SuperintendentAnderson
ip a lot told the Herald in a phone
interview Jan. 23, "The bud-

to make dramatic changes
in the way that we do work
every day. If it means clos-

t son. "I would say budget

general operating budget is
salaries and benefits."
Anderson ended by say-
ing, "By the end of this
school year, what we need
to look for next school year
is $4.4 million in reductions
based on the cuts we've had
thus far."
At the board's regular
meeting Jan. 20, members
approved the contract for
the legal services of Attor-
ney Ben Holley. Holley's
contract was set to be ap-
proved for three years. How-
ever, Barnhill motioned to
"amend approval to one year
due to budget cuts, stressing
he was in no way suggesting
termination of Holley's con-
tract after -uch time.
Upon Barnhill's sug-
gestion, Holley asked the
board to consider he has not
requested ( a pay increase
in several years in light of
budget cuts, and his fees per
year totaled only $28,000,
to which Barnhill replied,


"One day maybe you can
make as much as our nego-
tiator does."
,The board unanimously
approved personnel recom-
mendations, and Facilities
Coordinator Mark Gardner
took a moment to note the
.retirement of Danny Bell
and his years of service.
The motion carried to
temporarily suspend the
school board development
order application fees until
the end of fiscal year 2008-
2009 to evidence the board's
sympathy in a time of eco-
nomic crisis:.
Superintendent Anderson
commended Walton County
students for raising $11,
565.99 for Children in Cri-
sis. Children in Crisis is an
organization that believes
ignorance and illiteracy lie
at the heart of poverty, and
work to provide education
and health care for children
in the world's poorest coun-
tries.


Paxton Town Council looks


toward economic development


By BRUCE COLLIER
The Paxton Town Coun-
cil held its regular monthly
meeting on Jan. 20, at Pax-
ton Town Hall. In accor-
dance with its decision in
December, the Council now
meets the third Tuesday of
every month. The meeting
came to order at 6 p.m.'Pres-
ent at the beginning were
Bobby Kemp, Bill McRae,
Jenice Armstrong, and Pax-
ton Mayor Hayward Thom-
as. Council member Mark
Warren arrived at .6:25 p.m.
Council member Ann Sex-
ton was absent. Also attend-
ing were City Attorney Lori
Bytell.
Following routine busi-
ness, the Council heard a
presentation from mem-
bers of the board of Walton
County Economic Develop-
ment Alliance, including
Walton County Chamber
of. Commerce President
Dawn Moliterno, DeFuniak


Springs Mayor Harold Car-
penter and City Manager
Kim Kirby, and Walton
County Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) Dis-
trict 4 Commissioner Sara
Comander.


Moliterno spoke of the
organization's efforts to "so-
lidify" an economic voice for
Walton County. The BCC
has approved a per capital
assessment "funding mecha-
nism" for a three-year agree-


ment to fulfill the economic
strategic plan. Moliterno
requested that the Council

DFS City Council joins WCEDA


By ALICIA LEONARD
Walton County Board
of County Commissioners
(BCC) Chairwoman Sara
Comander came before the
DeFuniak Springs City
Council to request their fi-
nancial commitment to the
Walton County Econom-
ic Development Alliance
(WCEDA). Comander said


of the alliance, "After vis-
iting Jackson County and
seeing how prosperous they
have become by working to
bring new business to their
county, we quickly realized
that we would get no where
unless all of the cities and
the county came together
in Walton and spoke with
one voice in the search for


economic stability for our
citizens and our community.
We had to come together
to make this happen. The
purpose of this alliance is to
bring and grow business in
Walton County."
The Council approved
unanimously to make a
three-year commitment to
the WCEDA at $15,000 per


year. DeFuniak Springs was
the last of three cities to in-
vest in the alliance. WCEDA
used a public sector per cap-
ital formula to set a basis for
funding request. The county
portion was $243,500, De-
Funiak Springs' contribu-
tion was $15,396, Freeport's
was $3,600 and Paxton's
contribution was $1,000.


Mayor Harold Carpenter
told the Council, "This com-
mittee, this group that has
come together is an out-
standing group of individu-
als and I think this will be
a very successful endeavor."
Council member James
Huffman told the audience,

ANY EFFORTS BY
WCSO deputies to organize
under the Police Benevolence
Association were stopped by
an overwhelming majority
on the Jan. 22 vote.



WCSO


union


effort


crushed


by vote

By ALICIA LEONARD
In 'a landslide vote, mem-
bers of the Walton County
Sheriffs Office(WCSO)
stopped an effort at union-
ization dead in its tracks
this past week.
According to the State
of Florida Public Relations
Commission, the vote count-
ed on Jan. 22 was a victory
for those against union orga-
nization inside the WCSO.
Out of 128 eligible voters in
the issue, 70 cast their vote.
Of those, 50 voted against
the union effort and only 20
supported it through a yes
vote.
The issue had become
quite a hotbed of controver-
sy when it first became pub-
lic knowledge that the effort
was underway after then
incumbent Sheriff Ralph
Johnson lost in last year's
Republican Primary to now
sitting Sheriff Mike Adkin-
son.
Adkinson released the
following statement on the
vote, "I am proud to an-
nounce that the Public Em-
ployee's Relation Commis-
sion (PERC) has announced
that, effective 1/22/09, the
PBA's attempt to form a col-
lective bargaining unit at
the Walton County Sheriffs
Office has failed. The vote
was not close and deputies
rejected the PBA by almost
a 3 to 1 margin. I consider
this a vote of confidence
and will honor your choice
by continuing to work to-
ward making this the finest
sheriffs office in the state of
Florida."
Two efforts to have Flor-
ida Police Benevolent As-
sociation representatives
comment on the vote went
unreturned before going to
press.

When times are hard,


people hit the books


THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, JANUARY 29,2009


By ALICIA LEONARD
Actually, they hit the
place that has the books, and
a whole lot more. With the
recent economic downturns,
one local asset is seeing an
ever-evolving increase in its
customer base. It's the local
library. Comparing the num-
ber of uses almost 34,000
more items were checked
out in 2008 then 2007 and
visitations recorded showed
18,000 more visits occurred
in 2008.
Library Director Dan Ow-
ens believes the increase is
two-fold. "Our snowbirds in
the winter months always
increase our numbers, part
of it is also the economy. I
see more people coming in
and using the Internet to ap-
ply for jobs online or prepar-
ing resumes. We also have
increase in job *searches


and checking out books on
resumes and employment.
People are also coming in
because they have discon-
tinued their Internet service
and they use the library to
access the Internet."
Owens said that many
media outlets are now tout-
ing the multipurpose com-
munity resource available to
citizens. "Lots of papers and
television shows are tout-
ing local libraries as a way
to save money." Owen also
said that just being exposed
to all the library has to offer
makes for return custom-
ers.
Best-sellers, popular fic-
tion, audio books, DVDs and
VHS tapes and movies, MP3
disks and CDs are just a few
of the treasures available for
borrowing. Prime Time pro-
grams at the south Walton
branch and book discussion


groups that meet at three
of the branches and the
writer's group that meets at
the Coastal Branch Library.
Anyone interested in any of
the programs can call the
main library in DeFuniak

Coastal Branch 267-2809;
Freeport Public Library

ton library in Flowersview,
834-5383.
Owens said, "Our web-
page at www.youseemore.
com/walton allows library
users to browse our online
catalog, reserve items, check
on the status of books they
have reserved, renew items
that they have checked out,

"A Little


Good News"

By RON KELLEY

Honey-throated singer Anne Murray once sang, "I sure
could use a little good news today." She was lamenting the
endless litany of bad news, both local and far away, and
thought to herself, "Just once, how I'd like to see the head-
line say 'Not muoh to print today. Can't find nothing bad to
say.'"
Well, though it's far too easy to find a plethora of grim
news, it's not too difficult to find good things that are going
on either. Here in Walton County, we have no trouble find-
ing good news to pass along to you on these pages.
For instance, the county has taken a bold step forward in
directing efforts toward energizing economic development
throughout the county and all three municipalities. Con-
sidering all the bad news about what the country is facing
economically, the fact that major forces within the county
are joining together to produce results is some of the best
good news we've seen in a long time. The whole effort is
enhanced by the participation of the Walton County Cham-
ber of Commerce. Director Dawn Moliterno is working
closely with the Walton County Commission, and is joined
by the mayors and city councils of DeFuniak Springs, Pax-
ton and Freeport. Since all have the same goal improving
our economy by attracting clean industry and creating a
business-friendly environment their joint efforts can only
mean good news for the rest of us. I
Other good news includes the coming season of The
Chautauqua Assembly. It begins Jan. 29, here in DeFuniak
Springs, where it was founded in Florida in. 1884. The
Chautauqua Center's Assembly is themed, "A Journey Into
Africa." It features a world-class lineup of speakers, pre-
senters and talented artists of every stripe. The full lineup
is available at their website www.florida-chautauqua-cen-
ter.org. The costs are modest and many exhibits are free.
This Assembly lasts through Feb. 1.
The good news is that's not the end of it. The Chautau-
qua Winter Assembly begins its program on February 20
with the theme "Getting There From Here." This Assem-
bly, now in its second year, also promises to delight with a
vast array of talented, enthralling speakers and fine per-
formances. More good news is that throughout the week
of Feb. 23-27, Chautauqua goes to school with programs
in Walton County schools. Then, on Saturday, Feb. 28, the
Assembly starts fresh with a new round of speakers and
performances, lasting through Sunday evening. The full
schedule is available online at www.floridachautauqua.
org.
This county is blessed to have three weekends of great
American performances brought to us courtesy of the Chau-
tauqua Center and the Chautauqua Winter Assembly.
These hard-working groups deserve our praise, gratitude
and, most of all, our support.
There's good news about U.S. 331, too. More of it than
we first thought is going to be widened to four lanes! Of
course, I'll never see it properly widened to four lanes from
the beaches to the Alabama line, like it should be, but hav-
ing more of it four-laned is good news for anyone that ever
has to travel that federal highway.
Over in Tallahassee, the good news is that Big Bend
State Attorney Willie Meggs has launched an investiga-
tion into the dealings between Florida House Speaker Ray
Sansom and Northwest Florida State College officials. The
people don't deserve having to endure an administration
that might be tainted. The sooner the investigation moves
forward and uncovers the necessary facts of the case and an
appropriate decision is made, the sooner we can all move on
with the business of government.
Finally, now that President 'Barack Obama has firmly
launched his administration and begun to take actions that
will affect us all, I'mi going to genuinely praise him while I
can because I sense that I may not have many opportuni-
ties.
President Obama ordered that Guantanamo Bay be
closed. That blight against the honor of America should
never have been opened. The America that I know and love
does not open torture camps and act like our rabid-dog en-
emies. Besides, if we can't make a legal case against them,
why are we holding them?
This isn't a game of "tit for tat:' That's the kind of warped.
thinking that has kept the Middle East at war with itself
for the last 2,000 years. I think we can safely say that it has
been empirically proven that, as a strategy, this does not
work.
So, thank you, President Obama, for doing the right
thing at the right time.
Now if you'd just flush this Economic Stimulus plan
down the drain instead of all of our hard-earned money -
that would be, well, that really would be a little good news
today.

President Obama hopes his fast-approaching $1 trillion
stimulus package will act like a defibrillator, shocking the
economy back to robust health. What he's going to get will
function more like methamphetamine.
People who use meth struggle to deal with reality. They
poison themselves with a substance that has no business
being in their body, and which ultimately tears them to
shreds, but is successful for short periods of time at shield-
ing the person from dealing with the true state of affairs
that is his or her sorry life.
The U.S. economy is like that. It is in a recession for
some good reasons. Interest rates were kept artificially low
for too long. Home values were artificially high until the
only people who could convert that "value" into actual cash
- home buyers ran out of capacity to continue doing so
by buying overpriced homes. Financial institutions couldn't
collect payments on mortgage loans they had made often
based on the aforementioned "value."
Consumers who pushed their credit to the max to buy
crap could do so no longer because the providers of credit
quite rationally pulled back. Gigantic companies who spent
beyond their means for years to buy labor peace burned
through their cash reserves, and could persuade neither the
credit markets nor the product-buying markets to subsidize
their largesse any longer. f
Oh yeah, and we doubled the national debt in eight years,
which does a lot (and nothing good) for the confidence of
those who make up the markets.
The economy is in recession because it has fundamental
structural problems that need to be worked out. A slot of
people lost their jobs because they didn't provide their em-
ployers with, enough value to justify the pay they were re-.
ceiving. A lot of companies lost contracts because the prod-
ucts or services being provided weren't worth what their
customers were paying.
Economies can grow too fast. Rational, productive eco-
nomic activity fuels healthy, sustainable growth. Irrational
economic activity can fuel economic growth as well, but it's
not sustainable. It happened in the late '90s when people in-
vested lots of capital in dot.com companies, which could do
a lot of things, but making a profit wasn't one of them. The
dot.coms spent money on technology, people, consultants,
advertising it was economic activity! Stimulus, you might
say. But when they failed to turn it into sustainable profit,


it all dried-up and.the economic activity it had spurred was
no more.
This is what you get when you pin your hopes for eco-
nomic stimulus on spending financed by unsustainalble
sources, such as investment funds from investors who will
get no return, home equity loans on overinflated homes or
government spending from a government that's already out
of money and has to either borrow or crank up the print-
ing presses to fund your "stimulus."
One particularly absurd Obama proposal is to put mon-
ey in the hands of lower-income people, via payroll tax "re-
bates," so they will turn around and spend the extra money.
Even if this group did spend the money (and they'd be bet-
ter off saving it), it would not represent a serious solution
to any structural economic problem.
All this is designed to protect us from dealing with the
reality that we should be in a recession, and that we can't
reasonably hope for sustained economic growth to resume
until we work out these problems.
House Republicans are offering some far more rational
measures, including permanent reductions of the.nation's
two lowest tax rates; a permanent tax deduction for small
businesses equal to-20 percent of their income; and an end to
levying federal taxes against unemployment benefits. None
of this will end the recession quickly, but that shouldn't be
the goal. The goal should be to put more sensible economic
policies in place and keep them in place permanently.
Trying to "stimulate" the economy back to growth, rath-
er than giving .it time to work out these problems, is like
pumping your body full of meth. Meth stimulates all kinds
of physical sensations that mask your pain and consterna-
tion, but it doesn't solve any of your problems, and brings
on a whole host of new ones.
Recessions can be weathered. You can and should react
to them by correcting irrational economic policies ,that may
have ,helped bring them about. But $1 trillion in deficit
spending, by a nation already facing $10 trillion in debt
and $58 trillion in unfunded entitlement obligations, is ev-
ery bit as insane as pumping your body full of methamphet-
amine.
If you think the economy looks bad now, wait until it
shows up on one of those "Faces of Meth" sites. That's
where this sort of "stimulus" is going to lead us.

