Tempers flare in sign workshop

By ALICIA LEONARD
During a business sign
workshop on Feb. 10, De-
Funiak Springs City Coun-
cil members got more re-k
sponses from. local business Do
owners than could fit on a
billboard.
In one of the better-
attended meetings, local
business owners let loose
with some pent-up feelings
over restrictions on how
they promote their business
and their relationship with
the DeFuniak Springs City
Council.

Freeport Council OKs. plan for



dry boat storage facility


By BEN GRAFTON
At the Freeport. City
Council meeting of Feb. 10,
City Planner Latilda Hen-
ninger presented a recom-
mendation from the Free-
port Planning Board for
approval of a project sub-
mitted by developer Bill
Roof for development of a
dry boat storage facility on
a 7.2 acre parcel accessed
from the end of Robinwood
Court on the west side of
Four Mile Creek. The facil-
ity, which at its capacity
will have sheltered storage
for 600 boats, will be known
as Freeport Yacht Club.
Resident requests for speed
bumps on Robinwood will
have to be made to the Wal-
ton County Board of County
Commissioners since it is
responsible for the street.


The project was approved
subject to the addition of a
new culvert near the end of
Robinwood.
Freeport Parks Director
Shane Supple gave a report
of a baseball tournament at
the Freeport Sports Com-
plex at Hammock Bay this
past weekend. He said 900
to 1,000 people attended the
event and that coaches re-
ported that the facility was
"s...the best."
It was reported that as
a side effect of the crowd
at the park, some local res-
taurants enjoyed a banner
sales event. Business was so
heavy at some locations that
these businesses have asked
for advance notification of
similar events in the futur-b
so they may make sure their
supplies can meet the de-
mand.


Supple also reported
that the large crowd put
a strain on the capacity of
the park's trash containers
and he asked for approval to
provide additional garbage
cans.
The park web site is now
operational. It can be ad-
dressed at HYPERLINK
"http://www.freeportsports-,
complex.com" www.free-
portsportscomplex.com.
City Engineer ,Charles
Peters reported that stud-
ies are continuing to clarify
the park's electrical power
supply distribution' system.
This information will be
used to determine whether
or not more. meters will
solve the power demand
charge that the liark faces.
Peters said that the con-
tractor, Donald Smith Co.,
would finish grouting in the


18-inch casing for Well #7
that day. This well is down
to 310 feet.
Mayor Mickey Marse
said that a grant agreement
with Northwest Florida Wa-
ter Management District
for funds to be used in the
extension of the water dis-
tribution system along the
SR-20 right-of-way west of
Portland has been received.
He noted that work is still
underway to try to get a con-
tractor to do the required
archeological and ecological
survey, which may cost up
to $55,000 for the work area.
The Council approved sign-
ing the grant agreement.
City Clerk Robin Haynes
asked the Council for ap-
proval to purchase, folding
tables to replace those at the
Community Center that are
in bad shape. This request


was approved.
Councilman Charlie Sim-
mons nioiminated Chris
Weeks to the Council as a
new member for the City
Planning Board.
Sheriffs Department Lt.
Eddie Farris addressed the
Council and said that new-
ly-elected Sheriff Mike Ad-
kinson was very concerned
about communications with
the county's communities
and people. In a move to
significantly improve this
situation he has set up three
service areas in the county
to deal with the issue. Far-
ris has been appointed to
lead the communications
effort in the Freeport-Port-
land-Choctaw Beach area
and he said he plans to at-
tend City Council meetings.
This move was well received
by the Council.


No Chautauqua

in Florida

Chautauqua Theater


By ALICIA LEONARD
By the time the new year
rolled around the DeFuniak
Springs Herald began to
receive information from
concerned citizens that the
Florida Chautaqua Theater
was no longer available for
rental to citizens or groups.
One of those citizens was
Ann Robinson, president
of The Florida Chautau-
qua Winter Assembly in
the Land of Summer. That
group was turned away af-
ter requesting a rental. Rob-
inson told the Herald that,
due to the overwhelming


response to the film festival
and radio hour held at the
theater last year, she moved
as soon as the Assembly
was over to secure a rental
for this year's Assembly, but
was told that thq theater
was not available.
Robinson, d former presi-
dent of the Florida Chau-
tauqua Theater Board and
board member in the 90s
and early 2000, said she had
always questioned that the
by-laws for the board had
not been properly followed
because board members
were not respecting term
limits specified in the by-


"One major source of income and the primary
focus of the theatre has been its children's pro-
ductions. The parents pay Beth for the work-
shops. Those funds come back to us in the form
of production and that generates great revenue
for us. We would love to have more plays, but
the way we're set up, the only time it would be
possible would be in the summer. "- Cindy Roehm,
Florida Chautauqua Theater president


MANY THINK THE FCT should be used more often and be more available to the com-
munity for rentals, but the FCT says their productions come first.


laws. "I've always followed
by-laws of any organization
and there were board mem-
bers on when I was there
that had been there forever,
probably 15 years."
Robinson said that dur-
ing the time she anid other
citizens were working to
build funding for a match-
ing grant for restoration of
the theater, she was under
the impression that the the-
ater was to be a community
See THEATER 8-A


"I guess I didn't foresee what was going to
come along. We asked the community to buy
bricks and I even purchased seats in my fam-
ily's memory. We put on shows just to buy an
air-conditioner for the building. We raised
$10,000 in the community for that one item.
Even though the theater is its own entity under
a non-profit organization, it's supposed to be for
the community." Ann Robinson, president, Florida

Chautauqua

from the

Porch

By ANN ROBINSON
Feb. 18, 2009
From my porch I can see
the lake side of the Chau-
tauqua Hall of Brotherhood.
,Of course,. that is not the
original back of the build-"
ing. Construction ended in
1909 with the death of Wal-
lace Bruce without really
finishing the interior of the
auditorium. So this.year we
are celebrating 100 years of
seeing this handsome build-
ing standing there like a
member of the family. It has
played host to high school
graduations, basketball
games, band festivals, wres-
tling matches, USO dances,
'family reunions, high school
reunions, elderhostel, high
school proms, weddings, art
shows and the Florida Win-
ter Assembly in the Land
of Summer. Without even
knowing it, the building has
promoted the four pillars
of Chautauqua...Religion...
Education...the Arts...and
Recreation. And so the As-
sembly brings you a variety
of programs.
Michael Tylavsky and Ja-
son Lombardo, of A.G. Ed-
wards Wachovia Securities,
are two brave young men
who will be speaking to us
on investing in these crazy
times. You may hear them

"We can't be more proud
of these graduates," says
C.E.R.T. coordinator Ofelia
Murphy. "These graduates
are intergenerational, and it
is touching'to see a 10-year-
old take training with their
mother, and to see three
home school families par-


ticipate in such a worth-
while activity for the good of
their communities, among
many other caring individu-
als. I and our Emergency

me' in congratulating these

Editorial Comment



Another historic

moment in America

By RON KELLEY


As I am writing this, President Barack Hussein Obama
is signing his stimulus package into existence. This is an-
other history-making moment from the Hope/Change ad-
ministration. It truly is an historic moment, one that we
can tell our debt-ridden great-grandchildren about to help
them understand how millions of Americans cheered as we
sold their birthrights into bondage.
We can tell them that it was the brainchild of financial
geniuses like Secretary of Treasury Timothy Geitnrer, who
failed to pay $34,000 in federal taxes during his employ-
ment at the International Monetary Fund -.even though he
received extra pay and written notices that described his
tax liabilities;
Obama Cabinet nominee Tom Dgschle, who was finally
forced to pay back $140,000 after he was caught cheating
on his taxes;
Rep. Charlie Rangel, the head of the powerful tax-writing
committee, who had to pay $75,000 in unreported income
- after he first blamed his wife and then his accountant be-
fore finally blaming it on his inability to speak Spanish.
Now I understand why Democrats don't worry about
higher taxes they don't pay them!
Of course, not everybody has been forced to repay money.
Many House and Senate leaders have been making boat-
loads of money while the American economy went up in
flames.'
Iii January, while America's financial house of cards
crumbled, every House representative voted to give .them-
selves $93,000 in petty cash. If you needed any more proof
that our elected officials are completely out of touch with
most Americans, consider that they think of $93,000 as
petty.
Before that, Fannie Mae "invested" $133,900 in Sen.
Chris Dodd, head of the Senate Banking Committee. (They
also "invested" more than $105,000 in then-Sen. B. H.
Obama.) Sen. Dodd also received $800,000 in "sweetheart"
mortgages from Countrywide Financial. Countrywide's
meltdown precipitated the current financial disaster.
House Appropriations Chairman David Obey has just
earniarked approximately. $2 billion of this stimulus pack-
age relating to his son's lobbying activities for a non-profit,
group. How one can say "$2 billion" and "non-profit group"
in the same sentence is a mystery to me. Clearly, I don't
understand high finance. I'm still getting over $93,000 as
petty cash.
You'll no doubt be relieved to know that the fraudulent
voter-registration group ACORN (the focus of a RICO law-
suit in Ohio) is getting $4.19 billion of the stimulus package
for "Community Stabilization Activities." Oh, yes they are!
Of course, all of this is to create jobs and it will govern-
ment jobs, mostly. In fact, 65 percent of the $789 billion will
be spent by the government for the government, resulting
in you guessed it more government!
Fqr those of you who appreciate irony as much as I do,
consider that the only truthful statement about the stimu-
lus package I've heard from the Obama administration has
come from Vice President Joe Biden, who said, "Not since
World War II has a caucus gathered with so many chal-
lenges facing our country and the stakes so high. If we do
everything right, there's still a 30-percent chance we're go-
ing to get it wrong."
President Obama said he didn't know what Vice Presi-
dent Biden was talking about. I'm sure.that's true.
But what about us, you know, We, The People?
Well, about 17 percent goes to tax cuts for workers. Yay!
According to an analysis by Congressman Jack Kingston
(R-GA), that means about 20 cents an hour for the average
working American.
Uh...yay?
The remaining half goes to increased spending for gov-
ernment assistance programs. Oh, goody! More welfare!
That's good, because we're all going to be needing it very
soon.
Columnist Herman Cain noted, "A lot of liberals are un-
comfortable with the word socialism, because they do not
want to scare off the gullible, those who believe the system
has cheated them or those that believe that, now that Ba-
rack Obama is president, they will not have to worry about
buying gas for their car or keeping up on their mortgage
payment."
Socialism. That's where we're headed, but don't take my
word for it.
The late Norman M. Thomas, six-time presidential can-
didate (representing the Socialist Party of America), said,
"The American people will never knowingly adopt social-

