bank or credit union that actually
employs American workers.

Editor:
A few weeks back, you may remember that I wrote the
paper asking for cards and notes on behalf of my husband,
Clay Fulcher, who used to live and work in DeFuniak. Un-
fortunately, I have to now share with you that he did pass
away peacefully on December 30, but not before he received
so many lovely cards, emails, and phone cards from friends
and former customers!
It was so gratifying to see how many people responded
upon hearing of his illness. He was very touched and up-
lifted by the kind notes. Many people wrote about their ex-
periences with him at work and told him how much they
appreciated his honesty, fairness and willingness to go out
of his way to help. I can not begin to tell you the impact all
those wonderful compliments had in his final days. It truly
gave him peace at the end to know he would be remem-
bered as a good man who was loved. There cannot be any
finer legacy than that.
Too often, we wait until someone has already left us to
think about what they mean to us. Although it certainly
comforts a person's loved ones to express thoughts of how
much the deceased meant to us, how much more wonderful
it would be if the person themself heard those words while
still on this earth!
I know that Clay would be very happy if he knew that his
experience in being honored before passing would prompt
others to seek out someone they care about right now and
tell them so! Please do not let another day pass without
reaching out to those in your life that you count on every
day, but may take for granted. You will dearly miss them
when they are gone, but it will be too late to tell them after
they have left you. Please take a minute to say something
kind today to someone who matters to you.
You will both be blessed! Many thanks to the wonderful
people of DeFuniak.
Kathy, Zach and A.J. Fulcher

mile segment from Owl's
Head up to Edgewood Circle
to alleviate some of the safe-
ty issues along that road -
,to, basically, have passing
lanes," Bell explained.
Once the TRIP grant was'
awarded to three-lane the
segment, a proposal was
made to the FDOT to in-
stead four-lane the entire
segment. Bell acknowledged
funds to four-lane the entire
segment lack approximately
$4.8 million.
"Probably from the time
we get started [2010], if ev-
erything goes forward, we're
still probably looking five
years out before you see a
four-lane [segment from
Owl's Head to Edgewood
Circle]." Bell went on to say
that hopefully, by that time,
additional funding will be
provided to complete the en-
tire 4.2 miles.
Commissioner Comander

"I want to commend Ronnie Bell, because he's
the one that had this little seed started, and Larry
Kelly with DOT, he's such a breath of fresh air!
Instead of saying 'we can't do that' or 'we've, never
done that, 'Larry is one to look out of the box to try
to make it happen, to make it work." Walton Com-
missioner Sara' Comander, regarding the four-laning of a
section of U.S. 331.


declared, "I want to com-
mend Ronnie tBell, because
he's the one that had this
little seed started, and
Larry Kelly with DOT, he's
such a breath of fresh air!
Instead of saying we can't
do that or we've never done
that, Larry is one to look out
of the box to try to make it
happen, to make it work."
Marse echoed Comander's
sentiments, claiming Bell


has been the "spearhead"
behind this project.
Comander continued, "In
this day and time, when we
need economic stimulus,
this is a wonderful example
of state government and
county governments work-
ing together to make things
happen for our citizens." Bell
added "I think it's a model
that can be used around the
state."

some concerns about [ap-
proving] it before we know
exactly what our budget cut
is going to be like, but I do
have some serious concerns
about some language that
was agreed to and I voiced
those concerns to the nego-
tiator and the Superinten-
dent. I think the language
is going to end up costing us
more in the long run than
the money we've agreed to."
Board member Barnhill
addressed Davis'- concerns,
"My only comment is that
I plan to vote for it because
I'm not going to penalize the
ESPs for our inability to dis-
charge the negotiator."
South Walton High
School's cross country
teams and Coach Greg Ni-
emiec were recognized at
the meeting, too. The boys'
team finished seventh in the
Class 1-A fall sports team
academic awards with a cu-
mulative GPA of 3.581. The
girls' team finished ninth
with a GPA of 3.693. Fresh-
man Jacob Luze was Walton
County's only representative
in the boys state champion-
ships, finishing 52nd out of
178. This is Coach Niemiec's
first year.
Moving to the agenda,
the board unanimously ap-
proved the amendment to
policy 6.13 regarding years
of service for administrators
and instructional person-
nel. Under this amendment,
administrators and instruc-

tional personnel can no lon-
ger receive credit for years
of experience for which they
are drawing retirement. Di-
rector of Human Resources
Sonny Nolin explained, "Ef-
fectively, prior to the change
of this board policy, you
could have a retired princi-
pal come in here and they
would start out at the top
of the (pay) scale, at year
20. But if they come in here
now and are drawing retire-
ment, they do not get credit
for those years for pay pur-
poses."
The board then discussed
approval of'the administra-
tive salary schedule. Super-
intendent Anderson moved
to approve the schedule.
Board member Davis inter-
jected; "I sure would like to
postpone this until after the
budget workshop. To autho-
rize any raise at this point
would be putting the cart
before the horse." Chairman
Bill Laird and Vice-Chair-
person Sharon 'Roberts
agreed with Davis. The mo-
tion carried with four ayes
to postpone the approval of
fhe administrative salary
schedule, Darrell Barnhill
against the delay.
Subsequently, the board
unanimously approved the
salary schedules of the Su-
perintendent's secretary

mendations unanimously


carried. Director of Trans-
portation Mac Work was re-
tired from his position, with
Wayne Miller currently
serving as his replacement
until "further decisions are
made," said Superintendent
Anderson.
Vice-Chairperson Roberts
was the only board member
to oppose approval of the
draft for a religious neu-
trality training manual for
school administrators, say-
ing this manual put school
principals "on the chopping
block more than they al-
ready are." Approval of the
draft passed four to one. The
manual will be adapted from
its draft form to fit the Wal-
ton County school district.

Steak and burger fundraising event


The Boys & Girls Clubs
of the Emerald Coast De-
Funiak Springs Teen Cen-
ter will host its first annual
fundraising event on Thurs-
day, Feb. 5 at 6 p.m., at the
DeFuniak Springs Commu-
nity Center. Proceeds will
support the annual-'operat-
ing costs of the Teen-Center.
Corporate and community
sponsors are being sought
for the event.
Tickets for the Steak and


Burger Event will be avail-
able for purchase in the
coming weeks. The event
will 'feature a presentation
on the accomplishments of
the Teen Center, the selec-
tion of their "Youth of the
Year," as well as what the
future holds for the Club. A
key-note speaker will also
address the crowd. Current
Teen Center members will
attend the event and share
their personal experiences


with attendees.
The goal of the event is to
raise funds to help the Teen
Center become self-sustain-'
ing. Last March, the Teen
Center started with funding
from the Boys & Girls Clubs
of the Emerald Coast Foun-
dation, which provided the
revenue to operate the club
for the first year. Addition-
ally, the city of DeFuniak
Springs and the Walton
County Board 'f County
Commissioners 'graciously
provided the facility for the
center.
One of the successful at-
tributes of Boys & Girls
Clubs models ,across the
country is their ability to
operate through community
donations and fundraisers.
Each center is responsi-
ble for raising funds to pay
for the operating expenses
of the club, which currently
at the Teen Center consists
of staff salaries.

Florida will celebrate
Arbor Day on Jan. 16. A
tree can manufacture five
pounds of pure oxygen a

carbon dioxide. This helps
to fight the greenhouse ef-
fect that threatens our sur-
vival. Carefully places trees
can provide cooling summer
shade and maximize energy
gains from winter sunlight,
cutting annual home energy
us by as-much as 15 percent
to 35 percent. For best re-
sults plant trees to the east
and west of a house. Plant-
ing trees to shade air con-
ditioning compressor units
can increase cooling efficien-
cy as much as 10 percent.
A mature tree can provide


the cooling equivalent of
10-room-size air condition-
ing units.
Global warming is a
phenomenon that may af-
fect us all in the future. A
recent poll in Time Maga-
zine found that 85 percent
of its respondents feel the
threat of global warming is
an enormous problem. Ev-
ery tree we plant helps cool
the earth and clean the air.
One acre of thriving forest
absorbs six tons of C02 and
puts out four tons of oxygen.
Trees are also a vital com-
ponent in our landscape for
-supporting wildlife. Birds
and small animals need
concealed places for nest-
ing and hiding from preda-
tors. Planting evergreens
in small groups will attract
more birds to a yard.
The sale will have other
, trees and plants available
that benefit butterflies; red-
bud trees, native azaleas,
plums, butterfly bushes,

This is the best time of

A LOCAL HOSPICE has opportunities for all volunteers.
Shown here are volunteers overseeing a bingo game.