Change for Children


in Walton County


Walton County students
learn about helping oth-
ers as they donate their
spare change to "Change
for Children" for a second
year in a row. Students
raised $11,500 this year and
$11,400 in the fall of 2007.
These donations are used
to assist local children in
need. The event was coordi-
nated by the Walton County
Retired Educators' Asso-
ciation. Tonya Lighter with
Army Aviation Center Fed-
eral Credit Union assisted
the project by helping sort
the change..
"We are so proud of our
students for raising these
funds," said Supt. Carlene


Anderson. "This project not
only benefits the children
served by the Children in
Crisis organization but also
teaches our youth about
community awareness."
All Walton County schools
participated in the fundrais-
er called Change for Chil-
dren. Students brought in
spare change. Funds will be
used to assist local children
served by The Children's
Neighborhood with clothing,
school supplies and basic
needs. All funds remain in
Okaloosa and Walton coun-
ties.
The Children in Crisis
Organization is currently
building "The Children's


Neighborhood" in Fort
Walton Beach to provide
an emergency shelter and
four new foster homes for
the abused, neglected, and
abandoned children in both
Okaloosa and Walton coun-
ties. Currently, there is a
severe shortage of foster
homes in our area.
The Children's Neighbor-
hood will help ensure that
all of the children in the
community have a place to
call home. Future plans are
to build additional foster
homes in Walton County.
For more specific infor-
mation, visit www.children-
incrisisfl.org.


SHOWN HERE ARE Joyce Kelley, Walton County Retired Teachers Assdciation,. Tonya
Lighter with Army Aviation Center Federal Credit Union, Supt. of Schools Carlene Ander-
son, and Ken Hair for Children in Crisis.




Local high school athletes

Rival teams, the Walton
High School Lady Braves
and the Paxton High School.
Lady Bobcats, played bas-
ketball for a bigger cause
- breast cancer research on
Dec. 20 raising $1,906.50
for breast cancer aware-
ness and research. Walton
High School gymnasium
was packed with pink and
white as the teams rallied to
win the game and the fight
against breast cancer.
"I am so proud of these
young ladies," said Wal-
ton High Principal Russell
Hughes. "They are winners
on the court and off as they
work to help others."

presented Emily Jennings
of the American Cancer So-
ciety in Walton County with
a check for $1,906.50.
The idea .to raise aware-
ness about breast cancer was
that of Walton High Senior
Betsy Stevenson. Betsy;
along with many other team-
mates and classmates, have
experience with the disease
through family members.
Betsy's awareness led her to
learn that one out of every
four or five girls will be di-
agnosed with breast cancer
within their lifetime. This
led her to the staggering re-
alization that at least two
teammates or even herself
could be affected not count-
ing the girls on the opposite
side of the court. Betsy

shared her idea with team-
mates, coaches, principals,
and Supt. Carlene Ander-
son. Everyone realized the
magnitude one vision, one
game, and one night could
make in raising awareness
and funds for breast cancer
research.
"These athletes and
young ladies are phenom-
enal," said Hughes. "For
students to have thoughts of
others when the light is on
them is phenomenal to me."
"Thank you to Betsy, the
Lady Braves and the entire
Walton High School," said
Emily Jennings. "These
funds will go to breast can-
cer research, education,
advocacy and inpatient ser-
vices."

Nat'1 service programs offer seniors a chance to give back


For those retirees that
prefer to spend their "gold-
en" years doing something
other than playing dominos,
cards, or bingo, Elder Care
Services, Inc. offers these
individuals an opportunity
to give back to their com-
munity through the Senior
Service Corps Programs:
Retired & Senior Volunteer
Program (RSVP), Senior
Companion Program (SCP)
and the Foster Grandparent


Program (FGP).
Americans over 55 have
a lifetime of experience to
share, and the desire to
make a real difference in
their world. They've man-
aged households, been busi-
ness owners and nurses,
farmers and salespeople,
artists and executives. Now
they are ready to put their
unique talents and exper-
tise to work in their commu-
nities, and enrich their own


lives in the process.
Senior Corps offers sev-
eral ways to get involved.
Volunteers receive guidance
and training so they can
make a contribution that
suits their talents, interests,
and availability. Volunteers
also recieve free accident, li-
ability, and excess automo-
bile insurance while serving,
as well as reimbursement
for some expenses. Each
Senior Corp Program has a


different and unique focus:
Foster Grandparents
(FGP) are volunteers age
60 and over who work with
children and young people
with exceptional needs.
Senior Companions (SCP)
are volunteers age 60 and
over who serve adults in
their community who have
difficulty with simple day-
to-day living.


Retired & Senior Volun-
teer Program (RSVP) offers
"one stop shopping" for vol-
unteers age 55 and over who
want to find challenging, re-
warding and significant ser-
vice opportunities in their
local communities.
Senior Corps is a program
of the Corporation for Na-
tional and Community Ser-
vice, an independent federal


agency created to connect
Americans with opportuni-
ties to give back to their com-
munities and their nation.
Locally the Senior Corps
Programs are sponsored by
Elder Care Services, Inc., a
United Way agency.
For more information
about Senior Corps in Wal-
ton County, contact Julie at

Freeport water supply enhanced presents jazz concert


Action taken by the
Northwest Florida. Water
Management District Gov-
erning Board this week will
help the. city of Freeport
construct a water trans-
mission line .between the
communities of Portland
and Choctaw Beach. The
District will provide grant
funding up to $750,000 to
construct a 12-inch water
main between Portland and
Choctaw Beach that will
also interconnect the city's
main water system and its
North Bay system.
"We are pleased to help
this region meet its potable
water needs and sustain"its
water resources for decades'
to -come," said Douglas E.
Barr. District executive di-.


rector. "This initiative will
improve the reliability of
public water supply and
help drought proof an area
the District has designated
as a water resource caution
area."
"Not only. is' Freeport
within a coastal area that is
experiencing rapid growth
and declining ground water
levels," said Nick Wooten,
chief of the District's Bu-
reau of Surface Water, "it,is
also in water supply plan-
ning Region II, for which a
regional water supply plan
has been approved by the
governing board. Addition-
ally, Freeport has been des-.
ignated by the state as a ru-
ral area of critical economic
concern."


Through this project, the
city will lay about 35,. 900
linear feet of water line at
an estimated cost of $1.3-1.7
million. The District grant
will provide up to $750,000
toward this cost, not to ex-
ceed half of all project costs.
Last year the District pro-
vided $3 million to help Free-
port develop a wastewater
reuse system. The District
has made continuing invest-
ments in sustaining the re-
gion's water resources, and
this project is expected to
complement long-term ef-
forts of the District and lo-
cal governments to protect
water resources throughout
the region. View the map

think cattle like being that
close to each other. We were
pressed against each other
I past all modesty, yet no one
was offended. We had a des-
. ;,,:m tination and a fervent desire
to make it.
"At 11:45, I came through
the Purple Gate and made
a mad dash into my sec-
Stion. We had no hope of see-
ing President Obama, and
somehow that did not mat-'
ter. We watched on the Jum-
botron, taking pictures and
I repositioning to try and get
better shots, it was surreal.
My tears came when I heard
the words, Congratulations,
Mr. President and the 44th
President of the United
I States, Barack Obama."
"After President Obama's
speech, I followed the crowd
toward the exit, still alone, in
a state of euphoria, wonder-
Iing where my sisters were
Sand wishing that some of
Smy fellow Democratic Black
Si Caucus members were here
* .to witness the spectacle and
SI then began to think
about Obama's intrepid
spirit, his unrelenting pur-
suit of what just one year
ago seemed impossible. I
thought about the fact that
as she he embodied the very thing
that has kept America so'


separate for hundreds of
years, he is black and he is
white, he is all of our ha-
tred, fears and hope fused
together in one man. "As I
headed toward the parade, I
ran once again into my sis-
ter Debra and the others.We
decided to concentrate our
efforts on making it back
to RFK where all the tour
buses were. We could get no
help, no cab would stop, the
police would not help and it
was getting colder."
"We Floridians, not used
to such cold, were freezing,
praying and fearful that
night would fall and we
would still be on that cor-
ner, getting no help. Soon a
man pulled up and let a lady
out of his van and I told my
sister to ask him for a ride,
but she said no. I went to the
van and tapped on his win-
dow and said, 'Could we pay
you to take us to RFK?' 'No,
I am sorry, I cannot.' About
30 seconds later that same
man walked up behind me
and said, 'I am sorry, you
asked if you could pay me
to take you to RFK, no, you
cannot pay me, but I will


take you. How many of you
are there?' I told him there
were five and he put all of us
into his van and took us to
RFK, still refusing pay. My
sister Deadre had made it
back to the bus also."
"What is notable about
this story is that we were all
strangers and the situation
could have been dangerous
on either side, but I simply
did not feel that. The cab
drivers and most of the po-
licemen were black, yet this
kind stranger was a white
man. He said, 'As soon as I
pulled off, I said to myself,
what did Obama just say
and I turned the corner and
stopped.' He dropped us off
with his only pay being a big
hug from my sister Debra
and I.

"Again I thought, this is
the America that Obama
wants and I saw again that
it is indeed possible, prob-
able."
"What Obama has done
for most African-Americans
is that he has taken away
all of our excuses. Not in
failing, but now there is no
excuse not to keep trying, in
spite of failure, to face our
lives with the tenacity that
he did and overcome."
"No matter what, in spite
of the elements, of getting
lost and separated, my sis-
ters and I will always be
glad that we were there.
This particular piece of his-
tory will not be repeated,
but our trip will be handed
down through many genera-
tions."

the assessment. Comartder
said that the development
board members have at-
tended economic meetings-
in Jackson County, and
she has learned that what
comes to the county "bene-
fits all cities and the county
together.
"I'm encouraged," added
Comander. "We're holding
hands. We have to be poised
and ready."
Following discussion
of possible quarterly pay-
ment of the assessment,
Bill McRae moved to join
the organization and to pay
the assessment. The motion
was seconded and approved..
"I am impressed with what
has been done and what can
be done," said McRae.
Moliterno promised that
the Council. would receive
quarterly economic reports.
Mayor Thomas current-
ly serves on the Alliance
board, and the Council has
the option to choose an ad-
ditional person to serve as a


ter in DeFuniak Springs.
Whitaker wrote in her pro-
posal, "We envision a place
where young and old will
gather to learn science and
skills of garden and grow
fresh vegetables for local
charity needs, as well as
their own use."
Whitaker proposed a plot
of land west of the DeFu-
naik Springs water plant
on West Main St. and 12th
St. The city would supply
the water and individual
lots would be offered for
rental (10 are proposed at
this time). The rental of the
smaller lots would fund the
larger garden lot and the.
produce from that,lot would
be given to Walton Cares to
help feed the hungry.
Council member Don
Harrison said, "I'm not sure
about putting a garden
in the historical district,"
and suggested another lo-
cation further outside of
town. Huffman said, "We
don't need something that
people can't access." Harri-
son responded that he loved
the idea, but was not sure
about the location. Huff-
man said, "We can always
try it here the first year and
if it doesn't work there, we
can move it the next year. I
think it will be an asset to.
have it visible, where people
can see it." Huffman made
the motion to grant the re-
quest and the Council voted
unanimously in favor of the
new community project.

nounced the next signage
workshop would be held on
Feb. 10 at 5:30 at City Hall.

The board meets at 7:30
a.m. the second Thursday of
every month, in DeFuniak
Springs.
The Council next dis-
cussed a price quote re-
ceived for cabinets for the
town hall. Kemp asked if the
project had been advertised
for bids. Following a brief
discussion on procedures,
he Council decided to run a
request for bids in the news-
paper, and to consider them
along with the bid already
received, before awarding
the contract.
There followed a discus-
sion of plots in the town's
cemetery. It was decided to
standardize dimensions on
plots, and McRae expressed
his desire to see exact di-
mensions placed on every
plot deed, to avoid prob-
lems.
In old business, the lights
at the town's lift stations
were operational. McRae
urged, as he had before, the


desirability of preventative
maintenance.
Returning to the subject
of cemeteries, Mayor Thom-
as asked for a survey of the
property. Attorney Bytell
said "having clear boundar-
ies is very, very important."
Perpetual lot maintenance
was also discussed. Bytell
advised the Council that
funds collected for that pur-
pose must be placed in a
separate bank account spe-
cifically dedicated to that
purpose.
Warren, Armstrong and
Kemp had nothing to report
from their respective depart-
ments. McRae reported that
a clock had been installed at
the Agricultural Building.
McRae also made a motion
that electrical wiring and
paving for the town hall and
.its parking lot be redone,
which was approved after a
brief discussion.

The meeting was then ad-
journed.