Editor:
A recent article in your periodical caused me to ponder
the immense financial problem facing our Walton County
School Board (WCSB). They are faced with having to cut
their operating budget by $4 mnillion-plus, and are scram-
bling for solutions. Some ideas being considered range from
consolidating schools, closing brand new schools, and re-
ducing incentives for employees.
While taxpayers have not been asked for possible solu-
tions, I thought I might offer a few of mine for our illustri-
ous WCSB. I am quite sure that some of these might not sit
too well with some group of individuals, bear in mind that
these are just suggestions from only one taxpaying citizen
, of Walton County.
Since many states have school board members act as
volunteers, I suggest that our school board members vol-
unteer to forego their salary for a period of, say five to 10
years. The savings, while not close to $4 million, would be
a good start. It would also show the taxpaying public that
sacrifice can be made by all, even our very cost-conscious,
frugal board members, who have shown their superior abil-
ities in managing our tax money in a prudent and respon-
sible manner.
In the,same vein, I believe that our superintendent would
find a 15-percent reduction in her salary, (one of the largest
salaries paid in Walton County) a fitting sacrifice on her
part. She has asked for sacrifices of others in the county so,
to show her unwavering support for the citizens that sup-
ply her livelihood, this should be a minor inconvenience for
her. Another small consideration could be to return some of
the trappings of the administration offices, (pictures, car-'
pet, statues, lounge-type, chairs, etc.). I 'am sure that the
day-to-day duties of her office could be maintained without
the pricey extras that have found their way into the bud-
get.
The many principals, administrators, counselors, and
other non-classroom educators could follow the lead of
their superintendent by giving up, say, 10 percent of their
pay for a period of three to five years. I am leaving the in-
classroom teachers out of this equation, because they are
typically the lowest paid of all the educators and are the
ones truly providing a hands on education to our children.
We could stop construction on the new high school and
return to the usable building previously occupied and still
capable of handling the function of education for our high
school students.
Now for the one suggestion that will not endear me to.
most of the citizens of our wonderful county.
I suggest that all athletic programs, (football, baseball,
soccer, volleyball, etc.) be deleted, and only PE classes be
held. (This would only be for a specified period of time, un-
til our WCSB could balance the budget funded out of the
pocket of the taxpaying citizens of the county) This would
free up a tremendous amount of funds from salaries of'the
athletic directors, (who usually are compensated more than
the principals and paid way more than a classroom teacher,
who is responsible for teaching math, English, science, and
literature), coaches, (at one time wasn't there more than
six + coaches just for football?). These individuals should
possess degrees in education and could better be utilized
in a classroom situation. Most functions I have attended
where the coaches/AD's speak, they reference their desire
to do only; what is best for the students, insuring that they
receive only the best academic education along with the
sports. This action would show their support for graduat-
ing students who can balance check books, read well, do
simple math in their heads without the use of a comput-
er, speak well without using "You know" or "Like" over 12
times in one sentence. I doubt an AD, or coach that is truly
in favor of putting our young people out into society with a
well-rounded academic education would balk at giving up a
little to insure a balanced budget, and educated students.
This action would save monies not only in salaries, but
also in stadium usage, maintenance, staffing, utilities for-
lighting, heating cooling, chaperones, (usually the class-
room teachers or parents) travel expenses for buses and
drivers, specialized equipment, just to mention a few cost
saving items. The gymnasiums and sport fields could still
be used for physical education classes.
I do not recommend that sports programs be removed
forever, only for the time it takes to balance the budget.
I am absolutely not against sports programs/athletics in
schools. However, I am convinced that the primary func-
tion of our education system in Florida is, and should be,
first and foremost, designed to provided a solid founda-
tional education for our children, so they can function in a
society, where academics are vital for success.
I have a deep and abiding faith that the students of to-
day are the future of our nation and, that, without a quality
education being provided for them today, we are doomed to
fail.

Editor,
Welcome to the USSR (United States Socialist Repub-
lic)!
Well, the Messiah of Change is making his intentions
well-known with his socialist doctrine. With the "stimu-
lus package" of spoiled pork and fowl-smelling rhetoric, the
smell reminds me that the pre-refined effluent at the local
sewer plant smells better each day.
This Messiah of Change is going to leave us with chump.
change and people are buying his fear of doom and gloom
which he said during his campaigning diatribe is 180 de-
grees from his elected promises: He needs to fire his so-
called economists, which are leading us down the primrose
path of destruction. The government needs to stops spend-
ing so the people can spend.
If you think socialist health care, socialist banks, social-
ist economy, socialist (government) is the way to freedom,
just ask the Russians how they feel about socialism run-
ning their country. I don't want Obama to fail, but I don't
see him winning. His popularity in three weeks is already
down 10 percent.

Editor:
The county is now running a generic "notice of intent to
use uniform method of collection non-ad valorem assess-
ments" which was the subject of a letter-in your November
27 issue. Contrary t.o answers supplied at that time, Mr.
Imfeld (BCC finance director) informed me yesterday that
this notice is intended for MSBUs which may be forthcom-
ing later this year. Giving blanket approval to future MS-
BUs within the county boundaries does not appear to be the
intent of section 197.3632. Florida Statutes, as indicated in
the below excerpts:'
(1)(a) "Levy" means the imposition of a non-ad valorem
'assessment, stated in terms of rates, against all appropri-
ately located property by a governmental body authorized
by law to impose non-ad valorem assessments.
(3)(a) Notwithstariding any other provision of law to the
contrary, a local government which is authorized to impose
a non-ad valorem assessment and which elects to use the
uniform method of collecting such assessment for the first
time as authorized in this section shall adopt a resolution
at a public hearing prior to January 1 or, if the property ap-
praiser, tax collector, and local government agree, March 1.
The resolution shall clearly state its intent to use the uni-
form method of collecting such assessment. The local gov-
ernment shall publish notice of its intent to use the uniform
method for collecting such assessment weekly in a newspa-
per of general circulation within each county contained in
the boundaries of the local government for 4 consecutive
weeks preceding the hearing. The resolution shall state the
need for the levy and shall include a legal description of the
boundaries of the real property subject to the levy.
From the legal description provided (by the county), it
appears that the entire county is subject to a first-time levy
and the need expressed in the resolution is that "The Coun-
ty hereby determines that the levy of the assessments is
needed to fund the cost of capital infrastructure and road-
way improvements within the unincorporated area of the
County."
I would encourage all citizens to attend the February 24
public hearing. I believe that Florida Statues intend both
the notice and resolution to be specific to a single capital
project and not a blank cheque for future county use.

cil from previous workshops
into the new proposed and
"tidied-up" ordinances and
regulations.
Scoville told the Council.
that the proposal to change
the size of some signs would
*not affect any existing signs
and would only apply to new
signs if the Council passed
the changes. "This is for new
signs," Scoville said.
The biggest changes in
signs being discussed was
that bff-premise signs (in-
cluding billboards) not with-
in -50 feet of the Interstate
10 right of way would not be
allowed to exceed a height
of 20 feet, instead of the now
40-foot limit. Those within
the 50-foot radius of the In-
terstate right-of-way would
also be able to maintain
their 200-square foot cover-
age, but the new change for
off-premise would cut that
down to 100 square feet for
any new sign. Scoville said
this was to reduce visual
clutter, appearance of blight
and bring off-premise sign
size closer to the on-premise
sign size.
The second proposed
change was for, ground or
on-premise signs. In the
C-1 district, the proposed
changes are as follows, two
ground signs not exceeding,
64 square feet of total area
where the lot or parcel has a
minimum of 200 linear front
feet on each of the two street
frontages. New ground signs
may also not exceed 20 feet
in height. Scoville said this
change addressed the Coun-
cil's desire to provide the op-
portunity for larger parcels
and those on street corners
to have up to two ground
signs. The maximum square
footage for signs would not
be reduced in this, district
and could only be divided up
among the signs.
In a C-2 district, suggest-
ed changes were provisions
for reducing the overall po-
tential sign size from 1,000
square feet, down to 500 on
all parcels. Scoville wrote
in his brief for the Coun-
cil, "This equalizes the sign
rules for smaller lots in the
C-i and C-2 districts, while
liberalizing the sign rules
for larger parcels on street
corners." Change of own-
ership will not affect the
"grandfathering-in" clause
of these new proposals af-
fecting new signs.
Council member James
Huffman opened the dis-
course, "I'm concerned about
new billboards and what
the businesses may be able
to place on those." Huff-
man produced a newspaper
article about a billboard in
the Fort Walton Beach area