Hospice


volunteers


essential


Throughout the Unit-
ed States there are over
400,000 hospice volunteers
at work in hospices. They
are an essential part of the
hospice philosophy of care
which recognizes that dying
is not just a medical event
but a personal journey. Vol-
unteers are important mem-
bers of an interdisciplinary
team working to "de-institu-
tionalize" the dying experi-
ence and provide a more hu-
mane system of care for the
terminally ill patient and
their family. In fact, federal
law requires that at least
five percent of patient care
hours be provided by volun-
teers.
Hospice volunteers find it
personally gratifying, intel-
lectually stimulating, and
emotionally meaningful to
assist those in need at a
critical point in their lives.
Many of these volunteers
were introduced to hospice,
through the death of a fam-
ily member and understand
first hand the value of hos-
pice care, but nearly 20 per-,
cent of volunteers are new
to hospice...Volunteers con-
sistently report that helping
the terminally ill through
hospice is not about dying,
but about living.
Regardless of the location,
a local hospice will have op-
portunities for: volunteers.
While some hospices have
specific minimum age re-
quirements, participants
generally range in age from
teens to senior citizens.
While volunteer opportuni-
ties can vary greatly from
one hospice to another, all
hospices strive to construc-
tively utilize the time and
talents of those who answer
the call to serve. Some vol-
unteers may have profes-
sional skills or specialized
expertise, but most are just
people who want to help
their friends and neighbors
and serve their community.
For more information
about specific needs you
can contact Emerald Coast
Hospice at (850)689-0300.
Some of the wide range of
opportunities available for
local hospice volunteers can
include:
Support for patients. This
can include -visiting, read-
-ing, taking walks, writing
letters, bringing in' music,
and supervising visits with
pets
Respite and support for
family members. Volunteers
can assist with shopping or
household maintenance, or


stay with family and allow
caregivers the opportunity
to take care of necessary
errands and get some time
away from the house. Fam-
ily members also appreciate
visits from a compassionate
friend.
Bereavement support
programs. Hospice volun-
teers can work closely with
the hospice's professional
bereavement staff in du-
ties that range from assist-
ing with a support group to
serving refreshments and
helping with mailings to cli-
ents and families.
Administrative work. A
volunteer with clerical skills
can serve a hospice by help-
ing in the office with simple
administrative duties.
To ensure that all volun-
teers are equipped for the
challenge of working with
the dying, Emerald Coast
Hospice requires that vol-
unteers complete orienta-
tion, and training sessions,
as well as submit to a rou-
tine background check. It's
important that volunteers
understand the history of
hospice care, specifically
Emerald Coast Hospice. De-
pending on area of service,
additional training may be
available or necessary.
To learn more details
about Emerald Coast Hos-
pice's specific needs and to
begin volunteering call Ann
O'Connor at (850)689-0300.

WCSO deputy arrested on drug charges


,On Jan. 9, Walton Couh-
ty'Sheriffs Deputy Christo-
plier J. Barnes was arrested
by deputy sheriff/investiga-
tors of the Walton. County
Sheriffs Office (WCSO).
The arrest is the result of
information which had been
developed by the Okaloo-
sa County Sheriffs Office
(OCSO). The OCSO shared
the information with WCSO
in a joint investigative effort.


Barnes has been charged
with one count of trafficking
in oxycontin, one count of
trafficking in hydrocodone,
one count of obtaining pre-
scriptions by fraud and one
count of doctor shopping.
All counts are in violation
of Florida State Statutes
Chapter 893. Barnes was
serving as a WCSO deputy
at the time of the suspected
criminal activity leading to


the arrest.
Sheriff Mike Adkinson
said, "The arrest of this in-
dividual is not a reflection of
the good and hard working
men and women of the Wal-
ton County Sheriffs Office.
We have very competent
professional deputies and
employees who are as con-
cerned as I am in ensuring

face charges


By JEFFREY POWELL
Christopher Ross Crober,
22, of 3130 Oak Grove Road
in Westville was arrested on
Jan. 7 and charged with two
counts of battery, one count
of property damage exceed-
ing $1,000 and trespassing.
According to a sworn com-
plaint, Crober did "willfully
and intentionally wrap his
hands around the [unnamed]
victim's neck," cutting off
the air flow making it im-
possible to breathe. The sup-
pect is also alleged to have
"willfully and intentionally
committed battery by strik-
ing the victim with closed
fist to the face." Crober also
allegedly caused damage
to a vehicle and committed
trespass by returning to


the scene after being told to
leave. Walton County Sher-
iffs Deputy Mindy Shelton
made the arrest.
In an unrelated case,
Charles Michael Roberts,
31, of Santa Rosa Beach,
was arrested on two felony
counts of lewd and lascivi-
ous behavior with a mi-
nor between 12 16 years
old. According to a Walton
County Sheriffs Office re-
port, Roberts inappropri-
ately touched an unnamed
minor (under 16 years old)
and also exposed himself
to her. Roberts is a Florida
registered sexual offender.
Walton County Sheriffs in-
vestigator Kristina Angel-
ique Yates made the arrest.

D&H Sand files suit against Walton County


By DOTTY NIST
Following a Nov. 20,
2008 directive by the Wal-
ton County Code Enforce-
ment Board to stop opera-
tions, D&H Sand has filed a
lawsuit in Walton County's
First Judicial Circuit.
The Rock Hill Road-ar-
ea sand mining operation
has petitioned the court to
quash or eliminate the coun-
ty board's cease and desist
order, which also imposed
fines and penalties on D&H
Sand for alleged violations
of the Walton County Land
Development Code: The
lawsuit, an appeal classified
as a petition for writ of cer-
tiorari, was filed on behalf
of the sand mining company
on Jan. 5, 2009 by local at-
torney Dana Matthews.
In addition to the quash-
ing of the final order result-
ing from the Nov. 20 code
enforcement board decision,
the petitioners are seeking
a court decision requiring
the board to "adhere to the
terms" of its previous order
to the sand mining company,
which was rendered on Aug.
14 of last year, following the
board's July 17 meeting.
It was a determination by


the board that D&H Sand
had allegedly violated that
order that had resulted
in the Nov. 20 directive to
cease and desist, the fines
and penalties.
Violations alleged against
the sand mining company
involve land clearing and
scraping outside the sand
pit area as it existed at the
time of the board's Aug. 14
final order. That final order
found the business in viola-
tion for the charges of al-
legedly operating without a
development order and for
allegedly storing concrete
on the property contrary to
allowable uses within the
land use classification.
The Aug. 14 final order
required complete removal
of the concrete. It also re-
quired a survey from the
sand mining company, with-
in 14 days. According to dis-
cussion at the July 17 code
enforcement board meet-
ing, the survey was to show
the current pit area where
sand mining was ongoing,
and operations were to be
allowed to continue within
those confines only, as long
as other conditions specified
by the board at that time
were met, among them fil-


ing an application for a de-
velopment order.
However, as written, the
final order resulting from
that board decision read,
with reference to the survey
and mining area, only that
D&H Sand must "provide
proof to code enforcement
staff, which shall include a
sealed survey, that the sand
mining is being conducted
within the property lines of
the existing property owned
by the Respondent" (D&H
Sand).
On Oct. 10, D&H Sand
was presented with an
amended final order, in
which Bill Wyrough, code
enforcement board attorney,
stated that a review of the
July 17 meeting minutes
had revealed a discrepancy
between the motion passed
by the board and the Aug.
'14 final order.
The final order was
amended to call for a "sur-
vey of the metes and bounds
of the mining operations,
that mining operations will
not expand horizontally on
the property."
These instructions were
repeated by the code en-
forcement board on Oct.
16, when D&H Sand owner


Chautauqua From the Porch


By ANN ROBINSON
From my porch I can see
the lake, the Chautauqua
Hall of Brotherhood and al-
most all the way to Baldwin
Avenue. Often when I sit'
there, I am reminded that
Wallace Bruce called De-
Funiak Springs "a dream-
ing place." I can only imag-
ine the dreams that became
realities in order to make
our town what it is today...
a Chautauqua town.
Since 1847, 'Chautauqua
has stood for life-long learn-
ing and for civil discourse.
The -Chautauqua Idea was :
born when a Methodist min-
ister, John Heyl Vincent,
saw the need for a retreat
where Sunday school teach-
ers could study during the
summer. A place was se-
lected on the north shore
of the Lake Chautauqua in
New York State. An idea
took root and has flour-
ished for 135 years for nine
weeks in the summer. The
first year the participants
pitched tents. The next year
they built platforms for the
tents and gradually small
houses began to appear. Af-
ter the Civil War, schools
were not available to all, so
the Chautauqua Movement
added music and the arts
to the Bible study. Orators
were brought in to discuss,
civilly, the affairs, of the day.
Chautauqua became known
as The People's University.
In 1884, officials of the
L&N Railroad were search-
ing for a place to build the

Open Pond... later to be
named DeFuniak Springs.
At the same time, a Dr. Gil-
lett was traveling around
Florida searching for a win-
ter home for the Chautauqua
Assembly. He was contacted
and the decision was made
to build the station and es-
tablish the Winter Assem-
bly. One of the railroad of-
ficials was Col. Fredrick De
Funiak. The town and the
lake were named for the col-
onel. The town of De Funiak
Springs grew and flourished,
and the Chautauqua Assem-
bly did the same until 1920.


While the Assembly was ac-
tive, the homes were build
around the lake, Palmer Col-
lege was established, hotels
were built to accommodate
the Chautauqua guests, and
Baldwin Avenue expanded.
In 1995, the Chautauqua
Movement was revived in
DeFuniak Springs and con-
tinues to grow.