THE LITTLE BIG HORN


The story of the day
George Armstrong Custer
led approximately 210 men
to their deaths in the Mon-
tana wilderness of the Little
Big Horn has assumed leg-
endary, if not mythological,
proportions in American
culture.
The battle epitomizes
the clash of two cultures in
hundreds of ideological and
practical concepts their
ideas of land ownership,
their ideas of treaties and
boundaries, their leadership
and their concept of how to
fight a war.
In 1868, the Treaty of
Fort Laramie was signed.
This treaty granted the
Black Hills area to the In-
dians. However, in the early
1870s, rumors spread of


gold in the Hills, and white
miners began slipping into
the reservation area. In
1874, the U.S. government
decided to determine the
validity of these rumors
and sent a geological team,
under Custer, to examine
the minerals in the area.
Gold was among the miner-
als found, and no one could
have stopped the barbarian
hordes of miners flowing
into the reservation. In late
1875, Sioux and Cheyenne
Indians defiantly left their
reservations, outraged over
the continued intrusions
of whites into their sacred
lands in the Black Hills.
They gathered in Montana
with the great warrior Sit-
ting Bull, Crazy Horse, Gall
and others, to fight for their


lands. The following spring,
two victories over the U.S.
Cavalry emboldened them
to fight on in the summer of
1876.
Since that fateful Sunday
in June 1876 until the pres-
ent, Custer's movements,
after a messenger left him
and until his defeat, have
.been the subject of heated
debate. Until recently, it
was believed that no white
survivors lived to tell the
tale, and Indian accounts of
the battle were discounted
at the time.
Over the years, archeo-
logical investigations have
used physical evidence and
artifacts to interpret spe-
cific elements of the battle.
,In turn, the archeological
studies spurred historians
and other researches to re-
evaluate the written record,
Native American oral tradi*
tion, and other accounts.
One thing is certain -
Custer divided the 7th Cav-
alry into three elements dur-
ing the early phases of the
battle and then subdivided
his immediate command

.'-'S ." -


into wings. This division of
his troops in the face of an
overwhelming number of
Indians may not have been
his best decision, but it was
an accepted and field-tested
military tactic that was suc-
cessful until this battle.
The Lakota and Chey-
enne warriors, although sur-
prised by the army's attack,
quickly rallied. The Lakota
and Cheyenne ivarriors out-
numbered, outgunned, and
outfought the soldiers of
the 7th Cavalry, giving the
army its worst defeat of the
entire Indian Wars. The In-
dian chiefs believed the bat-
tle would show the govern-
ment that they would never
give up the Black Hills and
.would accept no more bro-
ken promises from the Great
White Father. Instead, the
Battle of the Little Big Horn
turned out to be the Indian's
own last stand, a prelude to
their subjugation and near
extinction.
In the spring of 1876, a
three-pronged campaign was

MUCH LATER, this marker was erected in honor of the
many Indian tribes who valiantly fought in vain to save
.their way of life. (Photo by Ron Kelley)


MORE THAN ANY OTH-
ER figure, Chief Sitting Bull
was the driving force behind
the battle at Little Big Horn
and the Indian's last great
fight for survival of their
race. Sitting Bull's death in
1890 was apolitical assassi-
nation by the United States
government, insisted the
head of the Nebraska Na-
tional Guard, General Leon-
ard Colby, who wrote that
there was an "understand-
ing between the officers of
the Indian and military de-
partments that it wduld be
impossible to bring Sitting
Bull to Standing Rock alive,
and even if successfully cap-
tured, it would be difficult to
tell what to do with him. It is
therefore believed that there
was a tacit arrangement be-
tween the commanding of-
ficers and the Indian police,
that the death of the famous
old medicine man was much
preferred to his capture, and
that the slightest attempt to
rescue him should be the sig-
nal for his destruction." To
have him killed by Indian
police allowed the govern-
ment to avoid responsibility
in the matter. He was shot
while "resisting arrest."


ON THIS SPOT, Gen. Custer was killed. It's not known who actually killed the famous
general, several Indians took credit for Custer's death. (Photo by Ron Kelley)


A NATIONAL CEMETERY was established next to the battlefield and contains the re-
mains of some of the surviving soldiers and scouts who were with Benteen and Reno when
Custer was killed, as well as soldiers from later battles. The hill where Custer made his last
stand can be seen in the distance. (Photo by Ron Kelley)


GEN. GEORGE ARMSTRONG CUSTER, suffering from
embarrassing scandals back east, hoped that a successful
Indian campaign might catapult .him into the national
limelight and a bid for the presidency.

Ask


Auntie Em

Dear Auntie Em,

I have a dilemma. I work for a very large institution.
I enjoy my job, but am concerned about something that
is happening in my department. I believe that two. of
my office-mates may be having an affair. What makes
it worse is my supervisor has asked me about it and
she will fire them both if it is true. We have a strict no-
fraternization policy. They also both have families and
my supervisor is concerned that if this turns ugly, there
may be a sexual harassment issue, because one works
for the other. I hear little things between them, but not
enough to say one way or another, if it's really going on.
Should I tell everything to my boss or keep my nose out
of it?

Thanks,
Pensive in Pensacola.

Dear Pensive,

You are indeed in a tight spot. This is somewhere the
whole 'ignorance is bliss' ideal comes into play. You do
n6t mention if you are friends with either of these peo-
ple, so, this is my advice.
Do no more than is asked of you. Meaning, .if your
boss asked what you know and it's nothing solid, then
all you can offer is the truth. If you saw them laugh-
ing at the water cooler together, then say, "I saw them
laughing at the water cooler together." It is not your job
to be judge, jury, or spy for your supervisor. It's your job
to do your job. Let human resources handle the rest.
In fact, your supervisor would be smart to call them
into her office and ask them, instead of speaking with
their fellow employes, because you don't know and the
propensity for gossip about these two-could ruin their
lives, even if they are not guilty.
So, stay busy, keep your head down, tell the truth
and don't go looking for trouble. It's all you can really do
in this situation. Take care and God bless.

Gone but not forgotten

Victor you are gone but not forgotten, someone took
you away from us, but they could never take the love
that we have for you. Seems like yesterday I was at
one of your baseball games. You will always be a part
of our hearts. I would give anything to see your face
and tell you that we love you, but we know that you
are in a safe place. Your mom is always so sad, she
cries for you all the time. But I know that the Lord is
going to see her through this as well. You are still a
son, brother, father, cousin, and-wie will always love
you. This is from your Aunt Anetira (Nene) I loved you
from the very first time I saw you and you will always
live inside my heart.

Our Lord Christ,
S the teacher
of righteousness


By DR. ROBERT M. JAYE
Our Lord Jesus does not
destroy, but fulfills, as the
summer fulfills the promise
of spring. He speaks of the
ancient law, giving it a new
meaning: "Whosoever shall
break one of the least of
these. commandments, and
shall teach men so, shall be
called the least in the King-
dom of Heaven: but whoso-
ever shall teach them, shall
be called great in the king-
dom of Heaven." (Matthew
5:19). He will fulfill the de-
sires of those who fear in
Him the best way.
This is true religion.
Christ constructs. He is
more positive than negative;
more Yea and Amen than
Nay. Give your self to God
and ask him to fulfill in you
the principles of righteous-
ness. The Lord Christ fulfills
the law and the prophets,
which evidently stand for
the authority and principles
of the Old Testament. Yet
there are some people who
seem to take pleasure in an
atheistic attitude, having
pleasure in tearing down
the faith which we hold, and
giving nothing in its place.
The righteousness which


our Lord teaches is altogeth-
er different from that of the
Pharisees and the atheist:
Theirs is selfish, because the
righteousness of God means
nothing to them. Yet Christ
demands a righteousness
which is inward, vital, and
spiritual. We stand before
God in the imputed righ-
teousness of Christ which
is the believers through the
indwelling Holy Spirit.
A9 you read through
Matthew, notice how many
times the Lord says, "I say
unto you." There is majesty
in those words. He counted
it not robbery to be equal
with God, yet He was meek
and lowly in heart. These
statements cannot be recon-
ciled until we recognize that
He is Emmanuel God with
us!

Walton clips PDL in pair of games


By PATRICK CASEY
For anyone looking for
exciting basketball in the
area last week, Walton and
Ponce de Leon provided a
pair of games in a girls-boys
,double-header that fit the
iJill as both contests went
down to the waning seconds
to determine a winner.
The Lady Braves were
able to defeat PDL in over-
time 50-46 as Casey Perkins
scored 10 points in the fi-
,hal 12 minutes of the game
and Jasmine Moore's free


throw provided Walton with
a four-point lead that was'
just enough to earn the win
as Gypsy Griffin's half-court
shot at the buzzer nearly
went in.
Neither team shot the
ball well in the first half as
Walton built a 20-14 half-
time lead 'as Walton could
hit only 7-of-27 shots from
the floor in the first half of
play. The Pirates struggled
to 6-of-23 shooting in the
first half, but 15 turnovers
helped Walton build a six-

The Pirates snuffed the
turnovers in the second half
,and rallied to tie the game
at .29-all heading into the
fourth quarter. The two
teams battled to a 40-40 tie
at the end of regulation as
PDL had a couple of chances
to take the lead, only to see
shots pop out of their goal in
the waning seconds. Gypsy
Griffin appeared to give the
Pirates the lead with 20 sec-
onds left only to have the
ball pop out of the cylinder.'
Walton wound up with the
final possession of regula-
tion but could not score as
Betsy Stevenson's 16-foot
jumper came up short.
In overtime, Walton hit
8-of-12 free throws with
Casey Perkins providing
six points in the extra four
minute frame to pull out a
50-46 win. Betsy Stevenson
continued her torrent scor-

15 points, including 9-of-ll1

Sports News and Notes


By PATRICK CASEY
The Pensacola Catholic
Crusaders held South Wal-
ton scoreless in a 1-0 vic-
tory in the District 1-3A soc-
cer championship game at
Chipley last week. The win
gives Catholic, 12-6, their
ninth consecutive win of the
season and allows them to
host Taylor County in the
opening round of the girls
soccer playoffs on Thursday.
The Crusaders score early in
the first half as Liz Long got
the goal off an assist from
Skylar Kurpuis while Sarah
Grace Lowery had seven
saves for Catholic. The Sea-
hawks (9-6-2), who lost all
three games to the Crusad-
ers by one goal this season,
will travel to Tallahassee to
take on Floirda High (17-5-
2) on Thursday in the open-
ing round at 6 p.m.
The Walton girls soc-
cer team wrapped up a
rough season with a 3-0
loss to Chipley in the open-
ing round of the District 1,
Class 3A playoffs last week
in Chipley.
Former Walton basket-
ball player Darryl McGhee
is in his junior year at the
University of West Florida.


McGhee has led the Argos in
rebounds six times this sea-
son while recording a dou-
ble-double (18 points and
10 rebounds) in a 67-54 win
against Tampa on Novem-
ber 28. He scored 18 points
against Flagler at the Mon-
tevallo Classic and put up
14 points in a 102-34 blow-
out over Temple Baptist on
December 16. McGhee has
started 10 of the squad's
18 games this season and
is averaging 6.4 points per
game.

It appears that Wewa-
hitchka's Samantha Rich
has thrown her last pitch
for the .Lady Gators. Rich,
a senior, injured her right
throwing shoulder last week
while playing volleyball in.
physical education class.
She underwent arthroscopic
surgery late last week where
a doctor found fairly exten-
sive damage to her throwing
shoulder, which included a
torn labrum. The injury is
a huge blow to the two-time
defending state Class 2A
champion, though Rich may
be able to return to the team
later this season, pitching
will likely not be on the


menu. On the mound, Rich
led the Lady Gators to two
titles, earning all-state hon-
ors as well as being named
the Class 2A Player of the
Year. Rich was 56-6 for her
high school career, includ-
ing 20-2 last year after shar-
ing pitching duties her first
two seasons. She has lost to
just one Class 2A team in
her high school career. She
also has hit over .400 with
more than 100 RBIs, 52 as
a freshman, and 26 home
runs, a school career re-
cord. The Lady Gators have
reached the state Final Four
in each of her three seasons,
.losing in the semifinals her
freshman year before break-
ing through with consecu-
tive titles. Wewahitchka
has the smallest enrollment
in Class 2A. Rich signed an
NCAA Division I .scholar-
ship with Jacksonville State
University in 2008, but the
extent of the damage and
the results of rehabilitation
will dictate whether Rich
pitches at the next'level or
not.
Gulf Coast Community
College softball signed two
players for the 2010 season
this month, Mosley's Betha-


ny Wilke signed a letter of
intent last week with Port
St. Joe pitcher Kayla Min-
ger signing in mid-January
on the first day of the na-
tional signing period for ju-
nior college softball. Minger,
who has also played short-
stop, first base and the out-
field, also is a danger with
the bat, hitting .427 for her
career, with 63 RBIs and 10
home runs.

Auburn's Clinton Durst
said last week he was prom-
ised a scholarship by for-
mer coach Tommy Tuber-
ville's staff, but those plans
changed after Gene Chizik
was hired. Chizik said Durst
might earn a scholarship in
the summer, something that
didn't sit well with the Des-
tin native. Durst believes
he deserves a scholarship
after his performance this
past year. The walk-on was
third in the SEC and 26th
nationally in punting, aver-
aging more than 42 yards a
kick. He said he will remain
at Auburn as a student but
has to work so he can afford
classes, so apparently he
will not be back next season,
at least at Auburn, unless


something changes soon.
University of Alabama
head men's basketball coach
Mark Gottfried resigned on
Monday. Crimson Tide as-
sistant coach Philip Pear-
son will assume the role of
interim head coach for the
remainder of the season.
Gottfried was named head
coach at Alabama on March
25, 1998, and compiled a
record of 210-131 (.616 win-
ning percentage) with the
Crimson Tide, including
a mark of 83-82 in South-
eastern Conference (SEC)
games, winning one SEC
regular season champion-
ship and leading the team
to five NCAA Tournament
appearances. He joined the
Crimson Tide after three'
seasons as head coach at
Murray State where he com-
piled a record of 68-24 while
leading the Racers to three
Ohio Valley, Conference
championships (1995, 1996,
and 1997) and three NCAA
Tournament appearances.
Gottfried's career record
stands at 278-155 for a win-
ning percentage of .642 in
14 seasons as a college head
coach. Gottfried, a 1987
Alabama graduate, played


guard for the Crimson Tide'
for three seasons (1984-85;
1985-86, and 1986-87) while
starting 98 consecutive
games for then-head coach,
Wimp Sanderson after start-
ing his college career at Oral
Roberts University (1982-83
season).

THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, JANUARY 29,2009

GWRRA holds monthly meeting


GWRRA MEMBERS PREPARE TO DEPART from McLain's Family Restaurant post-
meeting. (Photo by Jeffrey Powell)


By JEFFREY POWELL
The Gold Wing Road Rid-
ers Association (GWRRA)
was formed in 1977 and has
grown to more than 80,000
United States, Canadian
and international members
in 53 foreign countries. Cur-
rently, 800 active chapters
are managed by 4,000 vol-
unteer leaders. The organi-
zation was formed as a safe-
ty-minded group for those
who ride Honda Gold Wing/
Valkyrie motorcycles. Ac-
cording to the group's sourc-
es, the GWRRA is the world's


largest single marque social
organization for owners and
riders of Honda Gold Wing
motorcycles. Their motto is
"Friends for Fun, Safety and
Knowledge."
Locally GWRRA Chap-
ter FL1-0 recently relocated
from Crestview to Defuniak
Springs with the goal of in-
creasing membership and
providing a chapter for mem-
bers in the counties immedi-
ately east of Walton County.
The group holds monthly
meetings at McLain's Fam-
ily Restaurant and recently
held their January meeting.-
"Anyone interested in
riding a motorcycle safely is
welcome at our meetings,"
said Chapter Co-Director
Wesley Davis. "We get to-
gether to be together with
the common thread of rid-
ing motorcycles. You do not
have to own a particular
type of motorcycle, this is
about friendship."
As Davis points out, rid-


ers of any brand of motorcy-
cle are welcome. The group
is primarily concerned with
an alcohol-free, non-politi-
cal, non-religious experience
with safe riding techniques
as a priority.
"We want people to learn
to ride safely," said FL1-
0 Rider Educator William
Saucier. "We help riders
with protective equipment,
train them in first aid pro-
cedures, and provide CPR
instruction."
The group is also involved
in charitable endeavors and
recently aligned themselves
with the Allen Rescue Foun-
dation (ARF) which is a no-
kill animal shelter located
east of Defuniak Springs.
A yard sale to be held in
the near future will benefit
ARF.
GWRRA FL1-0 holds
their monthly meetings
at McLain's on the fourth
Saturday of the month at 9
a.m.

launched to shepherd the
Sioux and Cheyenne back
to the reservation. The first
prong, under General John
Gibbon, marched east from
Fort Ellis, near present-day
Bozeman, Montana. The
second prong, led by' Gen-
eral Alfred Terry (including
Custer) headed wes"t from
Fort Abrahain Lincoln near
Bismark, North Dakota.
The third prong consisted of
General George Crook's men
moving north from Wyo-
ming into Montana, Tugh
-Terry and Gibbon did not'
know it, Crook encountered
the Indians near the Rose-
bud Creek in southern Mon-
tana, and was defeated by
them about a week before
Custer's battle. After this,
his force withdrew to Wyo-
mhing, breaking one side of
the triangle, which changed
everything.
On the morning of the
June 25, the 7th Cavalry
was at the divide between
the Rosebud and the Little
Bighorn Rivers. From a spot
known as the Crow's Nest,
they observed a large Indian
camp.
WorriedtheIndians might
escape, Custer decided to at-
tack. He rode into the valley
of the Little Bighorn. At the
Crow's Nest, Captain Fred-
erick Benteen was ordered
to travel to the southwest
with three companies to
block a possible southern es-


cape route. A few miles from
the Little Bighorn, Custer
again divided his command,
as Major Marcus Reno was
ordered to take three com-
panies along the river bot-
tom and attack the Indian
village on its southern end.
The remaining five compa-
nies. would follow Custer in
support of Reno.
Custer, in the meantime,
followed the top of the ridge.
.Spotting the Sioux village
about fifteen miles away
along the Rosebud River on
June 25, Custer also found a
nearby group of about forty
warriors. Ignoring orders
to wait, he decided to at-
tack before they could alert
the main party. He did not
realize that the number
of warriors in the -village
numbered three times his
strength. He sent a
message back to Benteen:
"Benteen, Come on. Big vil-
lage, be quick, bring packs.
P.S. Bring pacs (sic). W.W.
Cooke." The messenger, bu-
gler John Martin, was the
last to see Custer and his
command alive and Custer's,
movements after this are a
point of speculation.
Reno's squadron of 175
soldiers attacked the south-
ern end. Quickly finding
themselves in a desperate
battle with little hope of
any relief, Reno halted his
charging men before they
could be trapped, fought for


ten minutes in dismounted
formation, and then with-
drew into the timber and
brush along the river. When
that position proved inde-
fensible, they retreated up-
hill to the bluffs east of the
river, pursued hotly by a
mix of Cheyenne and Sioux.
Just. as they finished driv-
ing the soldiers out, the
Indians found roughly 210
of Custer's men.coming to-
wards the other end of the
village, taking the pressure
off of Reno's men. Cheyenne
and Hunkpapa Sioux to-
gether crossed the river and
slammed into the advancing
soldiers, forcing them back
to a long high ridge to the
north. Meanwhile, another
force, largely Oglala Sioux
under Crazy Horse's com-
mand, swiftly moved down-
stream and then doubled
back in a sweeping arc,
enveloping Custer and his
men in a pincer move. They
began pouring in gunfire
and arrows.
As the Indians closed in,
Custer ordered his men to
shoot their horses and stack
the carcasses to form a wall,
but they provided little pro-
tection against bullets. In
less than an hour, Custer
and his men were killed in
the worst American mili-
tary disaster ever. Reno
and Benteen's forces were'
pinned down by the Indians
for another day until June


'SI.1- l


ANOTHER PHASE of the archeological work was the excavations, which were centered
on a series of marble markers. The marble markers which dot the battlefield were placed
to commemorate the location where one of Custer's men fell. They were set in place fourteen
years after the battle, and more than nine years after the bodies were disinterred and placed
in a mass grave near where Custer's body was found on Last Stand Hill. (Photo by Ron Kel-
ley)


LOOKING DOWN across the hill, just a few feet from where Custer died, one can see
where his soldiers fell and, in the distance, see partof the national cemetery there. Though
the site where Custer and his men fell is fenced off from the public, the power of the place
cannot be held inside the fence. It is a place of importance for Native Americans and for the
American government. (Photo by Ron Kelley)


27, when the village retreat-
ed. General Terry, joined by
General Gibbon's column,
arrived. For that day and
a half, Reno, Benteen' and
the men fought to keep their
defensive position and won-
dered when Custer would
relieve them. Reno sent two
men to meet the advanc-
ing column, and they found
Terry and Gibbon near the
abandoned Indian village.
Here, a scout brought the
news. Custer and his men
lay dead on a ridge above
the Little Bighorn.
After the battle, the In-
dians came through and
stripped the bodies and mu-
tilated all the uniformed sol-
diers, believing that the soul
of a mutilated body would
be forced to walk the earth
for all eternity and could not
ascend to heaven. Inexplica-
bly, they stripped Custer's
body and cleaned it, but did
not scalp or mutilate it. He
had been wearing buckskins
instead of a blue uniform,
and some believe that the
Indians thought he was' not
a soldier and so, thinking he
was an innocent, left him
alone. Because his hair was
cut short for battle, others
think that he did not have
enough hair to allow for a
very good spalping. Imme-
diately after the battle, the
myth emerged that they left
him alone out of respect for
his fighting ability, but few
participating Indians knew
who he was to have been so
respectful. To this day, no


one knows the real reason.
Outraged over the death
of a popular Civil War hero
on the eve of the Centennial,
the nation demanded and
received harsh retribution.
The Black Hills dispute was
quickly settled by redraw-
ing the boundary lines, plac-
ing the Black Hills outside
the reservation and open to
white settlement. Within a
year, the Sioux nation was
defeated and broken.
There were, of course,
many Indian survivors of
the pitched battle, but until
recently, it was believe that
no one who had been with
Custer survived. However,
as writer Vincent Genovese
discovered, one man did sur-
vive.
In his book, "The Man
Who Survived Custer's Last
Stand," Genovese tells the
carefully documented story
of Billy Heath, 27, a Penn-
sylvania miner who joined
the Army in Cincinnati, on
the run from death threats
in his hometown. Heath
found himself assigned to
the 7th Cavalry as a farrier
(in charge of caring for hors-
es) for Company L.
Army records confirm
that Heath was in the bat-
tle and lists him as having
been killed with the rest
of Custer's men. Through
a series, of unplanned and
unforeseen circumstances,
Heath managed to survive
the horrific battle and later,
lost and alone, was found by
a wagonload of settlers, who


nursed him back to health.
Billy Heath eventually
made it back to Pennsylva-
nia, where he lived another
14 years before' dying of lung
disease, a common malady
among coal miners. Sadly,
as he was technically a de-
serter from the U.S. Army,
he never spoke of the battle
or wrote of his own exploits.
Whatever stories or secrets
he may have had from that
day died with him.
In the spring of 2008, al-
most 132 years after Custer
rode into history, this writer
visited the Little Big Horn,
saw the monuments and
toured the battlefield. Even
after all these years, there is
a stillness across this plain,
a sense of powerful forces at
work. The slope'upon which
Custer made his Last Stand
evokes a feeling of standing
on sacred ground. There is
a solemnness there even to-
day that is as eerie as it is
palpable.
I think it comes from
knowing that on this spot,
not only did Custer and his
men meet their final fate, it
was also the beginning of the
end of the free-roaming In-
dian. Their tribes, their na-
tions, their way of life died
that day, too, and this coun-
try was forever changed and
life here forever altered.

cheological Center, U.S.

Paxton girls top South Walton 38-27


By PATRICK CASEY
The Paxton Bobcats used
a stifling defensive effort
while getting 20 points from
Erin Walker to defeat the
South Walton Seahawks 38-
27 on Friday night.

Paxton held the Sea-
hawks to one basket from
the field in the first half of
play as they led. by a 14-6


margin in a low-scoring 16
minutes of play.
The Seahawks finally got
a little bit of offense going
and they closed within 16-
14 of the Bobcats, only to see
Paxton answer with a run of
their own to take a 24-16
lead into the final quarter of
play.

The Seahawks would get


PAXYTON'S ERIN IVALKER(12) scored 20 points in a de-
fensite contest as the Bobcats beat South Walton on Friday
night 38-27.


PAXTON'S STEVIEDAVIDSON(22), the lone senior on
the team, worked tirelessly from her point guard spot to keep
Paxton ahead of the Seahawks while South Waltoh's Julie
Williamson(13) looked for a chance to make a steal..


PA.XTON'S KRYSTEN CU'CHENS(2.5) is met by South

Paxton boys take down Pensacola Christian


By PATRICK CASEY
The Paxton Bobcats im-
proved to 17-3 on the year
with a 56-43 home victory
over Pensacola Christian
in a non-district contest last
week.
Zack Vickers scored -21
points as Paxton rallied from
a 15-12 first quarter deficit
to surge ahead with a 28-18
halftime lead. Dan Geogh-
agan helped with the offense
as he.scored 17 points in the
contest as his long-range
shooting helped to provide a
perimeter threat to open up
the interior for Vickers and
Demitrius Moore.


Pensacola Christian, who
fell to 10-5 with the loss,
got' 20 points from Mike
Goetsch but could not stop
Paxton, whose relentless
rebounding gave the Bob-
cats several second chances.
Paxton didn't need many.
They hit 22-of-39 shots from
the floor.
Game notes: Paxton holds
a 13-8 lead in the series dat-
ing back to 1992-93. The two
teams have played some wild
games against each other
over the years. Paxton has
scored over 100 points twice
against Pensacola Chris-
tian posting a 105-53 win


on December 4. 2001. and
a 101-100 thriller at Pensa-
cola Christian on November
22, 1994. Jeff Bradley
is in his 11th year as head
coach and is beheved to hold
a 198-102 record after the
Bobcats 59-56 loss to Baker
on Saturday night. Paxton
has wrapped up the top seed
in District 1. Class A and
will host the tournament in
mid-February. Shaq Jack-
son is out of the line-up with
a broken bone in his hand/
wrist that he suffered in the
Freeport game and his sta-
tus for the rest of the season
is yet to be determined.

PAXTON'SDANGEOGH-
AGAN(3) kept a close eye
on Pensacola Christian"s
guards while putting up 17
points in a 56-43 Bobcats
uin on Thursday.


CHEERLEADERS OF ALL AGES were on hand to keep
Paxton's spirits up as the Bobcats dispatched Pensacola
Christian on Thursday.