Elvis is


By JEFFREY POWELL
There are over 500 offi-
cial Elvis Presley' fan clubs
throughout the world. Elvis
is arguably still one of the
most recognized names in
the entertainment business,
years after his untimely
death in 1977. His music
and movies still evoke strong
sentiments to those who feel
he was the "King" of rock 'n'
roll.
One such fan is Barbara
Sue Dennis of Florala, AL.
Dennis' love of everything
Elvis began when she was
13 years old. One evening
Dennis and her family were
watching the Ed Sullivan
show when Presley made an
appearance. From that time
forward Dennis has done ev-
erything within her power
to collect and see anything
related to Elvis Presley.
"Some people did not like
Elvis at first, but I did,"
Dennis said emphatically.
"He was the main rock 'n'
roll star, no one can take his
place."
According to Dennis, she
has every record and movie
Elvis ever made and she con-
tinues to save any memora-
bilia. she can get her hands
on. Her collection contains
books, records, scrapbooks,
plates, puzzles, trading
cards, posters, buttons and
more.
A highlight of Dennis'
Elvis enthusiasm was see-
ing him perform live just six


"The problem is this was formulated by gov-
ernment. This is where the problem is. In my
mind, what needs to take place is a commission
and appoint people from local business on that
commission. You are working inside a business
district, but you see it differently. You have a
different agenda. When this was formulated, if
business people were included, it would have
looked a little different. "- Greg Lathmghouse


that had drawn citizens ire
over a scantily-clothed fe-
male posing in front of an
American flag and asked
what could be done to regu-
late the content of the signs.
Scoville said that he under-
stood Huffman's concerns;
but he believed that the. is-
sue of what is printed on
billboards may be a First
Amendment free-speech is-
sue that would be beyond
the city's control.
Mayor Harold Carpenter
asked if there were any com-
ments from the audience
before the Council decided
whether to put the proposed
changes on the schedule for
a first reading during an up-
coming Council meeting.
Roger Leatherberry, of
McLain's Family Steak-
house, addressed the Coun-
cil, "As a business owner, ev-
eryone in town knows where
my business is at. My signs
are to stop travelers and get
them to stop in. That is the
reason behind signs, is to
let people know where we
are, where our businesses
are. People stop on the-way
back from their vacation-
all the time and say they
didn't even see us on the
way down. We are trying to
get people to stop when they
, come through town."
Cathy Mosley, a.' De-
Funiak Business and Profes-
sional Association (DBPA)
member, concurred, "I know
if you make signs too small,
you can't find a business and
the signs are so small people
almost get into an accident
tryirig to find the store or
business."
Cathrine King, of Dave's
Music, told the Council that
she and some business part-
ners had been approached
about selling a piece of prop-
erty inside the city limits,
but the potential buyers
were wanting a confirma-
tion that they would be able
to place a large billboard
sign on the property before
they could give a sold offer
on the property. "You know
there is just something to
this that I can't do with my
property like I would like to
and that kind of bothers me.


It's more and more restric-
tions, it seems to me, and
I just wonder why some-
times."
Greg Lathinghouse, of
Triangle Chevrolet, ad-
dressed the Council, "I sat
down with Don Harrison
earlier today and discussed
this issue. I do still wonder
how all of this was formu-
lated. I know you have had
some workshops on the is-
sue, but were local business
people invited to participate
in this process?"
DeFuniak Springs. City
Manager Kim Kirby re-
sponded, "We advertise all
of our workshops and public
meeting and they are open
to all the public."
Lathinghouse responded,
"No, I mean were they per-
sonally invited to be part of
the process?"
Scoville responded, "No
sir, they were not. The idea
was to get something on pa-
per, to start the process. I
don't take any type of own-
ership in this document. I
did try and rework this or-
dinance, so it would flow as
an ordinance should flow.
As far as the recommenda-
tions, there are legal chal-
lenges all across the nation
right now, over the word-
ing of some ordinances. I
came. to the Council and re-
quested that I be ,able to go
through ours and take care
of those issues, so, we would
not have any problems with
things like that and bring
us into compliance with our
comprehensive plan."
Kirby concurred, "We
welcome our business in-
put at anytime. Contact me
anytime and I will be happy
to forward your concerns to
the Council."
Lathinghouse responded,
'"The problem is. this was
formulated by government.
This is where the problem
is. In my mind, what needs
to take place is a commission
and appoint people from lo-
cal business on that commis-
sion. You are working inside
a business district, but you
see it differently. You have
a different agenda. When

months before he died. Den-
nis and a group of friends
traveled to the Garrett Coli-
seum in Montgomery, AL.,
and witnessed a sold-out
show. The group was seated
in the fourth row and she
still has the ticket stub to
prove.it.
"Seeing that show was
worth every penny we paid,"


she said. "At the end of the
show he threw out some
scarves but I was too ner-
vous to go get one."
Although Dennis is not
a member of any organized
fan club she sees no end to
her Elvis enthusiasm.
"I still collect anything I.
can find," she said "To this
day, I still like Elvis."


ness people were included,
it would have looked a little
different. If Don hadn't in-
vited me today, I would not
have realized the meeting
was tonight."
Lathinghouse went onto
tell the Council that he did
not feel like the city had a
pro-business agenda. "As
a business person who has
been doing business in this
town for a long time, it's un-
fortunate that I don't feel
like the city is for my busi-
ness to succeed. That's a
viewpoint that is not alto-
gether fair to you, but dif-
ferent situations that you
run into when you own a
business here gives you that
feeling. It's all about the way
things look please don't in-
terrupt. that with balloons
or signs or whatever it takes
to conduct business. As time
goes on, the downtown area
will become something, I
don't know what. We can't
do the things we need to do
to .attract business. We pay
payroll, and taxes and pur-
chase water and gas from
the city, but my ability to do
business is hampered by the
city."
Kirby asked Lathing-
*house if it was just the sign
ordinance he was having is-
sues with or if it was more
than that. Lathinghouse re-
sponded that it was more a
feeling he received that the
city was not pro-business.
"Most of the businesses I
come into contact with feel
they are fighting a losing
battle."
Carpenter told the au-
dience, "We need to know
what sort of problems our
business are having, so we
can address them." Lath-
inghouse responded, "Har-
old, this has been festering
a long time and I probably
should have said something
a long time ago."
Ron Kelley, representing
the DBPA, told the Coun-



Na~yloreatyUSA1 [om


cil, "I am willing to bet that
not a single business-owner
came to this workshops
and said, 'I've got too many
signs, they're too big, you've
got to help us!' This didn't
come from the business com-
munity. I know everyone
wants it to look good and I
do, too, but as goes the busi-
ness community, so goes
the town. The reoccurring
theme in all the recommen-
dations is restriction after
restriction after restriction.
You are making it tougher
on business to do business.
They don't buy signs because
they can't think of anything
else to spend their money
on. The signs work and they
are a necessity for business.
In a marvelous economic
climate, that would not be
the smartest thing for a city
council to do. In the current
business climate, it's almost
criminal. I urge you to be
very cautious when you vote
to restrict business and the
way they do business."
Carpenter asked for a
certain issue that restricts
business owners. One au-
dience member responded
that they couldn't put a bal-
loon on a car antenna to ad-
vertise a sale. Another spoke
of having to take down a
banner that increased foot
traffic into their business.
Others told the Council that
if they did not own the prop-
erty their business was lo-
cated in, they would be out
on the street as a business
owner during these tough
economic times.


PAGE 7-A
Scoville told the crowd
that they had added a sec-
tion where business owners
could apply for temporary
permits for banners and
such in the new ordinance.
After more discussion,
Councilman Harrison asked
that the Council go ahead
with the changes to the or-
dinances, yet work with the
business community about
their concerns.
Huffman told the audi-
ence, "We want to help your
business. We always run
into this, though. We have
workshops and no one at-
tends. Then when we have
some type of plan puit togeth-
er, everyone shows up and
has something to say. We
need what we are doing to-
night. We need citizens and
business owners involved in
their government process
and we want to make things
better for everyone involved
in this process. So, I'm glad
we are having this discus-
sion here tonight and we
need to have more like it."
In the end, the Coun-
cil agreed to ask the busi-
ness community to put- to-
gether a commission and to
come back and work with
the Council on the new or-
dinances before anything"
is decided by the Council.
The next workshop will be
held in a few months after
the business commission is
formed and ready to open a
discourse with the Council
.over ways the city can help
business people stay in busi-
ness in DeFuniak Springs.