Djuna Cheatham appeared
at that regular meeting to
request a clarification.
Then, on Nov. 20,
Cheatham was required to
appear before the board,
faced with charges of vio-
lating the previous order
by allegedly operating out-
side the previously existing
pit area. She admitted that
brush clearing had taken
place in another area but
said she did not consider
that to be excavation and
therefore not a violation
of the board directive. The
board members disagreed,
imposing the cease and de-
sist order and fines.
The lawsuit filed by D&H
Sand finds fault both with
the board's amendment to
the Aug. 14 final order and
its Nov. 20 decision and re-
sulting order.
"By ordering D&H to
cease and desist from min-
ing operations on the Prop-


erty and imposing fines at
D&H for failure to comply
with the Oct. 10 order, the
Board departed from the es-
sential requirements of the

well and storage. The cost
dropped $10,000 down to
*$165,000 for purchase of the
property.
Kim Kirby said, "We are
doing everything above-
board here at City Hall and
that's how we always do busi-
ness. We welcome any ques-
tions or phone calls on this
purchase or anything else
the city has in motion. The
public is always welcome to
come by City Hall and speak
with us or to peruse the city
of DeFuniak Springs' water
supply plan that outlines'
this purchase."
The water supply plan
outlines research and data
from staff and engineers
from Peters Municipal As-
sociates, Inc. (PMA) and
Kirby said, "It has been de-
termined that there is a cur-
rent deficiency in storage
and potential deficiency in
supply within the. next five',
years. It is the engineer's
recommendation that plan-
ning and construction of a
new 600 GPM well and 0.50
MG elevated tank should
commence immediately.
With the construction of the
proposed well and elevated
storage tank, line upgrades
and connections will help
meet existing and projected
system demands."
Holloway outlined the
current well and storage
situation for, the city, "We
now have five water wells
in .our system and two 0.50
MG storage tanks. Well No.
1 and No. 3 are located at
South 11th Street. Well No.
1 was installed in 1931. It
has an eight-inch casing
with a six-inch submergible
pump. The pump has been
downgraded from 420 gpm
to 320 gpm due to chronic
failures." Holloway said,
"There is questionable long-
term viability of this well."
The DeFuniak Springs
No.1 elevated storage tank
is located at this site. Well
No. 3 was installed in 1955.
The well is under repairs
now due to the age and
hours of operation.. After
inspection, the city cleaned
the casing and replaced
the pump and installed a
new and updated lubrica-
tion system. Holloway said,
"We have completed the re-
pairs of this well and will
be back online soon. Well
No. 2 is located on Baldwin
Avenue. It was installed in
1947. At this time, there are
no maintenance issues with
the well, a motor had been
replaced within the last
three years. It will also need
an updated lubrication sys-

tem installed in the future.
Well No. 5 is located on Amy
Lane, off of Walton Road.
The well was installed in
1996 at this time there are
no maintenance issues at
this well. Well No. 6-is lo-
cated on Sunrise Road. The
well was installed in 2005.
At this time there are no
maintenance issues at this
well. The DeFuniak Springs
No. 2 elevated storage tank
is located at this site."
Regarding questions
about the location for the
new well, Kirby responded,
"The site is an ideal loca-
tion. The elevations at this
site are good. for the con-
struction and operation of
the 0.50 'MG storage tank,
and the connections to ex-
isting water lines in this
area will not only help with
future growth, it will also
enhance our existing water
-distribittiori system on both
the north and south sides of
the interstate and will help
with availability of service
and increased water pres-
sures in new and in our ex-
isting system."
Kirby also noted that it
is a Florida Department of
Environmental Protection
requirement that there be a
200-foot diameter clear site
for the well-head protection
zone. The city does not own
a large area of this size that
would meet the require-
ments for the well-head pro-,
tection zone."
Kirby also discussed
questions about the proper-,
ty being located to the south'
of Interstate 10. "With the
construction of the well and
tank .on Sunrise Road on
the north side of the city in
2006, it has helped that area
with availability of service,
potential for future growth
and water pressures. The
city is trying to accompany
the same needs that are re-
quired now and will be in
the future on the south side
of the city.
"After talking with own-
ers and looking at several
locations on the south side
of Interstate 10, the city
staff and our engineers de-
termined that the piece of
property on Peck Cawthon
Road, with property size,
higher elevations, and con-
nectivity with existing lines
and construction of new
lines we would be able to
better serve our customers
and residents now and in
the future."
As far as the timing and
price for the land, Kirby said
the city has been keeping its
eyes open for land going on


the market for this project
for a little over two years
now, but have actively pur-
sued a land purchase only in
the last year.
Regarding the price,
Kirby said, "The city of De-
Funiak Springs had the
property appraised by a
state-certified general ap-
praiser. The city had offered
the appraised price for this
piece of property and was
accepted by the seller and
also with the final purchase
being upon clearance of ti-
fle, results of the survey and
results of preliminary core
boring. If everything falls
into place and the results
core boring show no issues,
we should be able to moved
forward with the purchase."
Kirby said the $165,000
land purchase price was in
addition to the estimated
at completion total price of
$3,831,423 for the 'project.
Some money needed to pay
for the project could come
from an estimated $1 mil-
lion in accumulated water
impact fees, which according
to Kirby, "The impact fees
may be applied to the cost
of constructing a new well,
tank, or acquisition of the
land. to construct these fa-
cilities."
As for how the rest of the,
project will be funded, Kirby
replied, "We are presently
preparing our application to
USDA/RD for a grant and/or
-loan to assist with the Phase
III Water System Improve-
ment. We plan to submit the
application by March 2009."
But why that much acre-
age as readers have ques-
tioned and what are the
possible uses of the excess
property?
Kirby said, "The owner
of the property' wanted to
retain the house and five
acres, of the 27 acres for
sale, and did not want to
separate the 22 remaining
acres. We had tried to nego-
tiate with the seller on just
purchasing five acres for the
well site but he did not want
to split the property," she
said. "This piece of property
is the ideal location for the
well and tank and will be the
most cost effective and the
efficient way of connecting
our existing system and be
able to expand for the future
growth of our water system.
The remaining acreage can
be declared surplus and sold
at a later date or can be used
for future projects."
The surplus land with
the new survey comes up to
14.78 acres after five is re-
moved for the well and stor-
age site.
When asked if there were
any family or business con-
nections between the De-
Funiak Springs City Council
members and the property
owners, Kirby replied, "Not
to my knowledge."
Kirby added, "It is the
desire of the city manager,
Council, and staff to be pro-
active in planning and pro-
viding for the city's present
and future needs, and to
make sound management
decisions necessary to meet
those needs."

legacy to leave for your
grandchildren," said Jim

Red Bay Grocery to feature new retail concept


Story and photos
By LEAH STRATMANN

Some 60 people assem-
bled last week at the Red
Bay Community Center
to hear a proposal by Des-
tin area restaurateur and
part time Red Bay resident
Charles Morgan lay out his
plans to revitalize a small
area grocery store, which
has been closed for several
months, into something al-
together new.
"I'm not really a sales-
man, but now I'm going to
try and sell you on some-
thing," Morgan began. He
went on to say there was a
great deal of history in this
area, but not many gather-
ing places for area residents.
"That store was important
to me. All over the south
there are little stores that
are shuttered."
Morgan then detailed a
plan f6r 49 area residents to
invest in the Red Bay Gro-
cery, a combination small
grocery and restaurant.
"I am not a real likely
businessman, but I am a
businessman. I've had part-


ners in almost everything
I've done and I'm looking
for 49 partners. When you
say that to an accountant
or lawyer, they just get nau-
seated," he joked, "but the
main point is to have people
invest who want to be inves-
tors. Businesses that do not
make money are not any fun
and I think we can make
money and have fun with
this." Morgan said each in-
vestor would own one share
and be given an opportuni-
ty to help in whatever way
possible, either by helping
hammer nails during the
renovation or working the
register? one day a week or
do nothing at all.
Although Morgan may
not think of himself as much
of a salesman, all 49 avail-
able shares were sold within
48 hours.
"Red Bay is not too far
from just being a blip on the
road and I want to change
that," Morgan said. "This
area is rich in history and
I want to capture some of
those old stories and histo-
ries on video, and get those
country recipes while I'm at


it. People will have an avail-
able cottage industry for
their extra tomatoes. Every-
one can take part and make
some money," he said.
"Right now SR-81 is just
a road where folks from
Atlanta speed to Seaside.
Maybe we can get some of
their, money along the way,
while creating some employ-
ment as well." Each investor
will receive a 10-percent dis-
count in the restaurant and
store, but not on the gaso-
line, which will be sold out-
side.
"By pulling together we
can create something differ-
ent. This is not some hippie
co-op; this venture is about
making money. I will be re-
sponsible for any additional
money needed and any in-
vestor can back out with
a full refund after a year.
We won't keep coming back
to you for more money," he
promised. Morgan said he
needed to retain control so
he wouldn't have to have a
full partner meeting to dis-
cuss the type of napkins to
use.
"We will serve a light

ing being renovated, often come over and kibbitz with other shareholders while the process

breakfast and a daily blue
plate special. The store and
restaurant will be clean,
open on time every day
except Thanksgiving and
Christmas, and we will stock
those essentials the com-
munity needs so they won't
have to drive a long distance
to get a roll of paper towels,"
he said.
"This concept has so many
levels it has created a new
interest in me. I've wanted
to do this for years. We can
make this a nicer place to
live. Travelers will sit in
the restaurant and think
this would be a nice place to
live after being surrounded
by nice authentic people.
Sometimes it takes an out-
sider to tell you what you've
got and I'm here to tell you
got something special here,"
Morgan emphasized.
Long time Red Bay resi-
dent Ouida Miller said, "It
doesn't seem like a com-
munity if you don't have a
store." Miller is looking for-
ward to having a place to go
for an afternoon cup of cof-
fee and a place to meet and
play cards.
"We don't want to be in
a real big hurry for this to
take off. We want people to
talk about it when they go
to the beauty parlor, church
and whatever they do in
life." The store will also
be capitalizing on the fast
growing "locovore" move-
ment in which people seek
to eat those goods grown
within short distances from
home. What is being touted
as the next frontier is actu-
ally a return to yesteryear.
February 1 is the target
date for the opening of Red
Bay Grocery. Morgan prom-
ised reasonable prices for
everything.
"We will have better food
up here than they get along
the coast, although there
will be nothing hokey about
it. This won't be a Cracker
Barrel with misspelled
signs and a lot of junk, just




NaylorRealt


good food at reasonable pric-
es and when someone asks


'who owns this,' everyone in
there can say 'we do."'