Residents

attend West

Bay Parkway

kick-off meetings


By DOTTY NIST
Much interest on the part
of the public was revealed
last week when two public
meetings were held to pro-
vide information and receive
input on the proposed West
Bay Parkway.
Hosted by the state De-
partment of Transportation
(DOT), the two "Public Kick-
off Meetings" took place on
Jan. 20 and .Jan. 22, the
first at Rosemary Beach
and the second at Panama
City Beach City Hall. More
than 30 citizens attended
the Rosemary Beach meet-
ing and more than 75 were
present at the meeting in
Panama City Beach. The
forum of both meetings was
open house, with a short
presentation.
The West Bay Parkway is
being proposed by DOT as a
new 24-mile-long roadway
that would connect U.S. 98
in Walton County, east of:
Peach Creek, with SR-77 in
Bay County.
Stated benefits of the
proposal include improve-
ment of mobility and in-
terconnectivity in the two
counties' transportation


network, enhancement of
motorist safety, hurricane
evacuation and emergency
response capabilities, better
access to the new Panama
City-Bay County Interna-
tional Airport, promotion
of economic development,
increase in roadway capac-
ity, and relief of existing
and anticipated congestion,
especially along U.S. 98. It
is anticipated that the pro-
posed road would reduce the
,time of a trip from U.S. 98
in south Walton County to
the new airport by about 15
minutes.
DOT has contracted with
two firms, H.W. Lochner
and PBS&J, who will do a
Project Development and
Environment (PD&E) study
for the proposed roadway.
The consultants are now
two months into their task.
Project manager Hugh Wil-
liams of H.W. Lochner ex-
plained that the project has
been divided into east and
west segments, with a sepa-
rate study for each.
The limits of the project
area for the western seg-
ment (Segment 1) will be
from east of Peach Creek


in Walton County to SR-79
in Bay County. Project lim-
its for the eastern segment
(Segment 2) will be CR-388
between SR-77 and SR-79.
Williams reported that
the question everyone asks
is what will be the align-
ment. of the road. "We just
are not there yet," he said.
He explained that the cor-
ridors will be laid out once,
all necessary information is
gathered, including input
from the public.
Yet to be determined are
the number of lanes for the


roadway, the road design,
whether it will be limited
access or controlled access,
and whether or not it will
be a toll road. Williams said
the option of not building
the road will also be evalu-
ated.
For Segment 1, various
alignment alternatives are
to be considered. The align-
ment for Segment 2 will be
along or in the vicinity of
CR-388 as the county road
currently exists. Alterna-
tives for improvements to
CR-388 will be considered,


along with alternatives for
new alignment of the road's
intersections with SR-77
and SR-79.
The study for Segment 1
is scheduled for completion
in winter 2012; the comple-
tion of the study for Seg-
ment 2 is scheduled' for fall
2010.
No information on the
cost of the study was pre-
sented. However, in a July
24, 2008, letter from James
T. Barfield of DOT to Walton

Human remains found in south Walton County


Walton County Sheriff
Michael Adkinson, upon
taking office, asked his staff
to review outstanding and
pending cases. One case
in particular dealt with
the disappearance of Colin
Hale, 82, an Alzheimer's pa-
tient and retirement home
resident missing since last
July. On Jan. 24, investiga-


tors found human remains
that may answer questions
in that case.
A cooperative effort was
mounted on Jan. 24, involv-
ing Sgt. Cheri Rivers, Inves-
tigator Donna Armstrong
and Crime Prevention Coor-
dinator Anna LaCour.
The following assisted
the WCSO in the endeav-


or: Southwest Panhandle
Search and .Rescue K-9 /
Emotional First Aid Team
from Cantonment, FL. and
Foley, AL. Also assisting
was Klaas Kids SAR, Es-
cambia SAR, Southeast K-9
SAR and Gulf County Sher-
iffs Office.
Human Remains Detec-
tion K-9s, specially trained


to detect only human re-
mains, were used. A short
time after the search began,
human remains were dis-
covered in a heavy wooded
and swampy area, approxi-
mately 100 yards south of
where the missing person
had been last seen.
Although confirmed posi-
tive identification is pend-


ing, the remains are be-
lieved to be those of Hale,
the man missing from Crys-
tal Bay senior living facil-
ity in Sandestin since July
3, 2008. The remains were
sent to the Medical Exam-
iner's office for further ex-
amination.

can confuse or disorient


hatchlings, drawing them

Disorientation from arti-

result in the death of thou-

this problem, 19 coastal
counties in Florida and more

since the mid-1990s or be-

county to set up "displays

public aware of the need to
protect marine animals, in-
cluding sea turtles and their
nests through, among other
measures, "waterfront light-
ing which does not distract
hatchlings away from the
ocean..." The comprehen-


sive plan also mandates the
adoption by the county of "a
sea turtle nesting protection
ordinance."
Since 2005, Walton Coun-
ty's efforts have strength-
ened to adopt a "Wildlife
Conservation Zone Ordi-

standards to protect sea
turtles and other native
species. The proposed ordi-
nance has been encouraged
by state and federal regu-
latory agencies as part of a
Habitat Conservation Plan,

the county's application for
an Incidental Take Permit

CDLAB discusses docks, Deer Lake State Park


By LEAH STRATMANN

The first meeting of the
year for the Coastal Dune
Lakes Advisory Board (CD-
LAB) featured a short agen-
da, but ambitious plans for
the coming year.


The board went through
a draft of the dock ordi-
nance prepared by the plan-
ning commission and agreed
the ordinance needed more
study. In order to do that ef-
fectively, a committee was
formed to include Marsha


Andierson, chairman of CD-
LAB, county planner Antho-
ny Austerman, Sarah Kal-
inoski of the Choctawatchee
Basin Alliance (CBA), and
board member Richard Bry-
an. The group will report
proposed changes and then

SHOOTING THE BREEZE


It's strange how one's
perception of self is often
slapped with reality: For in-
stance, I think of myself as
a shoot from the lip kind of
woman a trait that can
be both liberating and hu-
miliating if said lip shoot-
ing has not been thought
through or the audience
fully vetted.
. I'm not easily moved to.
tears either even as my
years advance something
society has conditioned me to
expect. So it was with some
surprise last week when I
found myself crying while
driving home when the. Rev.
Rick Warren was giving the
invocation at the inaugura-
tion of our new president.
Everything I had ever heard
about Warren suggested
his views and mine were
widely divergent, yet there
he was calling for unity and
above all calling for under-


with Leah Stratmann
standing of those who might
think or act differently from
your own circle of friends
and relations. This was far
different from the gay bash-
ing, pro-life crusader much
of the media makes of him,
so I did a bit of research.
While it is true the man
considers himself an evan-
gelical -- with all of the
negative connotations that
word inspires in liberals -
it would appear he is much
more than that. He leads
an enormous congregation
and would typically be con-
sidered quite wealthy. How-
ever, rather than tithe 10
percent, he keeps 10 percent
and gives away 90 percent to
causes such as global eradi-
cation of HIV/AIDS, global
literacy, the elimination of
global poverty and disease,
and despite derision from
fellow 'evangelicals, has
vowed to fight global climate

change. I'm sure he is living
quite well on the 10 per-
cent, but give the man his
due he does not appear to
be entirely full of himself as
are so many spiritual lead-
ers who are elevated to near
rock-star status.
So he espouses creation-
ism over evolution. So what?
He has as much right to be-
lieve his version as ariybody
and really, what does it mat-
ter? We are here. /
Also noteworthy last week
was another former high-
profile evangelical named
Ted Haggard. In 2006 when
it was revealed he not only
used illegal drugs but for
years also hired the same
male prostitute on a regular
basis, he was tossed out of
the mega-church he found-
ed in Colorado. His former
colleagues did not try to
console, embrace, or under-
stand him; they condemned
him in a most un-Christian
way.
According to "The Week,"
a compendium of U.S. and
international media, Hag-
gard said the incident al-
tered his views on religion
and the culture wars. "I now
know more about hatred and
judgment than ever before,
and I know it doesn't help,"
he said. Amen to that.
Now a real estate sales-
man (this guy can't catch a
break!) he is still married
and says his marriage is
stronger than ever, but that
"sexuality is complex and
confusing" and he is still
tempted from time to time.
With his new understanding
of life's complexities, he no
longer opposes gay marriage
and has learned praying did
not make his attraction to
men disappear. Hallelujah
Ted.
Prayer is a powerful tool,
but if it could turn a gay
person straight, it could also
make me a size six if I was
pious enough and somehow
I don't see that happening.
In the end, acceptance
and the embracing of our
differences will make us so
much stronger as people, as
communities, and as a na-
tion. It is a new year, with a
new president, and, I hope,
a commitment from all of
us to move forward with the
goal of making things better
for each of us whether we
came from monkeys or the
hand of God.

Brooke Saari, a marine

the prototype to the next

subject of the slated closing

In an e-mail she said, "Go-

dune lakes.
"SWCC discussed this is-
sue in December and we will
be working on it again in our
regular executive meeting. I
offered to help CDLAB with
their efforts to keep the park
open. Deer Lake is a mar-
velous mix of woods, lake,
nature trails and unspoiled
beach. It doesn't have its
own ranger but uses the one
from Grayton Beach part
time. There is a major dis-
crepancy in costs the state
claims for operating this-
park as they have $5,700
plus budgeted for expenses,
and then they charge Deer
Lake the full $39,000 for the
ranger at Grayton Beach
who hardly ever steps foot
at Deer Lake. There are no
entrance fees and no kiosk
where guests can register
that they were there. So it
is very unreasonable that


the state claims low usage
and lack of any income as
reasons for closing it," she
wrote. '"While SWCC is very
concerned about the closing
and is thinking about mak-
ing some effort to prevent it,
I think CDLAB has better
'standing' to work on it, es-
pecially since they are to ad-
vise the county on the dune
lakes."
CDLAB board members
voted unanimously to ap-
-proach the county about
taking over Deer Lake State
Park if the state agrees. "We
don't want to lose the beach
access," Anderson said, "and
there should be no cost in-
volved except for garbage
pick-up. We don't want it
turned over for possible

Important Information about

your Drinking Water.


Monitoring Requirements Not Met for South Walton Utility Company

We are required to monitor your drinking water for total coliform
bacteria on a regular basis.. Results of regular monitoring are an
indicator of whether or not our drinking water meets health standards.
On December 3, 2008, one location within our distribution system
indicated the presence of total coliform bacteria. Repeat samples are
to be collected within 24 hours to verify any positive bacteriological
sample. Due to a procedural error, the South Walton Utility Company
water system collected only two of the required three repeat samples;
however, these samples were absent of coliform bacteria.

What should you do?

There is nothing you need to do at this time. Total coliform bacteria
are generally not harmful themselves. Coliforms are bacteria that are
naturally present in the environment and are used as an indicator that
other, potentially harmful, bacteria may be present.

What happened? What is being done?

South Walton Utility Company routinely monitors thirty (30)
locations throughout our distribution system on a monthly basis. One
of these samples tested positive for total coliform. Rules require that
we take three repeat samples in the vicinity of the positive
sample...we only took two repeat samples. Both repeat samples tested
satisfactory. Our error was in sampling procedure. The quality of our
drinking water was not jeopardized.

We have taken steps to formalize our monitoring procedures and the
importance of following State of Florida rules in all of our water
system operations. Proper sampling procedures have been reviewed in
order to avoid monitoring and reporting violations in the future.

FWC to meet in Sandestin Feb. 4-5


The Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Com-
mission (FWC) will meet
at the Sandestin Golf and
Beach Resort in Sandestin
Feb. 4-5.
On Feb. 4 (Wednesday),
the commission will open the
meeting with a recognition
and an award. Ed Moyer,
who retired from the FWC
in 2008, will be recognized
for his 35'years of service to
the agency.
The Wildlife Foundation
of Florida will present the
Louise Ireland Humphrey
Achievement Award tod Car-
ol Knox, the FWC's Manatee
Program administrator.
Florida's quota hunt sys-
tem will see changes dur-
ing the 2009-2010 hunting
season if the commission
passes new rules on Feb. 4.
The proposed rules would
make quota hunt permits
nontransferable, but would
allow a guest permit for ar-
chery, muzzleloading gun,
general gun, wild hog, mo-
bility-impaired and spring
turkey hunts. Staff also will
propose changes for bag lim-
its and regulations on vari-
ous wildlife management
areas.
The commission will also
hear proposed. draft rules
on public hunting on South
Florida Water Management
District lands within the
Kissimmee Chain of Lakes
and Babcock Ranch Pre-
serve, which will establish
season dates and area-spe-
cific regulations.
On Feb. 5 (Thursday),
the commission will address
marine fisheries issues. A
final public hearing will be
held on a proposed rule that
would establish a June 1
- Sept. 30 recreational red
snapper harvest season in
Gulf of Mexico state waters.
This proposed action would
be consistent with the red
snapper closed season in
Gulf federal waters.
A final public hearing
also will be held on proposed
rules that would regulate
the number of traps used
in the lobster fishery. Com-
mercial lobster trap fisher-
men would still be able to
fish with the same number
of traps they use now. How-
ever, if they decide to sell
or transfer the FWC-issued
certificates that authorize
their traps to someone out-
side their immediate family,
the proposed rules would
allow sale or transfer of all
but 10 percent of those cer-
tificates. That would help


reduce the overall number
of traps in the lobster fish-
ery. *
Another final public
hearing will take place on
proposed rules that would
add new fish and inverte-
brate species to marine life
(aquarium species) regula-
tions, establish 'or...change
size and bag limits and
gear specifications for sev-
eral marine life species, and
make other administrative
and technical marine life
rule changes.
The FWC also will hold
a final public hearing on a
proposed rule that would
help efforts to identify and
remove lost and abandoned
blue crab traps from Florida
waters. The rule would es-.
tablish six regional closed
seasons to the harvest of
blue crabs with traps. That
would provide opportuni-
ties for authorized persons
and groups to clean up trap
debris left in the water af-
ter fishermen remove their
working traps during the
proposed closed seasons.
In other marine fisheries


action, commissioners will
consider a draft rule that
would establish administra-
tive penalties for blue crab
management program vio-
lations, review and discuss
management of flounder
and various federal /fisher-
ies management issues, and
.takefinal action n proposed
rules regarding marine spe-
cial activity licenses.
The meeting will convene
at 8:30 a.m. on both days.
FWC meetings are open to
the public, and anyone re-
quiring special accommoda-
tions to participate in the
meeting should advise the
FWC at least five days prior
to Feb. 4 by contacting the
FWC's Office of Human Re-
sources at (850) 488-6411.
Hearing- or speech-im-
paired persons may contact
the FWC using the Florida
Relay Service at 800-955-
8771 (TDD) or 800-955-8770
(voice).

Both Federal and Confederate troops oc-
cupied the grounds of Eden Gardens State
Park for a two-day encampment and skir-
mish demonstration on Jan. 24 and 25.
Members of the 1st Florida Infantry Regi-
ment and 7th Vermont Infantry Regiment
were joined by the North Florida Artillery
from Tallahassee for the event. The two-
day encampment demonstrated how Civil
War soldiers, as well as civilians of the pe-
riod, lived through the difficult times of a
war-torn nation.
Visitors to the weekend event were able
to see the soldiers discharge a 3-inch ordi-
nance rifle (cannon), attend a ladies' tea
and witness a small skirmish. There was
also a United States/Confederate States
flag presentation and medical demonstra-
tion. The festivities were sponsored by
the park service and supported by The
Friends of Eden.
"We are thrilled to have this group of
re-enactors at Eden Gardens State Park,"
said Friends of Eden Chairman of Special
Events Maryjo Morris. "Their knowledge
of the period is outstanding and we are
particularly happy with the public turn-
out."
The weekend event was the 16th an-
nual for the park and plans are already
underway for next year's festivities.
"I am totally overwhelmed by the pub-
lic's response, the Eden staff and my fel-
low participants" said re-enactor Jim Bus-
by. "I hope I am able to attend next year's
event."