HEALTH MATTERS:


THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19,2009

THEATER CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1-A


Fit & Healthy


By GEOFF KALMBACH
It's that time of year
again the time when mil-
lions flock to the gym, go
on a diet, or join a weight
loss center; when everyone
resolves to get healthier in
the upcoming year. Accord-
ing to research, less than 20
percent stick to their New
Year's resolutions, on aver-
age, and the biggest resolu-
tion failures are often fitness
related.
Many people set New
Year's goals to improve their
health and fitness and begin;
new exercise programs. Yet
after investing time and
money, most fail to get any
traction and achieve sig-
nificant long term results.
That's why I will be sharing
a real blueprint for fitness
success at the upcoming
February 25 event, "How To
Make 2009 Your Healthi-
est and Best Year Ever."
Awareness of the following
common mistakes can pre-
vent frustration, disappoint-
ment, and ultimately failure
when starting a new fitness
program.
Setting an unattainable
goal We all want to jump
directly to our ideal health
and fitness level, but there
are steps in between. Avoid'
setting.the same high stan-


dard resolutions that you
continue to unsuccessfully
achieve year after year. This
will only set people up for
frustration, failure, and dis-
appointment.
Starting an incomplete
program To be successful,
a program must be com-
plete. A complete program
includes attention to nutri-
tion, resistance training,
and cardiovascular exercise
- all leading to a "synergy"
effect for maximum results.
No accountability Suc-
cess achievers know that
accountability is essential
to move from intention to
results. Without support
and regular "check-up from
the neck up," life's distrac-
tions quickly take many off
course. Use accountability
to stay on track with goals
to avoid plateaus or back-
sliding.
No professional guidance
- Many begin a fitness pro-
gram without defined goals
or a plan to achieve them. To
achieve significant, long
term results, the guidance
of an expert puts one on the
right track.
Push too hard, too soon
- We all come into January
raring to go, full of energy
and enthusiasm for our new
goals and New Year, but in
reality our body needs to be


given time to adjust to a new
exercise program. When
starting a new program
we need to avoid pushing
too hard in the beginning,
which can causes soreness,
stiffness, even pulled or torn
muscles.
Knowing common mis-
takes and pitfalls before
hand can prevent frustra-
tion, injury, and loss of mo-
tivation. Taking steps to
prevent them from occur-
ring will guarantee a hap-
pier and more successful fit-
ness program for a new you
in 2009.
For additional weight loss
guidance, all Emerald coast
residents are invited to at-
tend the February 25 special
event. This event is spon-
sored by four of the Emerald
coasts leading health, fitness
and personal care experts
and is designed to share
their specific knowledge and
proven health-enhancing
action plans with local resi-
dents, while raising money
for Alaqua Animal Refuge. A
$10 tax-deductible donation
to Alaqua is the only cost to
attend. Information on this
event is available at www.
emeraldcoastchallenge.com.

place for families to gather
and events to be held along
with a strong emphasis
on creative arts. "I guess I
didn't foresee what was go-
ing to come along. We asked
the community to buy bricks
and I even purchased seats
in my family's memory. We
put on shows just to buy an
air-conditioner for the build-
ing. We raised $10,000 in
the community for that one
item. Even though the the-
ater is its own entity under
a non-profit organization,
it's supposed to be for the
community."
In 2008, Robinson's group
rented the venue last year
for $1,750, which included a
$250 cleaning fee. "In March
2008, I called to reserve the
theater for 2009," said Rob-
inson. "Beth (Campbell)-
Work answered the phone
and when I told her we
wanted to go ahead and re-
serve the space for this year
she told me that she didn't


think they would be renting
the theater anymore. She
told me'the reason was that
they didn't make a profit on
it. But I asked for her to re-
serve our dates anyway in
case they did decide to rent
it, our dates would be on the
books. I went to the theater
a few months later to check
on the dates and the rental
and met with Cindy Roehm.
Cindy told me they had gone
up on the price and were
still not sure they were go-
ing to rent it. She told me
it would be $1,500 per day,
plus $250 to clean up. So I
just said, 'OK, book me for
two nights.' She told me they
had a board meeting coming
up and the board might de-
cide not to rent it at all and
she would let us know. Two
weeks later I received a let-
ter stating they had decided
not to rent it at all."
Robinson said the thought
of the theater turning down
$3,000 in today's economic


climate did not make any
sense to her. When asked
why she thought the rental
was turned down, Robinson
responded, "I think there
"are two reasons. First I was
told that none of the board
members wanted to stay
and house manage the pro-
ductions there at night and
second, because I think it
has become the private do-
main for Beth Campbell-
Work and her productions.
I'm particularly appalled
at how she puts those signs
on the doors saying, 'Your
check is due today!' That's
not us, we don't need to do
that. I resent the people of
DeFuniak being asked to
donate to that theater and
then being shut out of it."
Robinson said if anything
comes from her speaking
out, she hopes that, "We can
see the by-laws followed.

4 Amason's



In b Ashl e 'Amase




A video on YouTube recently caught my attention. It's titled "Lost Generation" and a
young woman narrates the following as it scrolls down the screen:
"I realize this may be a shock, but
'happiness comes from within'
is a lie, and
'money will make me happy.'
So in 30 years I will tell my children
they are not the most important thing in my life.
My employer will know that
I have my priorities straight because
work
Is more important than
family
I tell you this
Once upon a time
Families stayed together
But this will not be true in my era *
This is a quick fix society
Experts tell me
30 years from now I will celebrate the 10th anniversary of my divorce
I do not concede that
I will live in a country of my own making



AARP offers free tax


return preparation


For 41 years AARP has
provided free tax assistance,
return preparation and fil-
ing for low to middle income
families and individuals.
Although the program gives
special attention to seniors,
there is no age criterion and
AARP membership is not
required. Last year over
30,000 AARP TaxAide vol-
unteers filed over two mil-
lion returns at 6,600 sites
nationwide and, most were
filed electronically.' Elec-
trbnic filing. beings, the re-
fund much faster and the
client still receives a paper
copy of the return for their
records. This service is
sponsored by AARP Foun-
dation and the IRS so it is
absolutely free to the client.
Last year in Walton
County, the counselors com-
pleted. 585 returns at four
locations that will be,in op-
eration this year. A new
site, The Life Enrichment
Center has been added this
year. Each site operates on
an appointment system to
reduce congestion and wait-
ing and to assure that the
client's return will be com-
pleted on the day they ex-
pect it to be. With the influx
of several new counselors
they are able to expand the
service.
Walton County free
TaxAide will start the first
week of February and con-
tinue to April 15. Those who
are a shut-in or in a nursing
home and need a counselor
to come to them, should
leave a message at any of

In the future
Environmental destruction will be the norm
No longer can it be said that
My peers and I care about this Earth
It will be evident that
My generation is apathetic and lethargic
It is foolish to presume that
There is hope.
And all of this will come true unless we choose to reverse it."
Now before continuing, read the above, in reverse, line by line, starting with 'There is
hope.'
As the above speech scrolls up the screen in reverse, the narrator finishes, saying "I
know this may be a shock but, I can change the world and I refuse to believe that I am part
of a lost generation."
After I watched this simple video, made for an AARP commercial contest, I sat staring
at the computer screen, reflecting on what I'd heard.
We have become a lost generation. We misconstrue otir priorities. We focus on wealth
itself rather than wealth's intended purpose, to afford us the luxury of spending more time
with our families. We live to work instead of working to live. We forget a world of majesty
and wonder awaits us, instead remembering only the bills and hardships awaiting us.
We are shortsighted, long-winded, half-baked, and full of it. We are high-tech, lowbrow,
thick around the middle, and thin in the wallet. We are quick to make assumptions, slow
to forgive, hard to get along with, and soft where it counts to be strong.
We are analytical, emotional, diabolical, angelic, egotistical, self-sacrificing, impulsive,
walking contradictions with the best of intentions.
Yet it is our choice.
We can choose to reorganize our priorities. We can enjoy our work, but not mistake it
for our life. We can have a life. We can have family dinners around the table rather than
the TV. We can take weekend road trips and summer vacations. We can accept that we're
doing the best we can and stop beating ourselves up. We can refuse to remit our priorities,
our dreams, and our character. We can let go and let God. We can make a difference. We
can reclaim our hope.
We can refuse to believe we are a lost generation.