CHARLES MORGAN answers questions from Red Bay
residents concerning the Red Bay Grocery, due to open in
early February.

By JEFFREY
POWELL
Were he alive to-
day, Elvis Aaron Pres-
ley would be 74 years
old. In fact, he would
have just celebrated
his birthday on Jan.
8. And while most of
modern America is
familiar with the life
and times of one of
the most recognizable
names in entertain-
ment history, far few-
er of the general popu-
lation know were his
journey began.
By all accounts, East
Tupelo, MS. in, 1934
was where the poorest
of the poor resided. It
was in this neighbor-
hood that Vernon and
Gladys Presley decid-
ed to build a home and
start a family. Within
a year of the home's
construction Gladys
gave birth to twins.
Unfortunately, one of
the boys was stillborn,
leaving only Elvis sur-
viving. Gladys told her
living son many times
that when one twin
dies the surviving one
receives all the other's
potential.
The home that Elvis'
father, grandfather
and uncle built was a
simple 450-square foot
two-room house with
no running water and
only two light bulbs
for light. Today, that
home has been pains-
takingly preserved
and is part of the El-.
vis Presley birthplace
complex.
As a young boy, El-
vis and his family at-
tended an Assembly
of God church located
about a block from


home. It was in this
church that Elvis first
heard-the great South-
ern spirituals that
would mean so much
to him personally and
professionally. That
same church has been
moved to the birth-
place site and can be
toured by the public.
The Presley family
was forced to move out
of their home when El-
vis was 2 1/2 years old,
due to financial dif-
ficulties and an argu-
ment concerning a $4
bad check. The family
continued to live in a
variety of places in
Tupelo until moving to
Memphis in 1948.
In 1957, the city
of Tupelo bought the
home and surrounding
property in an effort to
preserve the legacy of
the birthplace. Also in
1957, Elvis donated
the proceeds of a con-
cert held at.the Tupelo
Fairgrounds to build a
park for the neighbor-
hood children to play
on which is located
adjacent to the birth-
place.
Today, 50,000 visi-
tors from around the
world visit the birth-
place annually. The
visitors are able to
tour the birthplace
house, the Assembly of
God church, a modern
chapel and a museum
dedicated to Elvis' life
and the collection of
family friend Janelle
McComb, among other
tributes.
For more informa-
tion concerning the
birthplace see www.el-

Oscar -arrison celebrates looth


SCAR HARRIUON,
100 years young on Jan. 25,
2009.
By DON HARRISON

One hundred years ago,
on January 25, 1909, Hen-
ry Oscar Harrison entered
the world in the Flat Creek
community near Kinston,
Alabama, the sixth child of
Samuel Tennessee Harrison
and Leona Henrietta An-
derson Harrison. The family
would eventually consist of
13 children, 11 boys and two
girls. Oscar's father was a
cattleman and farmer, occa-
sionally serving as the com-
munity brick mason. His
mother was a homemaker,
taking care of the large
family, tending the garden,
canning and preserving
food, and making quilts and
clothes for all the children.
Harrison spent his early
childhood with his family at
three or four different hous-
es in the Kinston area. He
started school in this com-
munity. In January of 1917,
Oscar and his family, which
at this time consisted of his
parents and nine children,
moved on several wagons to
the Oak Grove community
in the extreme northeast
corner of Walton County.
Harrison grew up as a
young boy working on the
family farm plowing, milk-
ing cows, picking cotton,
pulling fodder,. and other
farm and household chores.
Oscar started school in Oak
Grove that next fall in a
new school that Oscar's dad
and other community lead-
ers had started at Conners.
He eventually attended the
Burgess School and then
Darlington, but Darlington
School only went through
10th grade.
As Harrison grew up, he
continued to work on the
farm, but also rented him-
self out as a plowhand to
other, local farmers, usually
earning one dollar a day.
Sometimes he would board
with the farmer he was
working for up to a month at
a time. He was recognized
as an excellent plowhand in
the community and was in


demand by local farmers.
As he got older, he saved
the money he earned plow-
ing to attend the Nor-
mal School in DeFuniak
Springs. In 1928 and 1929,
Harrison completed two
four-month summer terms
at the school and earned
a teaching certificate. He
then began teaching at sev-
eral one-teacher schools, the
first being Broward School
near Sweet Gum Head in
1930, and then at Williams
School near Lakewood in
1931-1932.
In 1932, Oscar purchased
his first automobile, a Black
1928 Model A, for $250. He
moved to Arcadia School,
just south of Argyle in 1932
and then back to Clear
Springs for the 1932 term.
Clear Springs then had three
teachers and Harrison was
the principal. While teach-
ing at the Arcadia School,
he met a black-haired young
lady, Minnie Ann Laird,
during some church func-
tions at Euchee Valley Pres-
byterian Church. She would
eventually become a signifi-
cant part of his life.
At this point, Harrison
had more education in mind.
At the urging of several men
that knew him well, in the
summer of 1933, Harrisdn
traveled to Gainesville, Flor-
ida, with two other young
men in his Model A. His
arrival at the University of
Florida was completely un-
announced and he informed
them that he was there to
enroll in the freshman class.
At that time, the enrollment
at the college was 1,200. He
was accepted and received
several work scholarships
that had been started by
Franklin D. Roosevelt as
a part of programs to help
people during The Great
Depression. Harrison said
the help he received enabled
him to pull himself up and
get an education probably
influenced his educational
and political.views for the
rest of his life. He worked
as a student assistant to the
University of Florida .foot-
ball coach, in the cafeteria,
and other jobs to earn his
way through the Universi-
ty.
In 1937, he was awarded
a bachelor's degree in Eng-
lish, the first person in the
north end of Walton County
to earn a college degree. He
graduated in a suit loaned to
him by a family in Gaines-
ville. Harrison returned to
Walton County after re-
ceiving his degree and be-
came assistant principal at
Gaskin School.
He eventually returned,


to the Argyle community
to resume his relationship
with Minnie Laird and they
eventually were married on
Christmas Day, December
25, 1938, at her family's
house in Euchee Valley.
After their marriage,
they moved to Liberty High
School where Harrison was
assistant principal, and
then to Paxton High School
where he was assistant prin-
cipal from 1939-1940. While
he was at Paxton, their first
child, Cordell, was born.
They then moved "to De-
Funiak Springs where Har-
rison became principal of
Walton Junior High School
and then back to Liberty to
serve as assistant princi-
pal of Liberty Junior High
School.
Around 1942, Harrison
decided that his teaching
career should come to an
end and he was hired as an
assistant county agent for
Walton County. His back-
ground in agriculture and
farming and his college de-
gree were finally coming to-
gether. He served in this ca-
pacity until May 1944 when
their second son, Don, was
born.
Just a month or two later,
Harrison received an offer to
become county agricultural
extension agent in Washing-
ton County, so they moved to
Chipley, Florida. Harrison
immediately became active
in the local Kiwanis Club,
serving as its president in
1945. He also started what
became a 59-year perfect at-
tendance record in Kiwanis.
While living in Chipley, Os-
car and Minnie's third son,
Phil, was born, but since
Chipley didn't have a hos-
pital that delivered babies,
Phil was born in DeFuniak
Springs and Harrison con-
tinued to work in Chipley
until 1952.
In January 1952, Har-
rison was offered the job of
county agricultural agent
in Dixie County, so he and
the family moved to Cross
City, Florida. Since '-there
was not much farming in
Dixie County, the biggest
part of his job was working
with local farmers vacci-
nating cattle and wild hogs
that they had caught. Since
there was an inspection sta-
tion there, he also inspected
transient cattle, horses, and
hogs passing through on the
highway.
The family had pet dogs,
pet goats, and even a wild-
cat named "Dixie Dan."
* The wildcat eventually was
given to the Florida Boy's
Ranch zoo. While in Dixie
County, Harrison worked

on his master's degree at
University of Florida during
summer terms, eventually
earning his degree in agri-
culture in 1955.
The job in Dixie County
didn't last long. Harrison
was given an opportunity to
return and in 1953 they re-
turned to DeFuniak Springs
where he became Walton
County's agricultural ex-
tension agent. During the
next several years, he was
very active in sponsoring
the 4-H Club, taking many
youngsters to 4-H Camp at
Camp Timpoochee, and to
4-H short courses at Uni-
versity of Florida. He was in
charge of the Walton County
Fair and worked for several
years in getting grants and
funding for a new Walton
County Fair Building on
S.R. 83 North. The building
was eventually named the
Oscar Harrison Fair Build-
ing.. In 1962, Harrison re-
ceived the Dow Study Tour
Award, which allowed him
to travel to several places in
the nation surveying agri-
business 'properties. Many
county agents from through-
out the country became close
friends of his as a result of
this tour.
In 1965, Oscar retired
from his extension work, but
immediately went to work
for Vitro Corporation at Eg-
lin Air Force Base as a biolo-
gist in the Chemical and Bi-
ological Warfare Program.
He worked in a laboratory
and on a test range assess-
ing the effectiveness of Air
Force weapons. After five
years, the program ended.
In 1972, Harrison was hired
by the city of DeFuniak
Springs as an administrator
for the Housing and Urban
Development Program. He
spent the next three years
helping low-income families
get new houses under a fed-
eral government program.
He also worked as a grants
administrator for DeFuniak
Springs for a short time in
1976. During this time, he
was elected to be a district
lieutenant governor in Ki-
wanis.
Harrison became a mem-
ber of the Masonic Lodge
in Chipley, serving as sec-
retary of the lodge for 22
years in Chipley, Cross City,
and DeFuniak Springs. He
has always been an active
member of a Baptist church
wherever he lived, serving
in many capacities, includ-
ing Sunday School teacher,
deacon, pastor search com-
mittee, brotherhood, and
many other jobs.
Harrison was an integral
part of Florida Farm Bu-

Auntie Em


Dear Readers, Auntie Em always likes to hear from you
and she received a response to last week's column. We are
reprinting the question and our reader's response. En-
joy!