SWCMCD holds first meeting of 2009


By LEAH STRATMANN

At the first meeting of
the South Walton County
Mosquito Control District
(SWCMCD), chairman John
Magee announced the ap-
pointment of Bob Hudson
to fill the vacancy created
by the removal of Charlie
Burke. Hudson will fill out
the remaining two years on
Burke's term.
SWCMCD director Ste-
phen Sickerman then swore
in both Magee and Jim
Crawford for four more
years as board members,


both having prevailed at the
ballot box in November.
Citizen Doug Lyles ad-
dressed the board with an
issue about a mosquito con-
trol ,ditch on his property in
south Walton. He asked the
SWCMCD to install rock to
prevent further erosion of
his property into Choctaw-
hatchee Bay. At some point
he wants to have the ditch
moved and install culverts
in the existing seawall.
"The storm water is pol-
luting the bay. The bottom
line is the ditch contains
county storm water and


chunks of my property are
falling into the bay," Lyles
said.
Magee asked Lyles if the
ditch was always wet. "To
change the ditch the proper-
ty owner would have to put
in a retention basin which
would envelop a lot of. his
property. .The area where
I have a concern is putting
in a retainer wall when you
are going across the ditch
area. Then you are creating
a dam," he said.
Sickerman noted the dis-
trict could help to put in cul-
verts if Lyles has the proper


permits from the Florida De-
partment of Environmental
Protection (FDEP). Craw-
ford volunteered to go to the
property for an evaluation
and to see if there was any-
thing the district could do to
help and report back at the
next meeting.
"The negative side of what
we are doing is spending
taxpayer money. We have
not budgeted for it. We may
be able to put in rocks, but
not the culverts. If we start
culverts, FDEP approval is
needed. It is going to take
you a long time before you


can do anything," Magee in-
formed Lyles.
Lyles noted the county
would not allow him to build
on the property because of
the ditch and county set-
backs. "It is scary when it
rains out there," Lyles said.
Magee summed up the
discussion saying, "If we can
legally help you, we will."
Attorney Lori Bytell
reported the decision by
the board to add two addi-
tional members requires a
resolution from the Walton
County Board of County
Commissioners (BCC). By-


tell expects to have BCC ap-
proval by Jan. 27 and then
to complete the process with
the state. "The deadline for
submitting the package to
the state is March 3," By-
tell noted. She said failure
to meet the deadlines would
result in having to wait a
year.
Proposals were received
from seven law firms to rep-
resent SWCMCD. Attorney
Bytell did not submit a bid
but assured the board she
will remain on board until
all unfinished business be-
gun by her is complete.


Wynton Marsalis and Jazz at Lincoln


Center Orchestra Jazz up Jacksonville


By BRUCE COLLIER

The Jazz at Lincoln Cen-
ter Orchestra (JLCO) and
its director, trumpeter Wyn-
ton Marsalis, performed last
Saturday at the University
of North Florida's (UNF)
Fine Arts Center. The JLCO
played to a sold-out audi-'
ence in the Lazzara Per-
formance Hall on the UNF
campus in Jacksonville. The
15-member orchestra is led
by Marsalis, and features
Sean Jones, Ryan Kisor and
Marcus Printup on trumpet,
Vincent R. Gardner, Elliot
Mason and Chris Crenshaw
on trombone, Sherman Irby,
Ted Nash, Walter Blanding,
Victor Goines and Paul Ned-
zela- on assorted sax, reeds
and flute, Dan Nimmer, on
piano, Carlos Henriquez on
bass, and Ali Jackson Jr. on
drums.
The JLCO, which just be-
gan a tour, plays a varied
program, "to be announced
from the stage." The tour
continues through January,


February and March, .cover-
ing south Florida, Georgia,
and dates in the Southeast
and Midwest before swing-
ing back toward its home
in New York. In April, he
JLCO will also play the New
Orleans Jazz and Heritage
festival in Marsalis' home
town.
The musicians, dressed
alike in dark Brooks Broth-
ers suits and ties, strolled
onto the stage, which was
minimally set with chairs,
stands and scores. Marsa-
lis sat in the third row, in
the back, positioned near
enough to Jackson to be able
to confer with his rhythm
section. Marsalis remained
seated through most of the
concert, introducing per-
sonnel and program piec-
es. Over the course of the
evening, -every member of
-the orchestra had an op-
portunity to solo, including
Marsalis, who nevertheless
did not make the evening all
about himself. It was truly
a cooperative effort, and a


perfect example of individu-
alistic collaboration. Most of
the program selections had
been arranged by members
of the JLCO.
Marsalis began the eve-
ning by telling the audience
that the essence of jazz is,
"being yourself," quoting
jazz composer Thelonius
Monk's definition of genius
as "the one who is most
himself." The soft-spoken
trumpeter entertained the
audience with well-timed
observations throughout
the performance, showing a
cool, dry wit and making off-
mike comments on the play-
ing, to the amusement of his
colleagues.
The players could be seen
joking, whispering, clapping,
and cheering on soloists as
they played. They seemed to
be getting as much fun out
of the 10 pieces played as
did anyone in the audience.
The first half of the pro-
gram featured Marsalis' ar-
rangement of "Appointment
in Ghana" by saxman Jack-

'ALL MEETINGS ARE SCHEDULED FOR 6 P.M. AT THE SW ANNEX


ie McLean, Monk's "Light
Blue," arranged by Gardner,
Marsalis' own arrangements
of "La Cucaracha" and "Itsy
Bitsy Spider," and Nash's
arrangement of Joe Hen-
derson's "Inner Urge." Each
piece offered ample opportu-
nities for soloing. The other
players applauded, shouting
encouragement and praise
when a soloist tore through
a particularly hot passage.
Marsalis' expression would
frequently settle into deep
concentration; at times he
looked like a chef savoring
a particularly tasty combi-
nation of ingredients. Af-
ter each player finished his
respective solo, Marsalis
lavished credit and compli-
ments over him, inviting the
audience's appreciation.
In the second half,
Marsalis showcased trum-
peter Marcus Printup, who
had studied music at UNF.
Announcing that it was
Printup's birthday, Marsa-
lis gestured offstage to two
stagehands, who carried on
a large cake with candles
for Printup to blow out. As
the trumpeter walked to the
cake, the band broke into
a jazzy version 'of "Happy
Birthday," allowing Printup


to finish up with a lick of
his own. Printup also got a
featured spot, romantically
rendering Duke Ellington's
"Sentimental Mood," to the
audible delight of the old-
timers in the crowd.
The rest of the second set
featured Printup's "Portrait
in Seven Shades: Dali," a
musical "picture" of the sur-
realist artist arranged by
Nash, Monk's "Bye-Ya," ar-
ranged by Henriquez, and
ended with "Movement XII,"
from Marsalis' composition,
"Vitoria Suite."
Introducing the last piece,
Marsalis told the audience,
"You all have been good, so
we won't make you listen to
the first 11 movements." As
in the first half, there were,
more solos, showcasing
Goines on sax, Henriquez

with a fiery display of light-
ning finger-work. Marsalis
gave the audience what it
wanted in "Movement XII,"
throwing away the cool and
showing in his solo how to
take home nine Grammys
in both jazz and classical
categories.
As the JLCO walked off-
stage after the last piece,
the crowd stood and ap-
plauded until Marsalis re-
turned, standing in front
of a mike with a plunger
mute, gently playing his en-
core, "Blues in G." The other
members drifted out behind
him. playing a little. Mostly
they listened, nodded, and,
like everyone else, just let it
flow over them.

THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, JANUARY 29,2009


The secret to writing (and


life) with author David Magee


By ASHLEYAMASON
"You're lucky I show-
ered for you," David Magee
laughs, "most days I don't
shower until the end of the
day." Thanks, Dave. It's tru-
ly appreciated.
As we walk into Great
Southern restaurant in Sea-
side, where Magee is part
of the Artists in Residence
program, his laid-back at-
titude is evidenced by his
plain orange t-shirt, shorts,
. and flip-flops. In casual at-
tire and sunglasses, Magee
flies under the radar. Our
waitress wouldn't suspect
my lunch-date is a nine-time
published author, Harvard
Business Review must-read,
founder and owner of Jeffer-
son Press, as well as owner
of Rock Point Books.
But don't let his noncha-
lant attitude and appear-
ance fool you.
Magee is a bulldog when
it matters. By 23, he be-
came editor of the Oxford,
Mississippi Eagle. Soon, he
jumped ship to advertising,
and became vice president
of the Godwin Group, an
advertising agency known
for building legendary
brands such as Piccadilly,
St. Joe Properties (origi-
nator of Walton County's


very own Watercolor), and
Louisville Slugger. Magee's
relationship with the lat-
ter facilitated his upcoming
book "The Sweet Spot: 125
Years of Louisville Slugger
and Baseball" due out May
2009.
Magee says working in
advertising was great, but
he felt a constant need to
free himself to write full-
time.
An award-winning col-
umnist for the Chattanooga
Times Frees, Magee de-
clares his experience there
was "critical because, as a
columnist, I learned a freer
form of writing than I got
with just writing news sto-
ries. I also discovered some
things about myself and
people along the way, so
that had everything to do
with me wanting to write for
a living later."
It's when discussing writ-
ing that Magee's tenacity
shows itself. He leans across
the table and lowers his
voice, to a whisper as if he's
going to tell me the secret
of life (which he may have),
"Do what you know, what
you love. Then ask, 'how
good is this?'"
Magee admits writers
don't always get to write


what they love in the be-
ginning. He recalls think-
ing his memoir would be
his literary calling. Instead,
capturing the true stories of
Nissan, Toyota, GE, Moon-
pie, Louisville Slugger, and
other signature brands have
become Magee's tour de
force. On making this brand
of nonfiction an easy read,
Magee says "It's sometimes
hard to make the complex
simple, but I find it's very
valuable."
Now working on "The
Education of Mr. Mayfield,"
the true story of a black folk
artist hired as janitor of the
Ole Miss art department in
1950s so he could be taught
art, Magee writes 10 pages
every day, although he ad-
mits the idea isn't his, but
'It'-man Stephen King's. "If
it works for him, it's good for
me" he laughs.
Stephen King isn't the
only author Magee gets ad-
vice from he was friends
with John Grisham before
he ever penned his first legal
thriller. "[Grisham] is the
last person I ever thought
would become a writer," he
recalled.
However, he notes the ad-
vice Grisham gave him, one
author to another, "You've


got to find what works for
you. You can't be me, be-
cause I'm me"-advice Ma-
gee passes onto aspiring
writers.
"It's a decision: I'm a
writer, I'm going to write,"
Magee claims. He gave the
same concise-but-pointed
advice to a group of writers
last weekend at his publish-
ing workshop in Redfish
Village. He jokes, "getting
published is completely at-
tainable and completely im-
possible."
In the publishing work-
shop, Magee advised writers
to email, never mail, brief,
concise query letters, and
write to the literary agent
as if you know each other.
It may sound a bit unusual,
but Magee clarifies, "Some
things you just know you're
good at, well I'm good at
[writing query letters.]" If
the fact that want-to-be pub-
lished authors hire Magee
to write their query letters
isn't proof enough, his nine
published books and several
more under contract are.
-"This gets into your blood,

taking complex subjects and
boiling them down for read-
ers."
It's rare to meet such an
accomplished individual so
unimpressed by the weight
of his own success. Like
characters in a book, life is
full of people we love to hate
and love to love. Magee is
without doubt the latter,
a talent so charming and
blissfully unaware of him-
self that he flies under the


radar in his orange t-shirt
and flip flops.
"Everybody I know who is
a writer, from John Grisham
to the late Larry Brown,
people I knew when I lived
in Oxford, MS., were not a
writer, before they became
one. So, I knew it could be
done. Now, I just work as
hard as I can to not let it
get away from me, because
I could not imagine doing
anything else."