THEATER
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8-A


board that were there when
I was there. Diversity and
new ideas are a good thing.
I'd also like to see the lo-
cal artistic community feel
more welcome there and be
able to use or rent the build-
ing for more diversified pro-
ductions and shows."
Cindy Roehm, president
of the theater board, told
the Herald that it was con-
flicting schedules with their
own in-house productions
that caused the board to
vote down Robinson's and
others rental request for
the space. "If it fits into our
schedule, we then present it
to the board."
She said insurance rates
have also risen to $500 per
rental and $10,000 a year on
the building itself. "We liter-
ally work to keep the doors
open and pay the insurance.
It's very hard for some rea-
son for us to get insurance
on this building and events.
We had no other course but
to raise our rental rates,"
Roehm said. "Our utilities
are phenomenal. We used
to clean the building our-
self, but now we pay some-
one to clean and I guess the
biggest issue we have, since
technically we have no staff,
only volunteers we are
not technically setup to be
a rental organization. That
is not our primary focus.
Our primary focus when
we fixed this building was
to use it for theater and ar-
tistic programing. For our
needs which our primary
goal is to serve the people of
Walton County. We bought
this building for Florida
Chautauqua, Inc. It's just
like the Little .League fields,
they use their fields for their
leagues. So, our first com-
mitment is to our people.
When we plan our calendar,
our events take precedent."
As far as the theater be-
ing utilized, Roehm -says
the theater is always in use
except for summer months,
"We' do take the summer off.
If you call here in the sum-
mer, it may be weeks before
you get a call back. We found
that we would put in four
intense weeks leading up to
one of our productions and
then, if you rent the next
week, as an all-volunteer or-
ganization, who's going to be
there? Who's going to run it
after you have spent the last
four weeks working so hard
on your own productions." -
Roehm said this has lead
to an a addendum being
added to the rental agree-
ment. "We added a clause
that states when we agree
to rent it, someone on the
board must volunteer to be
here. People say it's not be-
ing used. But they are only
looking at when tickets are
being sold or on opening
night. ye have kids in here
working on their shows six
days a week. Just because a
ticket is not being sold does
not mean it is not being
used."
"We have never said that
the building would not be
rented again. That is the
furthest thing from the
truth. We were approached
by both Chautauqua orga-
nizations this year. Neither
rental request was approved.
One for time's sake we had
a production ongoing and
we were told by another
Chautauqua group that our
facility was not adequate
and we were not prepared
to rent, so we did not rent
to them this year, but that
was simply due to timing. I
feel that is is our responsi-
bility to provide a safe envi-
ronment here. The people of
this town have worked too
hard, our community has
worked too hard for us to
not be good stewards of this
building. We have become
very specific on our rental
contract."
Roehm says much of the


talk surrounding the the-
ater is over a misconcep-
tion. "This is not a public


building. It is owned by a
non-profit organization. We
use -volunteers to build sets.
Many do a wonderful job,
but it may take them longer
to build a set onstage and
then we can't move it during
our rehearsals. Most groups
don't understand that we
are continually under con-
struction during our shows.
When we rent, we do it more
as a service."
"The public funds that
were expended on this build-
ing was for a 10-year period.
The period. was past, over
two years ago. The bottom
line is, if we don't stay in the
black, we will no longer be
in existence. We have been
in existence since 1977. We
have to do productions that
will keep our doors open, but
we also feel a commitment to
the artists in our area and if
we have someone come to do
a show or speak, we may not
be able to pay them much,
.but we feel artists should
be compensated for their
work," Roehm added.
The economy has also
touched the theater. "Our
crowds for the last two
shows have been smaller
than in the past. Our work-
shops are full, but we didn't
have a waiting list this time.
We also had more kids re-
quest scholarships this year
,and several of those schol-
arships are provided for by
donors we have. We are in a
fund-raising campaign right
now. We expect the econo-
my to keep affecting us for
the next year or so," Roehm
said.
"One major source of in-
come and the primary fo-
cus of the theatre has been
its. children's productions.
The parents pay Beth for
the workshops. Those funds
come back to us in the form
of a production and that gen-
erates great revenue for us.
We would love to have more
plays, but the way we're set
up, the only time it -would
be possible would be in the
summer."
Roehm discussed this is-
sue with board members and
their term limits, "I've been
on since the 80s, coming in
and out. About five years ago
there was a push by people
that thought our board had
. been around a long time.
There was a letter that was
sent to our board members,
kind of insinuated that if
you have been around a long
time, you should leave. That
was a tragedy and should
have never have happened.
People that are committed
to something, that's in their.
heart, you can't just walk
away from something. Many
people say this is a Cindy
Roehm/ Beth Campbell-'
Work organization. Right
now, we both probably put
the most hours in here, but
it is by no means run by us.
We have a 13-member board
that makes the decisions for
this theater. "The term limit
for board members is three
years, after which, "Roehm
said, "You're supposed to be
renominated. What if Ann
Robinson or Diane Pickett
had to remove themselves
.from their,.organizations af-
ter three years? If you are
passionate about what you
do, why put a limit on that?
I don't think people should
malign someone for having
a passion and a commit-
ment."
Roehm said, "There is a
perception that we are not
sharing, but we share cos-
tumes with both the Chau-
tauqua and with Grit and
Grace and many more. We
help where we can. We get
letters all the time from
families who are so happy
that their child or grandchil-
dren have a place to learn
theater. It's about the kids
and I think there is room for
everyone here in town. We
are all volunteers here and


we think it's not about the
adults and the bickering, we
think it's about the kids."


Mossy Head Water Works, Inc.
2008 Quality Water Report

We are pleased to announce that our drinking water
meets all federal and state requirements.

We're very pleased to provide you with this year's Annual Water Quality Report. We want to keep you informed about the excel-
lent water and services we have delivered to you over the past year. Our goal is and always has been to provide to you a safe
and dependable supply of drinking water. Our water source is ground water from 3 wells. The wells draw from the Floridan
Aquifer. Because of the excellent quality of our water, the only treatment required is chlorine for disinfection purposes.
In 2008 the Department of Environmental Protection performed a Source Water Assessment on our system and a search of the
data sources indicated no potential sources of contamination near our wells. The assessment results are available on the FDEP
Source Water Assessment and Protection Program website at www.de.state.fl.us.swapp.
If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contact Tom Terrell, President, Mossy
Head Water Works Inc. at (850) 892-6154. We encourage our valued customers to be informed about their water utility. If you
want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings. They are held on the first Monday of each month at
our office building at 7 p.m.
Tips for Saving Water
* Don't over water your lawn. Only water every three to five days in the summer and 10 to 14 days in the winter.
* To prevent water loss from evaporation, don't water your lawn during the hottest part of the day or when it is windy.
Only run the dishwasher and clothes washer when they are fully loaded.
Defrost frozen food in the refrigerator or in the microwave instead of running water over it.
* When washing dishes by hand, use two basins one for washing and one for rinsing rather than let the water run.
* Use a broom, rather than a hose, to clean sidewalks and driveways.
* If you have a swimming pool, get a cover. You'll cut the loss of water by evaporation by 90 percent.
* Repair dripping faucets and leaky toilets. Dripping faucets can waste about 2,000 gallons of water each year. Leaky toilets can
waste as much as 200 gallons each day.
Mossy Head Water Works Inc. routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws,
rules, and regulations. Except where indicated otherwise, this report is based on the results of our monitoring for the period of
January 1 to December .31, 2008. Data obtained before January 1, 2008, and presented in this report are from the most recent
testing done in accordance with the laws, rules, and regulations.
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and
wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it,dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some
cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the EPA prescribes regulations, which limit the amount of certain contaminants
in water provided by public water systems. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contami-
nants in bottled water, which must provide the same protection for public health.
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably.be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants.
The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contami-
nants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline
at 1-800-426-4791.
Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
(A) Microbial contaminants, such as Viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agri-
cultural livestock operations, and wildlife.
(B) Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff,
industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming.
(C) Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and resi-
dential uses.
(D) Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial proc-
esses and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems.
(E) Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

In the table below,'you may find unfamiliar terms and abbreviations. To help you better understand these terms we've provided
the following definitions:
Maximum Contaminant Level or MCL: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as
close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.
Maximum Contaminant Level Goal or MCLG: The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or
expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
Action Level (AL): The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements that a water
system must follow.
Picocurie per liter (pCi/L) measure of the radioactivity in water.
"ND" means not detected and indicates that the substance was not found by laboratory analysis.
Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/ll) one part by weight of analyte to 1 million parts by; weight of the water
sample. '
Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter (ug/l) one part by weight of analyte toi1 billion parts by weight of the water
sample.
Maximum residential disinfectant level or MRDL The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is con-
vincing evidence thbtaddition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.
Maximum residential disinfectant level goal or MRDLG The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no
known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect .the benefits of the use of disiAfectahiftsfo control microbial
contaminants.
Initial Distribution System Evaluation (IDSE): An important part of the Stage 2 Disinfection Byproducts locations with high con-
centrationsof trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs). Water systems will use results from:the IDSE, in conjunction
with their Stage 1 DBPR compliance monitoring data, to select compliance monitoring locations for the Stage 2 DBPR.

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead
in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Mossy Head
Water Works is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing
components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing
your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water,
you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to mini-
mize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compro-
mised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ trans-
plants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk
from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC
guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbiological contami-
nants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
We at the Mossy Head Water Works Inc. work daily to insure that our customers are provided with the highest quality drinking
water available. We encourage all members to become actively involved in the business of your system.

Want to walk



the labyrinth?


THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19,2009


By MELINDA C.
HENDERSON, PH.D

We are very fortunate to
have the Rev. Kerry Holder-
Joffrion as a keynote speaker
on opening day (Friday, Feb.
20) of the Florida Chautau-
qua Assembly. In conjunc-
tion with her presentation
on Labyrinths, to be held at
the First United Methodist
Church at 10:15 a.m., a can-
vas labyrinth will be avail-
able in the adjoining park-
ing lot for our enjoyment.
Labyrinths have been
known to the human race
for over 3,500 years. They
have been used in religious
or spiritual ways by many
peoples, as solar and lunar
calendars and as part of
an elaborate Hopi Indian
creation myth. The .old-
est Christian labyrinth is
probably the fourth century
one found in Orleansville,
Algeria. Labyrinths flour-
ished in medieval Europe
where pilgrims, who were
unable to make it to Jeru-
salem, used them as a sub-
stitute for a journey to the
Holy City. Yet we also know
that labyrinths date back to
pre-historic times and, as'
a sacred space, have been
an integral part. of many


cultures such as Celtic,
Mayan, Greek, Cretan and
Native American. Today,
Labyrinths are being used
around the world as medi-
tation and healing tools
in parks, hospitals, treat-
ment centers, private gar-
dens, homes, and churches.
There are 35 labyrinths in
Florida. The closest ones to
us are: Redeemer Catholic
Church, Destin; Holy Na-
tivity Episcopal Church, Do-
than; Troy University, Troy;
and at Audubon Park, New
Orleans.
We are attracted to heal-
ing tools such as the laby-
rinth because they help
deepen self-knowledge and
empower our creativity.
Walking the labyrinth helps
clear the mind and gives in-
sight into our life journey.
It calms us in the throes of
turmoil and helps us to see
life in the context of a path.
To those in sorrow, it can
aid in achieving solace and
peace. Recent research has
found positive benefits for
those suffering from post-
traumatic stress syndrome
and for children dealing
with the trauma of sexual
abuse.
The journey of the laby-
rinth is different for every-


one because we bring our
own uniqueness to the path.
The two main ways for
meditative walking are: (1)
The way of silence (you may
focus on your breathing as
you walk); and (2) The way
of image (recite a phrase
or prayer repeatedly or fo-
cus on an object or person).
Both ways are designed to
help you to open your heart
and mind. Walking into the
labyrinth you let go or emp-
* ty yourself of distracting
thoughts. Your time in the
center is for illumination
or clarity of sight. Walking-
out of the labyrinth signi-
fies union, initiation, inte-
gration and being active, in
the world. Your experience
will grow and deepen the
more you walk the labyrinth
path. "
The Rev. Kerry Holder-
Joffrion is a specialized
ministry consultant at the
Interfaith Mission Service
in Huntsville, AL. She is an
honor graduate of Furman
.University (psychology, re-
ligion) and also of Princeton
Theological Seminary (faith
and society, pastoral care).

Try to hear this speaker
who will focus on the laby-
rinth as a tool for communi-
ty healing, individual heal-
ing and pilgrimage. Since
Chautauqua is a place of
intellectual, recreational,
spiritual and artistic pil-
grimage, her thoughts and
experiences can ready each
of us to answer the ques-
tion, "How do we get there
from here?" If you want to
walk the labyrinth this Fri-


day (11-5), the Daughters
of the King (a prayer order)
from St. Agatha's Episcopal
Church will be at the laby-
rinth to assist you. Come,
walk this canvas labyrinth
which is provided, courtesy
of the Episcopal Diocese of
the Central Gulf Coast, for
our use. If you think our
city could benefit from the
construction of a permanent
labyrinth a group is assess-
ing the feasibility of such a
project. Your opinions about
this can be directed to the
City Council by letter.

Go Green Express



tour ends in



DeFuniak Springs


By JEFFREY POWELL

The United States of
America reportedly uses
more energy per capital
than any other nation in the
world. Globally, fossil fuel
consumption is at an all-
time high with no foresee-
able decline in sight. Many
scientists insist humans are
contributing to global warm-
ing conditions that could en-
danger the balance of life on
Earth. With these thoughts
in mind local resident Ro-
bRoy McGregor recently set
out on a bicycle tour of the
state to instigate awareness
and discussion concerning
environmental issues.
McGregor started his Go
Green Express ride on Jan.
8, leaving the 32nd Annual
Scottish Highlands Festi-


val in Orlando. From there
he proceeded to the Social
Networking Conference in
Miami, were Ford Motor
Company Global Communi-
cations Director Scott Monty
was a speaker.
"I attended this confer-
ence to educate myself and
network with people in
the green jobs industry,"
McGregor said. "I am look-
ing -for a position on the
green team."
From Miami, McGregor
headed west to the Ford
and Edison Winter Retreat
located on McGregor Boule-
vard in Fort Myers. Then he
proceeded north to Tampa,
where the Super Bowl was
being held.
"The main reason I took
this tour was to encourage
positive thinking toward


renewable energy creation
and deployment of green
jobs," he said. "I also hope to
acquire a green job for my-
self."
The last event McGregor
attended was the Florida
Alliance for Renewable En-
ergy Conference in Tallahas-
see, and then it was back to
Defuniak Springs on Feb. 7,
and a final lap around Lake
DeFuniak.
"This was an amazing
trip. I met so many amaz-
ing people," McGregor said
proudly. "When I made that
final lap around the lake I
just wanted to lay down. I
was so happy to be home,
what a wonderful experi-
ence this has been."

SLEEPLESS IN


SEATTLE


By ASHLEY AMASON
Seated between the ma-
jestic Olympic and Cascade
Mountains, on the mouth of
Puget Sound is the largest
city in the Pacific Northwest,
a hub of arts, industry, cul-
tural integration, nightlife,
and sports-Seattle.
Settled in the early 1850s
and named after a Native
American chief, the city has
long been a center of indus-
try: shipbuilding, manufac-
turing aircraft, commercial
fishing, port trading, and
hydroelectricity.
Seattle's population grew
rapidly during the gold rush
and the Alaska-Yukon-Pa-
cific Exposition in the early
20th century. Still a center
of industry today, home to
Microsoft and Boeing Com-
pany, Seattle's population
climbed to over 592,000.
Sculptures line the city
streets and parks, showcas-
ing Seattle's appreciation
for the arts. The Seattle Art
Museum is home to works
by Jackson Pollock, Mark
Rothko, Edward Hopper,
John Singer Sargent and
countless other paradigm-
shifting artists.
Amidst the Seattle Cen-
ter is an unmistakable
sculpture, the 140,000
square foot Experience Mu-
sic Project/ Science Fiction
Museum designed by Frank
0. Gehry. Gehry is one of
the most sought-after and
celebrated architects of our
time, designing buildings
around the world, includ-
ing the American Center
at Paris, the Guggenheim
Museum Bilbao in Spain,
the Vitra Design Museum
in Germany, and the Walt
Disney Concert Hall in Los
Angeles.
The Seattle Public Li-
brary is an architectural
work of art, designed by
Rem Koolhaas. Holding over
two million books, CDs, and
DVDs, the visually stunning
library stands ten stories


tall, with an observation
room on the top floor boast-
ing breathtaking views of
the skyline.
The best view of Seattle
comes from the symbol of
the Seattle skyline itself,
the Space Needle.. Built in
1962 for the World's Fair,
the Space Needle stands 605
feet high. The observation
deck at 520 feet offers clear
views of the Seattle skyline
and the surrounding moun-
tain ranges and bays.
The gray days do noth-
ing to dampen the spirits
of those who live in the gor-
geous city of Seattle. With
so much to do-the Mari-
ners, the Seahawks, and the
University of Washington
Huskies to keep sports fans
occupied, the Seattle Art
Museum, Olympic Sculp-
ture Park, and the Seattle
Opera to keep art aficiona-
dos .busy, and the natural
beauty of the Cascade and
Olympic Mountains, Puget
Sound, and the famous Mt.
Rainier- it's no wonder
everyone is sleepless in Se-
attle.


AT 520 FEET, the observation deck of the Space Needle
showcases the city lights at night.


.. - PA


OLYMPIC SCULPTURE Park is home fo some of the
city's most innovative sculptures, and still offers great views
of the skyline.


THE SEATTLE Public Library designed by Rem Kool-
haas holds over two million items.


SUNSETIN SEATTLE, over Puget Sound and the Olym-
pic Mountains is absolutely breathtaking.


PIKE'S MARKETPLACE is the place to shop in Seattle,
famous for the fish-throwers and street musicians.