Dear Auntie Em,

I don't quite know how to go about this, so maybe you
'can help. I live in a more affluent neighborhood. We don't
have a homeowners association, but most people seem to
keep their yards very tidy. I guess my issue is more a
pet peeve than anything, but my neighbors still have up
their Christmas decorations and it really bugs me. They
have all types of yard decorations and lights strung up
and I just feel like the holiday is over. Take them down
already, ya know. Is there any good way to deal with it?
Thanks.

Scroogie McScrooge from south Walton.

Dear Auntie Em,

Please print this letter in response to the person in
the affluent south Walton neighborhood who was up-
set about her neighbor's Christmas lights and decora-
tions still being up. I am often shocked at the number
of people who complain about Christmas decor that is
left up past January 1. The reason that this is done is
that the 12 Days of Christmas Begin on Christmas Eve
and continue until January 6.
This is known by Christians as the season of epiphany.
It is the time when the wisemen traveled to see the birth
of Jesus Christ. In many homes, small gifts are left for
children under the Christmas tree on January 6 and it
is considered wrong to take down your decorations prior
to this date. Perhaps the letter-writer should be more
concerned about the true meaning of Christmas and less
concerned about the appearance of her "affluent" neigh-
borhood.

THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, JANUARY 15,2009

Movie Review


Veiled Threats:


By BRUCE COLLIER
Gary Winick's "Bride
Wars" seems to have had
more airtime for its
trailers than any other
movie of the pre- and post-
holiday season. If you have
seen the extended trailer,
you have seen pretty much
all of the laugh-out-loud
parts. Not to worry,
though. What remains is
still pretty funny, and
neatly sentimental in that
chick-flick way that -you
either like or can't stand.

"Bride Wars" is the tale
of two lifelong friends, Liv
(Kate Hudson) and Emma
(Anne Hathaway), with a
mutual pact to have June
weddings at New York's
posh Plaza Hotel. When
their proposals come, they
sign with Marion St.
Claire (Candice Bergen),
the city's ace wedding
planner. A clerical error
finds them both booked at
the Plaza on the same day,
the only available date in


June. Neither will budge.
And there. we have our
movie.
If you find weddings -
specifically overplanned,
upscale American
weddings inherently
funny, and if the television
show "Bridezilla" moved
you to appalled laughter,
"Bride Wars" will give you
an amusing 90 minutes. If
I hadn't spent part of last
year participating in my
own Wedding, I might not
have been as entertained.
It starts with St. Claire.
Lecturing both ladies on
the profound importance of
their weddings, she
solemnly intones, "You
have been dead up to' this
day." Hers is the voice of
every hustling jewelry
sales clerk, gown huckster,
and wedding profiteer that
ever tormented a
vulnerable bride-to-be
with an impossible dream
of perfection.
The ladies fall into the
trap. Both initiate a


"Bride Wars


swiftly-escalating arms
race of pre-wedding
sabotage. Liv struggles
with a weight problem, so
Emma covertly sends her a
succession of fattening
treats, triggering a five-
pound gain. When Liv's
Vera Wang gown won't
fasten, her fiance suggests
she have it altered. "You
don't alter Vera! You alter
yourself to fit Vera!" barks
Liv. Emma is tricked into
a hideous "blood orange"
spray tan. Liv's blond hair
is accidently rendered
Gwen Stefani blue. Things
get uglier, quicker. Liv's
and Emma's fiances and
friends begin to fear for
their mental health. Their
jobs suffer. The ladies'
friendship is on the line.
Neither gives in, yet
both get a place at the
Plaza which I thought
was the problem to begin
with, but what do I know?
After a little Feydeau-style
farce and some physical
comedy (an obligatory


gown and veil-pulling
smackdown in the aisle),
all is resolved, thanks to
some sage advice from
friends and the older
generation.
Hudson and Hathaway
look like they just stepped
off the cover of whatever
bride magazine you can
name. Both have that bony
elegance that is the
current yardstick of
Hollywood glamour.
Thankfully, both are also
accomplished comic
actresses, the kind that
can be all self-possessed
grace one minute, then
collapse in a screaming
meltdown the next.
Bergen's St. Claire is the
picture of acid-tongued
WASP eccentricity. The
supporting cast is a mix of
good-looking TV and movie
faces, and the New York
locations are fun to watch.
"Bride Wars" isn't must-
see cinema, but it is a
pleasant, sweet-and-sour
treat for the new year.

Jesus Christ the light of the world


By: DR. ROBERT M. JAYE


It was the Feast of Tab-
ernacles when Jesus uttered
the following words: "I am
the Light of the world: he
that followeth Me shall not
walk in darkness, but shall
have the light of life." It is
probable that the priests
were lighting the two great
candelabra which commem-
orated the fire cloud which
lead the Israelites in the
years of wandering in the
desert.
The wilderness desert
was a vast waste for Israel
in those by-gone days. They
depended on the cloud to
show the way until their
night of rest. To linger was
to be lost in the waste land
until death overcame them.
Only when the cloud stayed
in one place was there man-
na and water and Divine
protection.


There are resting times
in our lives. God graciously
arranges pastures and qui-
et waters, and makes us to
lie down. His voice sounds
amid the turmoil of our ex-
istence, and bids us come
aside a while and rest. Of-
ten we fret against enforced
rest, we persist in hurrying
to and fro, and give way to
bitter whining. When you
do not know what to do, stop
until some indication from
the Lord points your path.
There are times for ac-
tion. We shall have keen-
ness of hearing when we
have accustomed ourselves
to listening to the Lord's call
from the Bible, and go His
way. The peace and useful-
ness of our earthly life will
be led by Jesus Christ for all
the demands of our pilgrim
condition. The light of the


Lord Christ will lead us and
will proceed, showing us our
special task and meeting our
needs. In Isaiah 42:16, the
prophet of old said, "I will
make darkness light before
them, and crooked things
straight..." May it be so with
us. Amen.

Allen .

Wizards win 69-61

Walton boys split
district games
12B


~'


South Walton girls outlast Pensacola Catholic 58-56


By PATRICK CASEY
Nine different players
scored for the South Walton
Seahawks as they held on
for a 58-56 victory over Pen-
sacola Catholic on Friday
night.

Sam Snider scored 12
points while Aracely Gar-
cia added 11 to help South
Walton built a 15-9 lead af-
ter one quarter and never
trailed in the game.
South Walton stretched
the lead to 30-21 at half-
time as Catholic's M.C. Bell
got into foul trouble early
and spent half of the game
watching on the bench. With
Bell absent from the line-
uip, Jasmine Ferguson took
over, scoring 14 points over
the final three quarters to
keep the Crusaders within


reach. Catholic cut the lead
to 41-35 after three quarters
of play as they took advan-
tage of eight turnovers in
the third quarter to mount
a rally.
The Crusaders three-
point shooting warmed up
in the final eight minutes as
the visiting team got within
a single point in the final
three minutes of the game,
only to see South Walton
match the Crusaders run
with solid free throw shoot-
ing to hold the lead. The Se-
ahawks canned 7-of-10 free
throws during the fourth
quarter as they hit 21-of-33
on the night.
Kendall Moore missed a
pair of free throws with 15
seconds left, but Pensacola
Catholic was unable to get
off a good shot in an attempt


to tie the game as the Sea-
hawk defense did not allow
a player to get open for an
easy basket. The Crusad-
ers last second attempt
was short as the Seahawks
earned their 13th win of the
season.
Game Notes: South Wal-
ton Head Coach Kevin Craig
is in his fifth season with a
record of 79-48 at the school.
South Walton defeated Pan-
ama City Arnold in a Satur-
day afternoon game 57-23.
The game with the Marlins
had been moved from De-
cember 17 originally. The
Seahawks are 14-4 on the
year and 2-1 in district play.
The key game for the Sea-
hawks is on Thursday, Jan-
uary 15, when South Wal-
ton travels to Walton for the


Casey At The Plate


second meeting of the year
between the two teams. A
Walton win wraps up the
top seed for Walton, while a


South Walton victory keeps
the Seahawks and Pensa-
cola Catholic in the running
for the top seed. South Wal-


ton has lost seven straight
games to Walton, including
a 40-27 defeat on December
12.


PDL girls defeat Jay 48-37


By PATRICK CASEY
The Ponce de Leon Lady
Pirates got 20 points from
senior Gypsy Griffin as they
pulled away from the Jay
Royals in the final quarter
of play to take a 48-37 Dis-
trict 1, Class 2A victory on
Thursday night.

The Pirates, who are
without Hillary Harper and
Jaycee Mayo until at least
February, used a 15-4 run
in the fourth quarter to im-
prove to 5-0 in district play.
PDL (14-3) held a 23-19
lead at the half as the Pi-
rates rebounded very well
against the Royals for most
of the game. Jasmine Flock


and Sha-Lea Yates. added
eight points apiece and Cal-
lie Godwin made all four of
her free throws as the Pi-
rates did just enough to earn
a season sweep over Jay.
The Royals got 16 points
from Joy Gandy, and 11
points from Tessa Hendricks
as the two worked the in-
terior for several baskets
close to the goal. The Royals
were unable to muster much
shooting from the perimeter
and they did not make a
three-point shot during the
entire contest.
Ponce de Leon forced 20
turnovers while commit-
ting only 12 of their own as
their defense made it tough


for the Royals to find many
easy baskets.