By BRUCE COLLIER

Edward Zwick's "Defi-
ance" is yet another World
War II film illuminating' a
heretofore neglected corner
of that, cataclysmic event.
Last December brought us
"Valkyrie," a true-life story
of a failed plot to assassinate
Hitler in 1944. "Defiance" is
set in 1941 (before the U.S.
entered the war, and during
Germany's invasion of Rus-
sia), and is a remarkable ac-
count of survival, resistance,
and faith in the teeth of cer-
tain destruction. "Valkyrie"
had the taut, tightly-shot
look of a noir thriller. "De-
fiance" goes for more of an
epic sweep, capturing the
ebb and flow of the early
days in what would become
"the Russian Front," a syn-
onym for certain death to
German soldiers.
There's death, plenty of
it. German SS troopers, col-
laborating with local Rus-
sian police and militia, Are
rounding up Belorussian
Jews. They sweep the city-,
dwellers into ghettos and
summarily shoot those in
the country. One family they
hit is the Bielskis mother,
father, and four sons.
The eldest' sons are Tu-
via (Daniel Craig) and Zus'
(Liev Schreiber), a quarrel-
some pair who occasionally
smuggle to make ends meet.
Tuvia and Zus come home to
find their parents murdered
and their little brother Aron
hiding in the cellar. The
fourth brother Asael (Jamie
Bell) joins them and they
take to the deep woods. The
film was shot in Lithuania,
apparently a heavily-forest-
ed part of the world. Zwick
makes the woods into almost


another character one that
offers both safe harbor and
mortal danger.
The brothers are com-
petent woodsmen, but the
need for food and weapons
draws them into contact'
with their neighbors both
Jew and gentile alike. Word
comes that both brothers'
wives have been execut-
ed, along with Zus' child.
Learning the identities of
their parents' killers, they
take vengeance. Their repu-
tations spread, arid fugitive
Jews from area farms and
cities begin finding their
way to the Bielskis' camp.
A decision is made to form
a "forest community," serv-
ing as a haven for displaced
Jews and as a partisan force
against the Germans. This
involves not only fighting
the SS, but also food-gath-
ering and earning the trust
and respect of the Russian
partisans, who fight the
Germans but share their
contempt for Jews. A quar-
rel causes Zus to split off
and join a Russian guerilla
group, while Tuvia. takes
charge of a camp largely
made up of old men, women,
and youngsters. Neither
Tuvia nor Zus are educated
men or trained soldiers, but
both are natural leaders.
"Defiance" is based on a
book by Nechama Tec, and
is based on interviews with
members of the Bielski com-
munity. How much of the
film is fact and how much is
fictionalized, I don't know.
It's a harrowing story of
freezing cold, short rations,
disease, and constant uncer-
tainty. Every time the com-
munity seems to have found
a safe spot to settle, there's
a reason to up and leave -


usually at high speed.
If you have any knowl-
edge of the book of Exodus
or the founding of modern
Israel, you'll get the double-
headed metaphors strewn
Throughout. "Defiance." Isra-
elites or Israelis, the stories
are similar. A mixed bag of
classes,j from country people
to townfolk, stumbles and
fights through a ghastly wil-
derness, led by priests and
warriors, arguing with God
and each other every step of
the way.
Schreiber and Craig are
appropriately brooding,
ill-tempered and passion-
ate, as only a pair of Rus-
sian Jewish brothers can
be. Their humor is black as
night' and their impatience
with "pretentious Jews" -
their term for the snobbish
urbanites who don't know a
hammer from a nail bare-
ly contained. Some of the
film's best moments come
from their exchanges. Allan
Corduner turns in a memo-
rable performance as a rabbi
whose anguished prayer at a
funeral, begging God to take
away his people's holiness
and choose someone else, is
both wry and heartbreak-
ing. Other good work comes
from Mark Feuerstein as
an intellectual struggling
to keep his humanity, Ravil
Isyanov as a Russian par-
tisan forced to respect his
Jewish comrades, and Iben
Hjejle as a down-to-earth
woman yearning to fill the
void in Zus' heart.
Unlike most World War
II films involving the per-
secution of the Jews, "Defi-
ance" has a hopeful thread
woven through it. Nobody
told these people they had to
go quietly, and they don't.


FWC probing bald eagle slaying


The Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Com-
mission (FWC) is appealing
to the public for information
about a bald eagle found
dead Wednesday afternoon
in a burrow pit in the Apala-
chicola National Forest.

FWC Law Enforcement
Officer Charlie Mallow
found the immature eagle
in a pit off Forest Road 13 in


Wakulla County. Someone
with a rifle apparently shot
the bird once.

"At this point, we don't
know if the eagle was shot
there or somewhere else and
dumped in the pit," said in-
vestigator Charlie Chafin.
"Officers have spoken to one
person who was at the bor-
row pit Tuesday'afternoon,
and he advised the bird


wasn't there."
Both the FWC, through
the Wildlife Alert Reward
Program, and the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service (FWS)
are offering rewards for in-
formation leading to the ar-
rest of those involved. The
FWS requires both an ar-
rest and a conviction before
it can- pay a reward. The
Wildlife Alert hotline num-
ber is 1-888-404-3922.

THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, JANUARY 29,2009


N o-

where you
go in this
big nation 4 -
of ours,
it's still
surprising
how many
people
k n o w
someone, or something
about where you are
from. This past week I
once again learned a
little bit more about
Walton County, from
several true New
Yorkers.

This past week I had
business in the Big Apple,
but still had some time to
see some old stomping
grounds in and around
Manhattan. With nearly
eight million people
working and living in the
city and tri-borough area, it
is a breathe of fresh air
when something about
home is brought to your
attention.
I have been to New York
City numerous times, and I
have had a chance to see all
the tourist spots and the
out-of-the-way local
hangouts. But this
particular trip I took a
little extra time and made
it around to some of the
local stores and places that
I had always just
considered to be "not my
type" of place.

My first encounter was
with an artist in her
gallery, who had been a
life-long resident of the
Empire State. She went to
a Catholic school in Long
Island, studied at New
York University, and now
resides on the upper east
side where she makes. a
living as an art teacher at
Hunter College, and as an
artist.
While mulling over her
numerous paintings,, she,
showed me her favorite
one. It was a painting of
her daughter. She had
painted it more than two
decades ago, and where
else, but on the dock at the
mansion in Eden State
Gardens? ,
She said it was her
favorite, and that she had
sold more than 2,000 prints
to visitors from all over the
world. She explained that
they had come to Walton
County and had such a
wonderful time, that all she


Art Clips

,.Chi L
^'' t' /' ^. /U(. cT'Z. '.'/ -J" I


could do was snap photos
and be inspired to paint.
After I told her about
the numerous art festivals
and cultural events that
take place along the
Emerald Coast of Florida,
she called her daughter,
who now lives in Michigan,
and said they would be
making their vacation
plans in October to come
here. A few moments of
sharing about my home
town, .and visitors are
lining up to come to Walton
County.
My second opportunity
to promote this area came
while sitting in Trump
Tower and talking to an
actress/waitress, while
waiting for a table. She was
thrilled to hear about the
place where she came as a
teenager for spring break.
She said that her parents
did not approve of her
going to all the wild parties
in Panama City, so she told
them she was staying in
Grayton Beach where all
the "families" stayed for the
holidays.
The New Orleans native
had been back to the area
about two years ago for a
wedding and said although
it had changed so much,
Grayton Beach ,and the
surrounding areas still
looked like it was a have
for artists and musicians.
She also went on to
describe to her colleagues
how beautiful and peaceful
the area was and once
again I was able to share
some more interesting facts
with her about the county
and this part of Florida.
Needless to say, she said
her and her boyfriend were
thinking about having their
2010 wedding in South
Florida, but now wants to
take a closer look at the
Emerald Coast.
The third encounter I
had was with a lady who
ran the counter at Aldo
Shoes in Manhattan. After
she rang me up, she asked
for my I.D., and asked me
to say "DeFuniak."
I had to explain how it
was pronounced, and then
where we are located on the


map. Of
course, after
t h e
explanation, I
had the task of
explaining
w h a t
De Funiak
Springs was
close to.
A f t e r


drawing it on a cocktail
napkin,,talking about being
one of the top 10 vacation
destinations in the nation, I
finally had to break down
and tell her it is about 25
miles from where they
filmed "Girls Gone Wild."
After that explanation, she
knew exactly where it was
and asked if I knew the
producer of the movies, Joe
Francis.

To others, Walton
.County and the Florida
Panhandle has become
their new vacation
destination. No longer is
Miami the only part of
Florida that northerners
know. Now places like
Seaside, Rosemary Beach,
Destin and other coastal
names, are beginning to
make headway with
tourists from the Big Apple.
Many of the numerous
artists and musicians that I
talked with were also
surprisingly familiar with
some of the events and
festivals that take place
here annually along the
Florida coast. Some of
those I spoke to have even
taken part in, or attended
one or more of the events.
Though we have a long
way to becoming the tourist
traps that New York City
or .even Miami/Orlando
have become, we have our
own traits and qualities
that are beginning to be
read about and found out
about all over the nation.,
With tourist season right
on our heels and the
"beach" season just around
the "corner, make a point to
ask a tourists where they
are from and what brought
them down to this part of
Florida.
It might surprise you
that they call themselves
tourists and have come to
vacation, but don't be
surprised if you run into
them again in the future
and they are sporting a
Walton County tag on their
vehicle. Everybody has a
dream of owning a piece of
the paradise pie, even if
they were raised on New
York cheesecake.

Any person whose substantial interests are
affected by any decision of the Department
on the application has the right to request
an administrative hearing in accordance
with the provisions of Sections 120.569
and 120.57 of the Florida Statutes. Should
you desire an administrative hearing, your
request must comply with the provisions
of Rule 28-106.201 of the Florida Admin-
istrative Code, as indicated below. Send
requests for hearings to the Department of
Environmental Protection, Office of Gen-
eral Counsel, 3900 Commonwealth Boule-
vard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida
32399. The Department must receive the
request within twenty-one (21) days after
your receipt of this notice.

When the Department receives an ade-
quate and timely filed request for hearing,
the Department will request the assign-
ment of an administrative law judge. Once
an administrative law judge is requested,
the referring agency will take no further ac-
tion with respect to the proceeding except
as a party litigant, as long as the Division
of Administrative Hearings has jurisdiction
over the formal proceeding.

Rule 28-106.201(2), Florida Administra-
tive Code, explains what must be included
in a petition for a formal administrative
proceeding. Section 120.54(5)(b)4, Flor-
ida Statutes, and Rule 28-106.201(2) of
the Florida Administrative Code, explain
what must be included in a petition for a
formal administrative proceeding. Unless
otherwise provided by statute, and except
for agency enforcement and disciplinary
actions that shall be initiated under Rule
28-106.2015, F.A.C., initiation of proceed-
ings shall be made by written petition to
the agency responsible for rendering final
agency action. The term "petition" includes
any document that requests an evidentiary
proceeding and asserts the existence of a
disputed issue of material fact. Each peti-
tion shall be legible and on 8 1/2 by 11 inch
white paper. Unless printed, the impres-
sion shall be on one side of the paper only
and lines shall be double-spaced.

affected and each agency's file or identifi-
cation number, if known;

(b) The name, address, and telephone
number of the petitioner; the name, ad-
dress, and telephone number of the peti-
tioner's representative, if any, which shall

ing the course of the proceeding; and an
explanation of how the petitioner's sub-
stantial interests will be affected by the
agency determination;

(c) A statement of when and how the peti-
tioner received notice of the Department's
action;

(d) A statement of all disputed issues of
material fact. If there are none, the petition
must so indicate;

(e) A concise statement of ultimate facts
alleged, including the specific facts the
petitioner contends warrant reversal or

action;-
(f) A statement of the specific rules or
statute the petitioner contends require re-
versal or modification of the Department's
proposed action, including an explanation
of how the alleged facts relate to the spe-
cific rules or statutes; and

the petitioner, stating precisely the action
petitioner wishes the Department to take
with respect to the Department's proposed
action.

A person may request an extension of time
to petition for an administrative hearing.
The person filing the request for extension
must do so within the time limits for filing
a petition described above and serve all
parties with the request. The request must
state why an extension is needed. The De-
partment will grant an extension only when
good cause is shown.

If a petition or request for extension of time
is filed, further order of the Department be-
comes necessary to effectuate this notice.
Accordingly, the Department's final action
may be different from the position taken
by it in this notice. Actions undertaken by
you under this permit, pending the lapse of
time allowed for the filing of such a request
for hearing, may be subject to modifica-
tion, removal, or restoration.

Failure to petition within the allowed time
frame constitutes waiver of any right that
such a person has to request a hearing
under Sections 120.569 and 120.57 of
the Florida Statutes and to participate as
a party to the proceeding. If a legally suf-
ficient petition for hearing, is not timely re-
ceived this notice constitutes final agency
action. When this order becomes final, any
party to the order has the right to seek ju-
dicial review under Section 120.68 of the
Florida Statutes and Rules 9.030(b)(1)
and 9.110 of the Florida Rules of Appel-
late Procedure by filing a notice of appeal
with the Department of Environmental
Protection, Office of General Counsel,

after this final order is filed with the De-
partment Clerk. The notice filed with the

the Florida Statutes. Any subsequent in-
tervention will only be at the approval of
the presiding officer upon motion filed un-
der Rule 28-106.205, Florida Administra-
tive Code.

A person whose substantial interests are
affected by the Department's proposed
agency action may choose to pursue me-
diation as an. alternative remedy under
Section 120.573 before the deadline for
filing a petition. Choosing mediation will
not adversely affect the right to a hearing if
mediation does not result in a settlement.

ing a mediation agreement with all parties
to the proceeding (which include the appli-

As provided in Section 120.573 of the
Florida Statutes, the timely agreement
of all parties to mediate will toll the time
limitations imposed by Sections 120.569
and 120.57 for requesting and holding
an administrative hearing. Unless other-
wise agreed by the parties, the mediation
must be concluded within sixty days of the
execution of the agreement. If mediation
results in settlement of the administrative
dispute, the Department must enter a final
order incorporating the agreement of the
parties. Persons whose substantial inter-
est will be affected by such a modified final
decision of the Department have a right to
petition for a hearing only in accordance
with the requirements for such set forth
above, and must therefore file their peti-
tions within twenty-one days of receipt of
this notice. If mediation terminates without
settlement of the dispute, the Department
shall notify all parties in writing that the ad-
ministrative hearing processes under Sec-
tions 120.569 and 120.57 remain avail-
able for disposition of the dispute, and the
notice will specify the deadlines that then
will apply for challenging the agency ac-

County Commissioner Scott
Brannon, Barfield indicated
that the Florida Legislature
had appropriated $7.5, mil-
lion for the PD&E study
during the 2008 legislative
session..
Some citizens of. the two-
county area who were in at-
tendance said they would
welcome the project.
Gina Tullo-Williams of
Panama City Beach said,
"We desperately- need this
kind of roadway."
Traffic standstills ac-
companying past hurricane
evacuation situations were
still fresh in Tullo-Williams'
mind. "You have to be pre-
pared for that kind of thing,"
she remarked.
Patrick Foslien, also a
Panama- City resident, com-
mented, "We've got high
hopes for everything."
However, Foslien saw
something of a "cart-before-
the-horse" situation with
the road proposal being pre-
sented now for airport ac-
cess, and with the airport
currently under constiuc-
tion.
"To me, the road should
have been part of the air-
port plan," Foslien said,
adding, "I don't like the toll
road idea."
Bob Dobes, a resident
of Old Seagrove in Walton
County, said he was not nec-
essarily against the proposal
but wanted more informa-
tion about the proposal.
"It has not been specifi-
cally defined how the traffic
flow would benefit during an
evacuation...there need to
be traffic models to demon-
c+0o onnr c 4onjrinl,, +Lo+


would work," Dobes said.
"If the issue is creat-
ing north-south evacuation
routes, it would appear that
accessing SR-20 would be
the more logical approach
than building east-west cor-
ridors," he commented.
Dobes addedthathe would
favor waiting to see how vi-
able the new airport would
be before deciding wheth-
er to incur the expense of
building a new 24-mile-long
roadway. He was inclined
to view construction of the
road as an expensive way
to save 15 minutes, whether
for accessing the airport or
evacuating.
"Are we looking at all
the criteria correctly for
the greater benefit of every-
one in the communities of
the twin counties?" Dobes
asked.
Additional public meet-
ings, workshops, and hear-
ings are planned for the pro-
posal.