Dear Auntie Em,
I am having' a problem
with stress. Whether it is the
jerk slamming on brakes or
trying to kill us all by pass-
ing in a no-passing zone, to
the person who gets into the
20-item line with a buggy
full of groceries, I am find-
ing myself with a shorter
and shorter temper.
I have never been a rude
person, but I have been say-
ing and behaving in ways
I am not proud of and it's
bothering me. I'm Worried
I'm just going to snap and do
or say something that I can't
take back. How can. I con-
trol and deal with the way
everything is on my nerves,
lately? I really need help be-
fore I end up on You Tube,
having some sort of fit. Any
advice is greatly needed and
appreciated.

pet peeves that annoy us,
but when we are unable to
control our instinct against
lashing out at those who are
clouding up the gene pool,
we need to take a step back
and make sure we do not
become, worse than what is
bothering us. There are a
few things we can do.
First, do an inventory on
what else is going on in your
life. Illness, money prob-
lems, relationship problems
and stress always leads us
to have a shorter fuse. Much
like willpower, patience also
has a finite source that can
be drained easily. So, do a
self-inventory. ,
Next, acknowledge your
irritation. Don't stuff it
down, but express it in the
healthiest way possible. Tell
a friend that is a calm force
in your life, write it down
in a journal, put it on your
Facebook page, blog it, just
anything to get it out after
you cool off a little.,
Perspective comes next
and seek it wholeheartedly.
Remember to put yourself in
that person's shoes. They do
not have an agenda to ag-


gravate you exclusively. We
are all trying to get home
to our families, pick up our
groceries and go wherever
we are supposed to at a cer-
tain time. Yes, there are just
some certified jerks in the
world, but most people don't
fall in that range. The mom
that cut you off on your way
to work this morning may
have been trying to calm a
sick child or in a rush be-
cause said child tossed her
breakfast and mom had to
change and is now late and
worried about-her job that
pays the insurance for that
child.
More often than not,
those who bother us are just
trying to live their lives and
not annoy the rest of us,
even though it seems that
some have a real gift for it.
Finally, think about what
you are grateful for in your
life. Gratitude journals
became all the rage a few
years back, because just fo-
cusing on what is right in
our lives gives us the ability
to be more forgiving to those
who seem to be at lose ends.
I can always find things for

which I am grateful. When I
get cut off in traffic, I say a
little prayer and give thanks
for the fact that I have a
a job to get to and a car to
drive. That always seems to
do the trick for me. Try it.
You will find yourself
more grateful and less an-
noyed each day you practice
gratitude. And remember,
some days we are the ones
doing the cutting off, so for-
giveness is also a part of
gratitude, and always worth
much more than the breath
we expend to ask for it.
Good luck and God bless,

The Lord Christ
and
condemnation

Recall, if you will, the in-
cident in the Gospel of John
8:1-11. Those who brought
a woman to Jesus, accused
her of adultery. Why did not
Christ condemn her? The
mob with her shouts some-
thing about stoning her. If
the Christ says no, He repu-
diates the law of Moses. If
He permits the stoning, He
flaunts the law of Rome. If
He says that they should let
her go, He condones sin.
If He condemns her, He is
not the merciful Savior the
multitudes believe Him to
be.
Instead, Jesus says, "He
that is without sin among
you, let him cast a stone at
her." Why?
Because only God has a
right to judge these matters.
Because of our sins, our
judgments are biased. Be-
cause of our limited knowl-
edge and understanding of
another's heart, we do not
know all the facts. Because
only the righteousness and
the knowledge of God is suf-
ficient for judgment, and
even He waits until the end
of our earthly life.
Jesus asks, "Woman,
where are those thine ac-
cusers? Hath no man con-
demned thee?" Note that
she blames nobody else.
She offers no excuse for her


Take-outs are available. The

conduct. She does not try to
justify herself. .She knows
that her only hope is to fol-
low the Christ of God.
Jesus has something far
better to offer than condem-
nation. Look at John 3:16,
17. Instead of condemna-
tion, He gave her forgive-
ness. He gave 'it because
she could not have earned
it. Nor can we turn back life
and wipe away sin's stain.
When we receive Christ, He
gives the needed forgive-
ness. She was condemned
already, and Christ alone
has the grace to forgive a
sinner. And He does it free-
ly to all who receive Him as
Lord and Savior.

Ministry event to be held


Fresh Ideas is a Women's
Ministry event that will im-
pact you, your church, your
community, and eternity.
This ministry will help
change our focus from our-
selves to our God, from our
church friends to the lost
world, and help us. change
from a "me" mentality to a
"go ye" mentality. The pro-
gram will help change .the
participant's focus in a way
that will glorify God. It will
show how to focus outward
in order to impact the world
for God. It is designed for
personal growth and* spiri-
tual growth, but the fo-
cal point is the "ministry


team" accomplishing hands
on ministry in Jesus' name.
The guest speaker will be
Linda Hinson.
Linda Hinson is a Uni-
versity of Florida graduate,
mother of two and grand-
mother of two. She and her
husband, Jim, live in Pensa-
cola and attend First Bap-
tist Church where Linda is
director of Women's Min-
istries. -She has worked in
Women's Ministries, for the
last eight years. While serv-
ing on the women's advisory
council for the Florida Bap-
tist Convention, she has led
sessions at state conven-
tion-sponsored training con-


ferences and retreats. Her
desire is to help women be
all that God wants them to
be.
The event, hosted by the
Walton County Baptist As-
sociation WMU, will take
place at Calvary Baptist
Church on Feb. 19, begin-
.ning at 6:30 p.m. There is
no cost to attend; however,
there will be a dinner of
soup and sandwiches so
please RSVP.
Anyone with a heart for
missions is invited to at-
tend. If you are interested
call 892-2793 for more infor-
mation.
Everyone is invited.


Dr. G. Charles Satterwhite
* One detail that is not men-
tioned, in D.C., is that there
can never be a building of
greater height than the
Washington Monument.
*. With all the uproar about
removing the Ten Com-
mandments, etc.. This is
worth a moment or two of
your time. I was not aware
of this historical informa-
tion.
*. On the aluminum cap,
atop the Washington Mon-,
ument in Washington, DC,
are displayed two words:
Laus Deo. No one can see
these words. In fact, most
visitors to the, monument
are totally unaware they
are even there and for that
matter, probably couldn't
care less.
* Once you know Laus
Deo's history, you will want
to share this with everyone
you know. But these words
have been there for many
years; they are 555 feet,
5.125 inches high, perched.
atop the monument, facing
skyward to the Father of
our nation, overlooking the
69 square miles which com-
prise the District of Colum-
bia, capital of the United
States of America.
SLaus Deo! Two seem-
ingly insignificant, unno-
ticed words. Out -of sight
and, one might think, out
of mind, but very meaning-
fully placed at the highest
point over what is the most
powerful city in the most
successful nation in the
world. '
* So, what do those two
words, in Latin, composed
of just four syllables and
only seven letters, possibly
mean? Very simply, they
say "Praise.be to God!"
* Though construction of
this giant obelisk began
in 1848, when James Polk
was President of the United


States, it was not until 1888
that the monument was in-
augurated and opened to
the public. It took 25 years
to finally cap the memorial
with a tribute to the Fa-
ther of our nation, Laus Deo
Praise be to God!"
*, From atop this magnifi-
cent granite and marble
structure, visitors may take
in the beautiful panoramic
view of the city with its di-
vision into four major seg-
ments. From that vantage
point, one can also easily
see the original plan of the
designer, Pierre Charles L
Enfant, .a perfect cross im-
posed upon the landscape,
with the White House to
the north. The Jefferson
Memorial is to the south,
the Capitol to the east and
the Lincoln Memorial to 'the
west.
* A cross you ask? Why a
cross? What about separa-
tion of church and state?
Yes, a cross; separation of
church and state was not,
is not, in the, Constitution.
So, read on. How interest-
ing and, no doubt,. intended
to carry a profound meaning
for those who bother to no-
tice.
* Praise be to God! Within
the monument itself are 898
steps and 50 landings. As
one climbs the steps and
pauses at the landings the
memorial stones share a
message. On the 12th land-
ing is a prayer offered by the
city of Baltimore; on the 20th
is a memorial presented by
some Chinese Christians;
on the 24th a presentation
made by Sunday School
children from New York and
Philadelphia. quoting Prov-
erbs 10:7, Luke 18:16, and
Proverbs 22:6. Praise be to
God!
* When the cornerstone of
the Washington Monument
was laid on July 4, 1848, de-
posited within it were many
items including the Holy
Bible presented by the Bible
Society. Praise be to God!
Such was the -discipline,
the moral direction, and
the spiritual mood given by
the founder and first presi-
dent of our unique democ-


racy -"One Nation, Under
God."
* I am awed by Washing-
ton's prayer. for America.
Have you never read it?
Well, now is your unique op-
portunity, so read on!
* "Almighty God; We make
our earnest prayer that
Thou wilt keep the United
States in Thy holy protec-
tion; that Thou wilt incline
the hearts of the citizens to
cultivate a spirit of subor-
dination and obedience to
government; and entertain
a brotherly affection and
love for one another and for
their fellow citizens of the
United states at large. And
finally that Thou wilt most
graciously be pleased to dis-
pose us all to do justice, to
love mercy, and to demean
ourselves with. that charity,
humility, and pacific tem-
per of mind which were the
characteristics of the Divine
Author of our blessed reli-
gion, and without a humble
imitation of whose example
in these things we can never
hope to be a happy nation.
Grant our supplication, we
beseech Thee, through Je-
sus Christ our Lord. Amen."
Lauts Deo!
* When one stops to observe
the inscriptions found in
public places all over our na-
tion's capitol, he or she will
easily find the signature of
God, as it is unmistakably
inscribed everywhere you
look. You may 'forget the
width and height of "Laus
Deo," its location, or the
architects but no one who
reads this will be able to
forget its meaning, or these
words: "Unless the Lord
builds the house its build-
ers labor in vain. Unless the
Lord watches over the city,
the watchmen stand guard
in vain." (Psalm 127: 1)
* It is hoped you will send
this to every child you know;
to every sister, brother, fa-
ther, mother or friend. They
will not find offense, be-
cause you have given them
a lesson in history that they-
probably never learned in
school.

Paxton boys win district title


By PATRICK CASEY
Injuries to Shaq Jackson
and Colby Forehand did not
slow the Paxton Bobcats on
their, journey to a second
consecutive district cham-
pionship as the host for the
district tournament knocked
off Laurel Hill 66-41 on Sat-
urday night to claim the
District 1, Class A crown.