Game Notes: Tim Alford
is in his 14th season as head
coach of the girls with a re-
cord of 277-112. In nine of
his 14 seasons, Tim Alford
has led the Pirates to 20 or
more wins. The Pirates are
tough to beat in PDL, they
are 61-9 at home the last 5+
years. PDL hit 9-of-13 free
throws against the Royals.
PDL opened 2009 with a 45-
29 win over Poplar Springs.
A tough road awaits the
banged-up Pirates over the
next week as they have
games at Cottondale and
Walton coming up.


By PATRICK CASEY
If you are going to read
only one item in the Sports
section, make it this! Time
to get a few things off my
mind and into the audience's
!onscience.

College .Football Ok,
here is my take on college
football. It is the best sport
during the regular season
'vith the worst ending. Flor-
ida, Utah,. USC and Texas
are the four best teams in
ihe country, but we will
siever know which one is re-
4Hlly the best. Doesn't 'this
1ug you? Alleged national
championships in Division
I football are mythical. How
4an you have more than one
team crowned a champion?
That has happened in the
past, and makes a sham of
ijhe sport in January. Give
4ie a playoff like college
basketball! Please! Oh, and
stop going to bowl games, all
qf you fans out there. You
4re just paying for this sys-
tem to continue. Stop going
to meaningless games and
they will change the sys-
tem.
Ponce de Leon girls bas-
ketball How this team is
14-3 is beyond me? I knew
Tim Alford was an out-
standing coach, but he re-
lly should don a cape and
Iop-hat and hold a magic
- and on the sidelines. Hil-
lary Harper is out with a-
.roken leg and Jaycee Mayo
is coming off surgery, yet
this team keeps winning. I
do worry about the Pirates
in February as district tour-
iament play begins, but
they just keep winning the
dad-gum things.
Walton's boys over South
Walton The Walton boys'
55-51 defeat of South Wal-
ton was the 13th straight
in the series history by the
Braves. Walton is not shoot-
ing the ball well right now,
but South Walton handed
them 30+ turnovers, so
Christmas kept giving to the
Braves. Issac Jackson is an
athlete, folks. If you haven't
seen him play, you need to,
he took over the third quar-


ter against South Walton.
And don't forget about Paul
McClure, the outstanding
golfer can shoot the rock
too!
High School Soccer -
Someone needs to slap
somebody at the FHSAA for
having soccer season run
from November until Feb-
ruary. The weather is often
awful, decreasing most any
chance of drawing a crowd
for the sport. Games are of-
ten rescheduled making it
nearly impossible to know
when a team is really play-
ing. Shouldn't this sport run
from March through May,
or is it just me? ..

NFL playoffs The NFL
is the best professional
sports league, bar none. The
competition is outstanding,
there is a salary cap so the'
Yankees can't buy all the
players (as in baseball) and
you can be awful one year
and in the playoffs the next
(ask Atlanta and Miami).
Yes, we have Detroit, who
went winless this season,
but next year they might
win what was a pretty bad
NFC North Division this
year. Enjoy the playoffs, you
know, something college
football doesn't have!
Officiating Is it always
bad at the high school level?
, Actually, no, that isn't true.
It just isn't real consistent.
Basketball is by far the worst
sport to officiate because it
is so subjective. How about
we set an easy one in high
school basketball. If you
touch' a member of the op-
posing team, it is a fouL Of
course, if we do it that way,
the bench will decide every
game ever played, assuming
some teams have enough
players to have a bench.
High school basketball -
Teams in the Area 5 are hav-
ing a decent year, though we
will see how that works out
when district tournaments
start in February. There are
.a lot of very mediocre girls
basketball teams around.
Laurel Hill, Vernon, Liberty
County, Northview, Holmes
County and I could go on


- have little chance of win-
ning even 10 games this
year. Where did all the girls
basketball talent go? Good
question, if you know, e-
mail me.
Statistics So what I am
doing when you don't see me
at your game? The answer,
partly, is statistics. I grade-
the film of all three of our
county's football teams to do
their stats in the fall, and
compile the basketball stats
for Paxton, PDL, Walton,
South Walton and Freeport
(that's 10 teams) to give us a
comparison of local players.
There are also sports photos
for the Herald and coverage
of some soccer and wrestling
events whenever possible.
Baseball's coming and that
means visiting area schools
getting ready. I also spend
some morning hours going
* through the Herald's vast
archives compiling sports
history for the county. That
is where a lot of the "Did
You Know?" sports facts
originate. Wheeee!
South Walton at Walton
girls on Thursday If there
is one game to come see this.
week, this is it. The Lady
Braves can wrap up their
first regular season title
this decade. All that really
means is that they get to be
the top seed when the dis-
trict tournament starts in
early February. They will
still have to win two games
to win the district champi-
onship during the tourna-
ment. Walton does host the
district tourney this sea-
son, so being the top seed
wouldn't hurt their chances
of grabbing the title and
some home playoff games.
South Walton is primed to
knock them off. They have
lost seven straight in the se-
ries and have to be getting
tired of hearing that. Their
win over Pensacola Catholic
gives them a chance to grab
the top seed with a win at
Walton and in Pensacola on

WHS links students and faculty with CRE approach


What better way to pro-
mote collaboration than to
talk about something two
people have in common?
This was the fundamental
objective guiding the Wal-
ton High School Reading
Leadership Team's deci-
sion to initiate the Common
Reading Experience project.
The Common Reading
Experience, CRE, is an ap-
proach based on the book
club format where everyone
is reading and discussing the
same novel. During the first
two weeks in December, stu-
dents and faculty at Walton
High School participated in
the school's first Common
Reading Experience.


Each day first block
teachers read aloud desig-
nated pages from the novel
"Big Fish" by Daniel Wal-
lace. Since the CRE uses
the informal book' club for-
mat, students and faculty
shared conversations while
thinking -critically about
topics and issues related to
the novel.
"Big Fish". is a fiction nov-
el about a young man who
sets out to discover who his
larger-than-life father actu-
ally is. William, the young
hero, recreates his father's
life for the reader in a series
of myths and legends in-
spired by the few facts that
he knows.

Walton boys split district games


By PATRICK CASEY
The Walton Braves had
a strong second half for the
second time this season
against the South Walton
Seahawks as the Braves
held off South Walton 55-
51 in a District 1, Class 3A
match-up last week.
Walton's third quarter
was the difference as the
Braves went on a 16-4 run
after intermission to take a
40-28 lead that they would
eventually turn into a 55-51
victory on the road.
The game was tied at 24-
24 at halftime as both teams
struggled to get the offense
going. South Walton was
coming off a two week layoff
while Walton continues to
struggle with their shooting
as the Braves have not shot
the ball well since mid-De-
cember. Paul McClure kept
Walton going on offense in
the first half as he scored
eight points while South
Walton's Jake Wright put
up seven 'points in the first
sixteen minutes of play to
keep the game close.
Walton took advantage


of South Walton's ball-han-
dling miscues, to the tune of
35+ turnovers in the game,
as Issac Jackson scored eight
of his 11 points in the final
half of play by constantly
harassing the guards for
South Walton while tallying
multiple steals to help Wal-
ton build a 12-point lead.
Cool free-throw shoot-
ing allowed the Seahawks
to make a run in the fourth
quarter as Walton hit only
11-of-26 foul shots on the
night. The Seahawks put up
23 points in the final quar-
ter, but fell too far behind to
be able to pull off the rally.
James Towery led Wal-
ton with 13 points while
McClure and Jackson added
11 points apiece. South Wal-
ton got 14 points from Jake
Wright, but had no other
player in double figures as
the turnovers stole scor-
ing opportunities from the
squad.
Walton fell to Pensacola
Catholic to take their first
district loss of the season
62-57 on Friday night. The
Crusaders used a 26-16 run


in the second 'quarter to
drop Walton to 3-1 in the
district.
Paul McClure led the
Braves with 18 points while
James Towery added 14.
7.= ---, = -= -


The Crusaders got 16
points from Tony Weathers
to improve to 9-6 on the year
and 4-0 in the district.
Game Notes: Walton is


13-0 against South Walton
in the short series between
the two schools. If South
Walton is to beat the Braves
this season it will have to be
in the district tournament


in Northview in February.
Walton will host Pensacola
Catholic on Friday, January
30, with the top seed for the
district tourney likely on the
line.


WALTON'S JOHN TOWERY scored 13 points to help
Walton sweep the regular season series against South Wal-
ton with a 55-51 road victory.

Commission rumors


By LEAH STRATMANN
A comment by planning
commission chairman Tom
Terrell at last week's evalu-
ation and appraisal report
(EAR) workshop regard-
ing fellow commissioner
Tom Patton being asked to
step down from his seat,
prompted the Herald to con-
tact Cecilia Jones, recently
elected to her first term on


New pier

opened

on Lake

Powell
The South Walton County
Tourist Development Coun-
cil (TDC) officially opened
the Lake Powell neighbor-
hood fishing pier with a
ribbon- cutting ceremony
in conjunction with Walton
County Board of County
Commissioners Scott Bran-
nori's office. Located on
Lake Shore Drive off Orange
Street at the east end of the
beaches of south Walton, the
pier creates public access
to the lake for recreational
activities including fishing,
picnicking and sightseeing.
"This area is poised for
tremendous growth," said
Sonny Mares, executive di-
rector of the TDC. "We are
delighted that the TDC was
able to find the resources to
build a new pier to serve vis-
itors and residents alike."
Mares went on to say the
feedback the TDC has re-
ceived from the neighbors
has been very positive and
they are pleased with the de-
sign and construction of the
new pier. The pier was com-
pleted just prior to Christ-
mas and the volume of trash
that has been collected daily
indicates the community is


the Board of County Com-
missioners (BCC).
Commissioner Jones said
emphatically, "I am not do-
ing anything with the plan-
ning commission appoint-
ment at this time and if I
do make a change, it will
be after the completion of
the EAR process. Right now
I am just looking at all the
committee appointments
and weighing options. I


asked Ken Little, Citizen
Services director, to send
a letter to each appointee
thanking them for their ser-
vice and telling them that I
would be reviewing board
and committee assignments
under my purview. I also let
everyone know I would be
sitting down with them in-
dividually and sharing my
vision. I have not met with
Tom Patton." she said.