Attendees at the two kick-
off meetings were invited to
submit their comments on
forms that were provided.
Comments may also be pro-
vided or questions answered
by contacting J. Brandon
Bruner, P.E., project devel-
opment engineer for DOT
at (850) 638-0250 or joseph.

ditional information, includ-
ing contact information for
other members of the project
team, an online comments

ORDINANCES


being the most prevalent.
Since the 1990s, disorien-
tation of around 20 percent
of the sea turtle nests on
Walton County's beachfront
has occurred each year, ac-
cording to biologist Lorna
Patrick of the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service.
Patrick said that one
Florida county that adopt-
ed a sea turtle lighting or-
dinance in 1998, Franklin
County, has been able to get
its incidence of hatchling
disorientations down to just
2 percent.

In 2004, the nearby city
of Destin adopted a "marine
turtle conservation zone"
ordinance with no substan-


tial modifications from the
Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission's
"model" marine turtle light-
ing ordinance. The model
ordinance was the starting
point for Walton County's
proposed ordinance, now ini
its 13th draft, before modi-
fications were implemented,
mostly in response to the
concerns of beachfront prop-
erty owners.
Destin Community De-
velopment Director Kend-
rick Gallander said results
with the city's ordinance
have been good.
"As for those (regula-
tions), all seems to be work-
ing out very well,". Gal-
lander commented in early


CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1-C


January. "I don't believe
we have had any violations,
and people are willing to de-
sign their lighting using the
standards and even update
their current lights."
There was a requirement
in the Destin lighting ordi-
.nance for existing lighting
in the coastal zone to be
brought into compliance by
*May 2005.
Gallander said that since
the adoption of the ordi-
nance several years ago,
the city has complied with
the lighting standards in
its construction projects
and has encountered no
economic hardship in doing
so. He was also unaware of
any cost-related complaints


in connection with private-
sector projects constructing
to the lighting standards.
Previously the Walton
County Board of County
Commissioners had been
scheduled to consider the
Wildlife Conservation Zone
Ordinance at a public hear-
ing in late January. How-
ever, consideration of the
ordinance was postponed
to allow time for work on
revisions in response to con-
cerns raised by resort and
large condominium repre-
sentatives at a Dec. 9 public
hearing.

No date has been set at
this time for another hear-
ing on the ordinance.


Great Florida Birding Trail



"signs" on in Panhandle'


"That's awesome," said
Debbie Hampton, 10, of Girl
Scout Troop 854 from Talla-
hassee, after viewing a bald
eagle through a telescope at
St. Marks National Wildlife
Refuge on Saturday.
Debbie and five other
members of her troop had
come to the refuge for a sign-
dedication ceremony to cele-
brate the installation of the
Great Florida Birding Trail
road signs erected across
the Panhandle during De-
'cember and January. After-
.wards, birding experts from
the Florida f Fish and Wild-
life Conservation Commis-
sion (FWC) led the girls and
other birding enthusiasts on
a wagon ride through the
hiking trails in the refuge.
The tour made it clear
why the St. Marks National
Wildlife Refuge was chosen
as one of the sites for the
Great Florida Birding Trail.
During the. two-hour ride,,
44 species of birds ,were
spotted, including a bald ea-
gle and a clapper rail hiding
in the reeds of the marsh.
Several species of heron
and ibis, along with green-
winged and, blue-iringed
teals, were seen. The girls
were excited to see ospreys
flying overhead, since many
of them had voted to make
the osprey the new state
bird.
The Florida Panhandle'
offers outstanding bird-
ing experiences and fewer
crowds, with sought-after
species such as the red-cock-
aded woodpecker, swallow-
tailed and Mississippi kites,
snowy plover, Swainson's
warbler, Sprague's pipit
and a remarkable diversity
of winter visitors (including
hummingbirds) not typi-
cally found in the peninsula.
The Panhandle's coastline is
an important migration cor-
ridor for waterfowl, shore-
birds, songbirds and birds
of prey, as the Girl Scouts
-from Tallahassee discovered
on their first birding tour.
Officials with the FWC,
which oversees the birding
trail, commemorated the
day by thanking the many
individuals who have made.
the trail the success it is
today. Attending the sign-
dedication ceremony prior to
the tour was Wakulla Coun-
ty Commissioner George
Green.
"I feel honored to be here
today," Green said. "We're
very happy to be a partner
in this project and promise
to help the Great Florida
Birding Trail in any way we
can." Mark Kiser, who over-
sees the Great Florida Bird-


ing Trail for the FWC, em-
phasized the importance of
the partners who help make
the trail possible. The U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service
runs the refuge, and David
Moody, refuge ranger, spoke
about the importance of pro-
viding great birding sites.
"Birding folks are a dedi-
cated bunch, and they travel
and enjoy this part of the
state," he said. "The refuge
provides lots of opportunities
to see wading birds, raptors
and migratory birds, and we
appreciate the partnership
we have with the FWC."
Kiser also noted that Audu-
bon of Florida played an im-
portant role in the creation
of the Great Florida Birding
Trail. He introduced a for-
mer employee of the FWC
who helped bring the trail
to fruition. Julie Wraithmell
now works for Audubon of
Florida as the wildlife policy
coordinator, where she con-
tinues to be a strong sup-
porter of the trail.
"I thank the FWC for
its commitment to wildlife
viewers," Wraithmell said.
"There's a strong resiliency
of wildlife viewing dollars,
especially in rural commu-
nities. Unlike other popular
destinations in Florida, this
place is different every time
I visit. In the winter, there
are bald eagle nests, and in
the spring, swallow-tailed
kites feed over the refuge."
Jerrie Lindsey, direc-
tor of the FWC's Office of
Recreation Services, spoke
about the economic benefits
of wildlife viewing, not-
ing that Wakulla County is
home to seven sites on the
Great Florida Birding Trail.
"Birding is big business in
Florida, and the Great Flor-
ida Birding Trail is an in-
tegral part of the Sunshine
State's $5.2 billion wildlife
viewing industry," Lindsey
said. "More people travel to
Florida to see wildlife than
to any other state."
The Great Florida Bird-
ing Trail is a conservation
program initiated by the.
FWC to support the rapidly-
expanding activity of bird
watching. More than 485
exceptional sites throughout
Florida have been chosen,
based on their quality, and
compiled into trail' guides
representing four geograph-
ic regions.
St. Marks National Wild-
life Refuge, one of the Pan-
handle's gateway sites,
along with the Big Lagoon
State Park in Pensacola,
provides extensive trail-re-
lated resources, with loan-.
er optics available on site.

Eglin tests new


weapons system


An F-16 pilot from the
34th Fighter Squadron at
Hill AFB, Utah, was the
first to participate in a
combined Combat Archer-
Combat Hammer weapon
system evaluation program
(WSEP) mission earlier this
month, according to a Jan.
23 release from the 53rd
Wing at Eglin AFB, which
oversees WSEP -at Eglin.
During Combat Archer,
fighter aircraft engaged in
live-fire with air-to-air mis-
siles, while Combat Ham-
mer offered the opportunity
for live-fire of bombs in an
air-to-ground scenario.
The WSEP evaluators of
the 53rd Wing's 86th Fight-
er Weapons Squadron and


83rd FWS, located at Tyn-
dall AFB, joined forces to
conduct the continuous mis-
sion training. The Hill F-16
received its weapons load at
Tyndall and launched from
there and flew first over the
Gulf of Mexico for the Ar-
cher portion. It then refu-
eled from a KC-135 flown
out of MacDill AFB and flew
to the Eglin range for the
Hammer portion. Last year,
the 13th Fighter Squad-
ron, deployed from Misawa
AB, Japan, became the first
unit to tackle back-to-back
Archer and Hammer train-
ing. Misawa officials consid-
ered the melding of the two
programs a great time and
money-saver.

THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, JANUARY 29,2009


Artist of the month: Skippy Hoffmann


By ROBIN NEWTON

Kicking off the featured
artist of the month at the
Walton County Coastal Li-
brary in Santa Rosa Beach
is Helen "Skippy" Hoffman,
a resident of DeFuniak
Springs. Throughout the
month of January, an eclec-
tic collection of 40 paintings,
covering a span of 55 years,
are on exhibit during nor-
mal library hours.
Although she attended
two commercial art schools
in Pittsburgh, PA., and has
worked as a commercial art-
ist, she says fine art and
creating realism is her pas-
sion.
When first presented with
the opportunity to teach a
few neighborhood children,
she rose to the challenge,
creating a curriculum as the
students progressed. Now,
50 years later, this meth-
od and information is still
working and still in prog-
ress as new products and in-
formation become available.
Her classes are available to
children and adults.
Her method emphasizes
teaching basic rules and
information for perspective
and creating depth on a flat
surface. Students learn tech-
nique with charcoal, pastels,
oils, acrylic and watercolor.
These step-by-step instruc-
tions are now available in a
tutorial booklet written by
Hoffmann titled, "Drawing
and Painting Perspective."
She still paints as often
as possible and does com-
mission paintings' of vari-
ous subjects. Her favorite
is portrait work, working
from photographs and often
creating generational com-
positions, the same subject
at different ages or adding a
horse, dog or whatever will
make a pleasing or whimsi-
cal composition.
Hoffmann and husband,
Ben, have a frame shop
called "Our Place Custom
Framing." They are experi-
enced framers and can ac-
commodate all shapes ,and
sizes of matting and fram-
ing projects.
While Hoffman does work
by commission, she' also,


paints for her own pleasure
and the subjects always
come with a history, a story
that makes them memora-
ble.
"And The Beat Goes On"
(oil) "My granddaughter,
Amanda, the girl who do-
nated her kidney, went to
New Orleans on a weekend
three weeks before the one
year anniversary of Hur-
ricane Katrina and I told
her to take photos of groups
or singles entertaining in
Jackson Square. This was
the only one there. Just had
to paint the picture," says
Hoffmann.
"Hudson River Light-
house" Hoffmann and hus-
band, Ben, lived on a 38-foot
sailboat at one time. In the
spring of 1993, on a trip up
the Hudson River on their
way to Lake Ontario from
West Palm Beach, they had
to stop at a marina just past
this lighthouse to lower
their masts to get under the
bridges on the Erie Barge
Canal. Hoffmann took many
pictures of the river scenes.
This painting is an acrylic on
1/8-inch thick plastic primed
with clear Gesso. Hoffmann
put a sheet of aluminum
foil behind the plastic sup-
port so when the light hits
it just right the silver glows
through like light on water
on some summer days. She
adds, "An experiment that
worked well."
. "Pulcherrie" The portrait
is of a woman who owns a
home for orphans in Benin,
Africa. Hoffmann's son, Bill,
wife Cathy and her son,
Tim, do missionary work
with these people. There are
too many orphans and not
enough space, clothing, food
or medicine and more kids
show up every day. Cathy
took, the photo and again
Hoffmann felt the need to
paint the woman. Hoffmann
says, "If I was younger, I
would go at least once just
to meet her."
"Ballet Ensemble" This
was painted from a small
photo in the Palm Beach
newspaper. Hoffmann was
intrigued, by the color and
movement. It is painted
with thinned acrylic paint


on illustration board, so it
looks like a watercolor. The
painting was nearly finished
when a local resident saw it
and claimed it. It has only
been shown twice before.
Hoffmann made the lady
wait until after the show to
take it home.
"Going To Market" Hoff-
mann said, "Sometimes I'm
not sure I can make things
happen on a flat surface.
This photo was intriguing
because of the people com-
ing down the road with the
cliff on the left and a drop
off on the right. There is a
,lot happening, a story to be
told. I painted it with acryl-
ics using them like oil paint.
This is one of my first acrylic
paintings, so I was still ex-
perimenting with this prod-
uct. This painting was a
gift to my mother and hung
in her house in Pittsburgh
until last August when I
brought it home for this
show. My mother died three
years ago and my brother
has been caring for some of
my art collection."
"Sam's Pond" Hoffmann
has a friend who lives near
the dam at Juniper Lake in
Walton County. Together,


"Midnight Magnolia" this
charcoal selection is not in-
cluded in the show at the
library, but it is another rep-
resentation of Hoffmann's
vast talent as an artist.


he and Ben Hoffmann built
the frame shop. Each day,
Ben and Sam would work
from early morning until
the Florida sun and heat
made it necessary to stop
for the day. When Sam and
his wife went on an extend-
ed vacation to Madagascar,
the Hoffmanns seized the
opportunity and took pic-
tures of the pond in Sam's
back yard. When the friends
returned from Madagascar,
they were welcomed home
with a dinner at Hoffmann's
house. After dinner, they
all walked to the frame
shop and Sam was met .by
"Sam's Pond," on an easel
in the middle of the shop.
The painting now hangs in
a place of honor in Sam's liv-
ing room.
Suffice to say, Hoffmann's
passion for creating pictures
in several types of media is
more than a hobby. She has
created pictures upon re-
quest, but those she does for
herself have a story behind
them. Hoffman said it may
just be the need to try a new
technique, but quite often,
there is something more,
something in her heart she
needs to express.