"Sometimes a commis-
sioner wants to bring on
their own person, but I have
not made a final decision.
When I discussed this with
Pat (Blackshear, director of
the planning department) I
mentioned I might make a
change. It is not that any-
body is not doing a good job.
People get a little informa-
tion and then they assume
wrongly that it is done. I


would not do anything in the
middle of a process such as
the EAR, but I will be mak-
ing a final decision when the
process is over. It is not any-
thing out of the ordinary.
"I am not in a big hurry
to replace anyone. I have a
lot of common sense and I
would never do anything
that might hurt the commit-
tee," she concluded.

Scott Brannon's office, and Sonny Mares and Dave Sell of the TDC to cut the ribbon and officially open the new Lake Powelt

After budgeting for capital

Planning Commission approves



first projects of the new year


By LEAH STRATMANN
A large crowd assembled
last week at the regular
meeting of the Walton Coun-
ty Planning Commission,
most there because of the
first item on the agenda. The
legislative item concerned
adopting the county land
development code (LDC) to
adopt the Blue Mountain
Beachfront (BMB-1) Neigh-
borhood Plan as an overlay
district. However, internal
administrative problems
plaguing the planning de-
partment resulted in plan-
ning department objections
to the project reaching the
principals only a few hours
before the meeting.
Rodney Dorand, reg-
istered agent for BMB-1


said, "Several things have
come to our attention. We
followed procedure for the
organization of our group
and followed the county's
timetable for adoption and
presentation. We have re-
ceived no guidance from the
planning department staff
since November, although
this afternoon I did receive
an e-mail. The objections
raised by the planning staff
are numerous, vague, and
non-specific. I want specific
objections raised. There has
not been enough time for
our group or our attorneys
to review this. I would like
to have those specifics with-
in five working days. We
cannot present a plan on 2
1/2 hours notice. The issue


should be delayed until Feb.
12."
Planning department
spokesman Mac Carpenter
confirmed that although,
the group had received the
e-mail only that afternoon,
the department had been
working on it since April
2008. "We met numerous
times. We asked them to
withhold their ballots until
plans were reviewed, but
they sent them anyway," he
said.
Dorand said, "The plan-
ning department staff was
aware of the mailing date
for two weeks before I
mailed them. The request
came after they were al-
ready mailed. If this is not
enough time for legal review


and to get into compliance
with staffs complaints, I ask
this commission to not hear
from any other Blue Moun-
tain Beach planners. There
is a second group working
on another plan. We do not
want it on the agenda until
this plan is heard," he said.
Commissioner Tom Pat-
ton then made a motion for
the staff to make their ob-
jections clear in the timeta-
ble requested and postpone
all public comment until
the February meeting. The
motion was seconded and
passed by all.
The commission made
quick work of the three
quasi-judicial items on the
agenda granting approval to
the Glendale Presbyterian


Church to relocate an ex-
isting church building and
built a 15,200 square foot
new building on 28 acres
of land. The site is at the
northwest corner of the in-
tersection of CR-1084 and
SR-83 North.
Approval was also grant-
ed to Alys Beach to increase
the number of residential
units by 300 and the amount
of retail space by 10,000
square feet on 158.49 acres
one mile west of the eastern
intersection of U.S. 98 and
CR-30A.
The final item approved
item drew some questions
and a bit of public commen-
tary. Connelly & Wicker,

SHOOTING THE BREEZE


It is weeks overdue, but I
would like to publicly thank
the state of Illinois for tak-
ing over the onus as the
most ridiculed state in the
Union. Here in sunshine
land, we may have trouble
figuring out how to punch
the ballot, take weeks and
weeks to recount those bal-
lots, misguidedly elect to
office the wholly laughable
and incompetent Katherine
Harris, but by God, we take
our money honestly via
lobbyists. ,
Our governors may not be
great statesmen, but none
are serving time. In Illinois,
three of the last four gover-
nors have been indicted and
as we speak, one of them is
in the gray bar hotel, follow-
ing in the prison trail blazed
by former Illinois Congress-
man Dan Rostenkowski.
Rod Blagojevich just
looks like a thug. There is
great arrogance in his man-
ner, but Democrats from
Chicago have no trouble get-
ting elected, what with the
dead being able to vote and
all. My favorite part of this
whole saga so far was the
talking heads on the news


with Leah Stratmann

reading the federal wiretap
transcripts. Every other
word was "bleep or bleep-
ing" and, duh, I just can't
imagine what word old Rod
might have been using. NA-
SCAR fans use less profan-
ity.
Clearly the governor does
not .subscribe to "Word of
the Day" coming into .his
e-mail as I do. If he did, he
might have been using sen-
tences such as "I do not have
to itemize seriatim (in a se-
ries) the, benefits of selling
a seat in the U.S. Senate."
Likewise it is clear Rod has
no intention to absquatulate
(leave or flee in a hurry) the
office of governor. Clearly
he believes the governor's
office is a Golconda (source
of great wealth) rather than
public service.
From the cheap seats
where most of us sit, the
salaries of so-called public
servants are pretty darn
good and the benefits can't
be beat. It is therefore hard
to stomach these guys (and
it is always men) who want
to supplement that income
through chicanery or the
very rich who do not eschew,


the salaries in the first place.
Do John McCain, John Ker-
ry, Ted Kennedy. Hillary
Clinton and a host of others
need those salaries? I don't
begrudge them the medi-
cal benefits, but they could
handily serve for a dollar a
year, so let's not call them
public servants any more.
We are the servants and
the majority of us manage
to live honestly on whatever
we earn.
There will be a lot of new
faces in the U.S. Senate, but
the one who promises to be
a combination of great intel-
ligence and great fun is Al
Franken. Love him or hate
him, he is one smart guy, a
serious student of politics,.
and a very successful author
and entertainer who has had
but one wife and raised chil-
dren who both do real public
service in New York City.
In my naivete, I'd like to
believe that most who seek
public office are honest,
but it is getting harder and
harder to hold onto such a
lofty notion. On the state
level, we have the likes of'
Ray Sansom, double-dip-
ping in grand fashion. To

his credit, he did step down
from the one job, but would
he have done it had his
ethics not been called into
question in the Legislature?
I suspect not. It's hard to
walk away from $130,000
a year for a position that is
mostly a figurehead. I think
the entire. college system
here needs to be reviewed.
In what other universe can
a guy like Northwest Flori-
da State College President
James Richburg retire, then
be rehired and collect both
a very generous salary and
full retirement? The stench
is overwhelming and the
proof of Sansom's make-
work position is the fact it is
unlikely the position will be
filled by someone else.
Get the boots, it's getting
deep in here.


EAR workshop continues



land use discussions


By LEAH STRATMANN'

Planning commissioner
Tom Terrell opened the eval-
uation and appraisal (EAR)
workshop last week with the
news that the session would
be complicated due to the
death in the family of Lois
LeSeur, a member ,of the'
planning department who
headed up the future'land'
use element of the EAR.
'. "The -draft before you'
went out only two datys
ago and I have said before
we don't want to ruha-this
out. The public did not :see
the document available to-
day and those thai were e-
mailed only went out two.
days ago. I think we need to
hear any comments and do
what we can do, but I ask
if you have lengthy issues
to make an appointment
with planning director Pat
Blackshear and try and iron
them out," Terrell said. "IT
don't think it would be fair
to push through this at this
point. We have had numer-
ous meetings, but there
shouldn't be a whole lot of
items still in question," Ter-
rell said opening the floor
for public discussion.
"One of-the first things I
want to say is that the docu-
ment is now easier to read,
but it is about time we got


the glossary. I don't care if
it is not finished; we need
to review what you have to
date. The glossary will help
me to eliminate or illumi-
nate some of my questions,"
said David Kramer, a local
Realtor/broker.
Terrell suggested again
that small items be taken
up one on one with Pat, to
which Kramer said it was
his right to use the tiUgA,
'located t.o bring up his con-
cerns. especially since he
only had two: days to look
over the document.
"I recognize everybody,
should have: had this a week
ago and I wanted to cancel
this 'meeting so we wouldn't
have three hours of being
trashed because the docu-
ment only became available
two days ago," Blackshear.
said. ,
Citizen and planner Mark
Schnell said, "Compatibility
when laid but as a policy
makes the assumption that
whatever is already there is
OK. I think that isa problem.
It is difficult to vouch for the
applicability of the neigh-
borinig property. I think the
language needs to be mas-
saged because determining
what should be there based
on what is there can limit
good developments because
there is a shack on an adja-


cent property. "I would love
for this whole document to
start addressing in a more
proactive way what should
be in place,, rather than re-
acting to what is there," he
concluded.
, Blackshear noted, "There
could be small pockets of
blight all over the county,
but developments have time
limits. I will look for ways
to add some language that
deals with new development
and re-development."
Commissioner Terrell
said, .."I have a problem
with who decides what is a
shack and what is not. The
guy who lived there 25 years
may think it is just fine."
As 'a final comment, Ter-
rell noted there were rumors
Commissioner Tom Patton
had been asked to step down
from. the commission. "As
far as I'm concerned, Tom is
one of the more knowledge-
able members of this board
and I would hope the Board
of County Commissioners
would change their minds'
about this," he said. "It
would'be awfully hard for a
new person to join us in the
middle of the EAR process
and I value Tom's opinion
and expertise."
Members of the planning
commission serve at the
pleasure of the county com-


missioners, with each of the
five appointing one member.
The other two members of
the board hold at-large posi-
tions.
Patton said he would do
whatever was asked, but
he hoped to remain on the
board at least until the EAR
process was complete.
There being no 'other
comments, the meeting
scheduled for- Jan :-'15- was
cancelled, making the next
EAR workshop date, Jan. 21.
beginning at 4 p.m.

munity Council (SWCC) an-

PROJECT


Inc. came before the com-
mission seeking approval
for a planned unit develop-
ment (PUD) called Walton
County Apartments. The
plan asked for conceptual
approval of 261 multifam-
ily rental units within nine
buildings, with 9,800 square
feet of space for office and
bank use on 46 acres des-
ignated as small neighbor-
hood, The site is located on
the east side of U.S. 331, ap-
proximately 1,600 feet south
of Chat Holly Road.
William Pope, speaking
for the project, explained
that Phase I would comprise
31 acres for the first apart-
ments, with a pool and the
remainder of the property
held for Phase II. The devel-
opment will also include a
conservation easement with
an elevated walkway.
Speaking for the county
planning department, Ja-
son Bryan said, "This is a
conceptual approval request


meaning there are still a lot
of gray areas. It combines
three land uses. There are
several conditions yet to be
met, including a number of
permits and meeting traffic
concurrency. Beyond those,
it does meet the minimum
LDC code requirements,
but since it has a commer-
cial component, it will have
to pass the requirements of
the Technical Review Com-
mittee (TRC)."
Citizen David Kramer
said, "I am an adjacent af-
fected property 'owner. The
developer at the first public
hearing said there would be
a number of public hearings
before bringing it here. They
did not have but one meet-
ing. Additionally I wanted
to say giving them small
neighborhood density bonus
points for a public meeting
they were required to have is
not going above and beyond,
which is what I thought the
bonus points were for."

There was some confu-
sion on the part of nearby
citizens thinking the apart-
ments were being built as
part of affordable/workforce
housing, but Pope addressed
that issue saying, "I need
to clarify that we are not
building affordable housing,
but we have achieved lower
rents by making smaller
apartments. We worked
real hard on the access and
egress to keep from going
into the community. We
heard that loud and clear at
the public meeting. We are
asking approval today for
Phase I only."
-Commissioner Patton
made a motion to approve
the project subject to staff
conditions, resolution of util-
ity easements, and evidence
of Florida Department of
Transportation approval of
a median cut. The motion
was seconded by Sally Mer-
rifeld and approved by all.

Board approves signs, architecture,



landscaping and lighting


By DOTTY NIST
The Walton County De-
sign Review Board (DRB)
accomplished several items
of business on Jan. 6 in a
relatively short meeting
This county-appointed
board of volunteers reviews
applications for signs and


developments on Walton
County's major scenic cor-
ridors with regard to aes-
thetics. The board has pur-
view over the U.S. 98 Scenic
Corridor in south Walton
County, which includes U.S.
331 south of the bay bridge,
along with the CR-30A Sce-
nic Corridor. Most develop-


ment .projects which receive
DRB approval proceed to
the Walton County Plan-
ning Commission and Wal-
ton County Board of County
Commissioners for further
consideration.
At their Jan. 6 regular
meeting, DRB members
granted architectural ap-


proval for three commercial
buildings totaling 43.692
square feet, along with a
master signage plan and
landscaping plan. The ap-
plicant was Seascape Re-
sort, and the project site is
1373 Scenic Gulf Drive.
This approval was with
the condition that the site be


surveyed for existing trees
and was subject to board
member William Smith's
approval of trees being pre-
served. The approval also
required that any satellite
and air conditioning units be
shielded from public view.
Plans for a 33-square-foot
building sign for the new


Bayou Bill's Restaurant
building were approved, as
well, along with a replace-
ment landscaping plan and
revised lighting plan for Sil-
ver Sands Factory Stores.
Draft minutes from the
Jan. 6 DRB meeting are the
source of information for
this report.

WALTON CoomfY



It would appear that after last Monday's huge registra-
tion day, not" dly have Walton County :Snowbirds (WCS)
met last year's numbers, but with nearly 800 registrants
for the one day, WCS might bd slightly ahead of last year's
numbers. When it comes. to a decision between enduring a
cold, snowy winter or a winter in Destin, recession or no
recession, the Emerald Coast wins out,
Jan Young's art group will be meeting at the Destin
United Methodist Church at 200 Beach Drive from 12:30-
3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, January 13: The Crafters Club will be
meeting at the Village Baptist Church on Matthew Street
in Building 6 on Wednesday, Jan. 14, from 9:30 a.m. -11:30
a.m. E-mail Sandy Grabczynzki at sag3491@yahoo.com for
more information.
Sacred Heart Hospital will be holding weekly tours of
their facilities on Fridays for limited numbers. Call the
main desk at 278-3072 to set up a tour. Opportunities. will
be available through the month of March.
Tuesday and Thursday golf leagues enjoyed their
first week with lots of eager participants working out the
kinks and scraping off some of the rust. On February 12,
there will be a joint golf event at the Fort Walton Golf Club.
The men will play a President's Cup format with the U.S.A.
against Canada and the rest of the.world. The women will
play a scramble with everyone using a shotgun stait. Cost
will be $35 with $5 going to a shelter for battered women.
Registration will begin Jan. 12. A quick phone call to Vegas
said that early odds favoured the visiting side. Boo Weekley
said he might make it down from Milton to even the play-
ing field. Emerald Bay scramble signups will begin on Mon-
day, Jan. 12 for the January 20 event. Continue to check
waltoncpuntysnowbirds.com for added playdays. There are
more playdays than ever, so check the website or come to
registration.
The ladies' luncheon is set for Thursday, Feb. 26, at the
Embassy Suites. Tickets will be available at Monday reg-
istrations at the Faith Assembly Hall, so pick one up soon,
as this event has been known to sell out. Cost for the meal
and the fashion show will be $27.
Finally, we will be having euchre on Friday nights from
6:30 till 9:15 p.m. at Good News United Methodist Church
on U.S. 98 about three miles past CR-30A, on the south
side just before the storage facilities. The church consists
of two buildings. Euchre will be in the first building closest
to Destin. The facility will only accommodate 22 tables, so
it will be on a first-come basis. Friday, Jan. 16 will be the
first session. WCS must have trustee approval for this site.
If that doesn't happen, members will be called. No call and
we play!
For more information, contact Brian Cosgrove online at
nancyandbrian@hotmail.com.

the previous pier, ensuring
it does not impact the na-
tive. vegetation, and has a
much stronger -and more
stable design. The new pier
is approximately 50 feet in
length with a 10-foot by 15-
foot deck at the end and a
built-in bench overlooking
the lake. In addition, the

THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, JANUARY 15,2009


PAGE 3-C











































The Florida Chautauqua
had its birth last year and,
without surprise, the local
community and many
event-goers from all across
the nation took a weekend
to learn more ab9ut
Chautauqua, Walton
County and all this area
has to offer. This year,
some of the original events
return, but many new ones
will dot the Chautauqua
program.
People from all around
the country have begun to
make their vacation plans
and travel destinations to
DeFuniak Springs during
the month of February. It
has become a mecca for
artists, writers, speakers
and others that have
become enthralled with "our
piece of paradise.

Last year, the Florida
Chautauqua Assembly
introduced Walton County
to a wide variety of
entertainment and
educational events that
saw a large turn-out of
volunteers as well as, ticket
holders. This year they are
attempting to t, do
themselves and provide
more events that,cater not
only to locals and local'
traditions, but to% 'bther
parts of the country, and
those special traits that has
made them who they are
today:
The Florida Chautauqua
Assembly, Winter in the
Land of Summer, is a
combination of learning
where we as a county, state
and nation have come from,
and where we are going in
the future. The assembly
sessions are both
entertaining and
educational and have
brought about a greater
sense of pride in our


community.
With every
event, new and


annual
exciting


events have to be added,
while others need to be
pulled for a season. The
Florida Chautauqua
Assembly has made strides
to do just that and keep
guests returning year after
year.
Among the new events
for this year's assembly are
the "Blast from the Past"
quartet that will be
performing hit songs from
the 50s and 60s, the
Zambian Folk Singers in
concert, a street dance with
the' Howlies, and the Krewe
of Chautauqua Mardi Gras
Gala on Thursday, Feb. 19,
which will kick off the 10-
day celebration.
Throughout the 10
days of events, local artists,
area and regional
government groups,

S


MAIDIO


quilters, performers,
authors, event planners,
and others will take over
most of the lakeside
facilities. From early
morning exercise classes
and lectures, to late
afternoon and evening
concerts, the Florida
Chautauqua Assembly has
organized some of the most
interesting events that
have ever come to this part
of Florida.
The following is a
list and schedule of events
that have been planned for
this year's assembly. More
events are being added
weekly to this rosters, as
well as updates on event
locations and times.