Dan Geoghagan contin-
ued his hot shooting of late
and scored 20 points, while
Demetrius Moore added 16
points and Zack Vickers 10
as Paxton improved to 23-4
on the year and earned a
first-round home playoff
game on Thursday against
Malone.
Paxton got to the title


game after dispatching Cen-
tral on Friday night 59-28 as
Vickers put up 16 points in
that win. The Bobcats had
no trouble with Central, de-
feating the Jaguars for the
third time this year as they
raced to a 34-11 halftime
advantage and never looked
back.
Laurel Hill also went


down for the third time as
Paxton started the third
quarter with a 9-0 run to
build a 35-18 lead that was
more than enough to send
the Bobcats to the district
title.
Game notes: Paxton will
be making its 14th appear-
ance in the state playoffs
and holds a 13-11 record


in 24 games. The Bobcats
made it to the Region Final
for the first time since they
won the 1962 Class C title.
The Bobcats will face a fa-
miliar foe in the first round
as Malone comes to town on
Thursday. The Bobcats are
only 1-3 against the Tigers
in the playoffs, but handled
them 77-56 last year in


Paxton. The Bobcats have
never won first round play-
off games in back-to-back
years, so history will be on
the line. Graceville edged
Malone 57-56 in Malone on
Saturday night to send the
Tigers on the road. A win
over Malone could send Pax-
ton to Graceville on Tuesday
night in the second round.


Area girls basketball teams win playoff games


By PATRICK CASEY
Walton, Ponce de Leon
and Paxton all won their
first round playoff games on
Thursday to advance to the
second round of the Florida
High School Athletic As-
sociation's girls basketball
playoffs. Walton got off to a
15-0 start as they handled
Chipley with an 82-64 vic-
tory that avenged a loss to
the Tigers on the road last
season at the buzzer.
Paxton took care of a loss
to Bethlehem in November


by posting a 60-55 victory
over the Wildcats in Pax-
ton.

Ponce de Leon defeated
Blountstown for the second
consecutive year in the first
round at home 51-25.
Each of the victories pro-
pel the three teams into the
second round which were
played on Tuesday, Febru-
ary 17. (Details were not
available as the Herald
went to press Tuesday.)
Surprisingly, all three area
"A


schools had to make a trek
to Jackson County as Wal-
ton took on Marianna while
Paxton faced Graceville and
Ponce de Leon went to Cot-
tondale. If any of the three
local teams win on Tuesday,
a Region final would be next
on the menu on Saturday,
February 21.
Walton (19-7) got 21
points from Lee Paulk and
19 from Jasmine Moore as
the Braves broke a six-game
losing streak to Chipley with
the ,victory.


Pakton's Erin Walker
scored 21 points and the
Bobcats forward tamed the
Bethlehem Wildcats with
her play in the post. Stevie
Davidson scored 14 points
and hit 12-of-14 free throws
in the second half as Paxton
(20-6) overcame turnover
problems to end the Wild-
cats season.
Sha-Lea Yates scored 15
points as PDL (21-6) ran.
to a 34-11 halftime lead
against the Tigers and han-
dled Blountstown by a large


margin for the second year
in a row.

Game Notes: Walton's
win over Chipley was the
Braves first in the playoffs
since they ,defeated Wild-
wood 42-33 in Lakeland in
1996. The Lady Braves are
17-14 in 31 playoff games in
school history. If records are
correct, PDL has not won a
game in Cottondale since


the 1996-97 season. The Pi-
rates have had six consecu-
tive seasons of 20 or more
wins. Pa'xton has not played
in Graceville since the 1996-
97 season when they played
three games in the Tigers
Christmas tournament.
Paxton went 26-2 that year

Sports News & Notes


By PATRICK CASEY
South Walton's baseball
team lost to Chipley in a
pre-season game in Chipley
11-4 on Thursday.
The Northwest Florida
State men's basketball team
is 4-7 in conference play and
will see their season end on
February 17 when they play
at Tallahassee Community
College. The are 20-7 over-
all, but after a 16-0 start
in non-conference play, the
team was unable to win sev-
eral close contests in confer-
ence play since early Janu-
ary.
The Northwest Florida
State women's basketball
team started 14-1 in non-
conference play but( have
tallied only a 5-6 confer-
ence mark entering their
final game at Tallahassee
Community College. The
Lady Raiders may be able
to eke out a playoff spot as
the Panhandle Conference
sends three teams to the
state tournament.
The Northwest Florida
State baseball team is off
to a 6-3 start and will host
Shelton State on .Wednes-
day, February 18, at 3 p.m.
The Northwest Florida
'State softball team is 3-1
and will play in Mobile
against Springhill College
on Wednesday, February-
18, in a double-header start-
ing at 1 p.m.
Former Jacksonville Ea-
gle's View baseball player
Josh Adams has been named
to Baseball America's Pre-
season All-SEC Team. You
may recall that Adams
played against Paxton a few
seasons ago in one of their
Region final battles. Adams
is a sophomore for the Flor-
ida Gatois and plays third


base. Last year he hit .330
with eight home runs and
51 RBIs.
Bowing to pressure from
ESPN, Miami and Florida
State have agreed to open
their 2009 football schedule
with a September 7 meeting
in Tallahassee. The game
will be the only one shown
on national television on
Labor Day night on ESPN,
but it took some wran-
gling to talk the Seminoles
into doing so. Monday and
Thursday night games are
not popular with most SEC
teams and FSU does not


prefer to play a home game
on those nights because- it
cuts down on the ability for
some of their fan base to
make the drive to Tallahas-
see from Central and South
Florida with a work day
scheduled for the next day.
To play Miami, FSU had to
cancel its game with Maine
as the Seminoles will now
face Jacksonville State on
September 12, just five days
after FSU plays Miami.

percent from the field aver-
aging 22 points and eight
rebounds in 32.5 minutes of
play.
Erin Walker- The Pax-
ton junior scored 21 points

work as Paxton beat the
Wildcats 60-55 in a first
round playoff game last
week.
Jerry Byrd- The Ponce
de Leon forward scored 20
points in helping the Pirates
rally past Jay 68-64 in the
opening round of district

packing as Walton got re-
venge 82-64 after losing at
the buzzer to the Tigers in
the first round last year.

Africa comes to life for Walton County students


The 14th Annual Florida
Chautauqua Assembly pre-


sented "Journey Through
Africa" this past weekend


at the Walton County Fair-
grounds. Walton County
Schools participated in cre-
ating free-standing exhib-
its for the event, some as
large as ten-feet wide, were
displayed on each of the 53
countries of Africa.
Exhibits designed by
students from elementary
school through high school
worked diligently to find cre-
ative ways to educate all of
us on this fascinating region
of the world. Visitors were
invited to vote on a favorite
exhibit for cash awards.
A cash award of $100 was


presented to each winner
by Chris Mitchell with the
Florida Chautauqua Assem-
bly to the teachers of the
winning booths at the Tues-
day, Feb. 3, Walton County
School Board meeting.
Ms. Sandi Miller's class
won the elementary school
booth representing Egypt.
Mr. Jeremy Deal's class won
for middle school represent-
ing the country of Mozam-
bique, and Mr. Glen Har-
rison's class won the high
school booth representing
the country of Namibia.
The hands-on learning


project provided students
with the opportunity to
learn about the lifestyles
and cultures of the African
countries. Students built
straw huts, created large
giraffes, light-up maps, vid-
eos, and even mummified a
chicken to learn about life in
Africa. Student creativity
came to life with unbeliev-
able artwork and replicas of
native Africa.
Visit http://www.walton.
k12.fl.us/news/Video/Africa
2009_0001.wmv for a video
of the student's participa-
tion.


The four day conference
included special guests
Naomi Tutu, daughter of
Archbishop Desmond Tutu,
Jim Fowler, former co-star
of Mutual of Omaha's Wild
Kingdom, Teddy Roosevelt
impersonator Joe Wiegand,
who shared with students
experiences from his Africa
visits, and many more. The
weekend was packed with
special events, exhibits, and
performances celebrating
Africa. For more informa-
tion about the event, visit

South Walton boys make history


By PATRICK CASEY
The South Walton boys
basketball team defeated
Walton in overtime Friday
night in Northview in a
semi-final District 1, Class
3A basketball contest 67-
60 to earn their first playoff
berth in school history in
the sport.
Dylan Smith scored 25
points and hit several key
free throws down the stretch
and John Davies' team
earned its 19th win of the
season, and first ever over
Walton in boys basketball,
to reach the Class 3A play-
offs, which begin on Thurs-
day, February 19.
South Walton held an
0-11 record against Walton
since they began basket-
ball play during the 2003-
04 season before outscoring
Walton 25-10 in the fourth


quarter to tie the game at
52-52 and send the contest
into overtime with a playoff
berth in the balance.
The Seahawks were able
to get to the free-throw line
during the extra four min-
utes and put up a 15-8 ad-
vantage in overtime to claim
the win and trip to Mari-
anna to face the District 2
champs on February 19.
The loss was particularly
damaging to a Walton team
that ends the year with a 14-
12 record and will miss the
playoffs for the first time in
five years. James Towery led
Walton with 22 points, but
the Braves suffered several
unfortunate turnovers and
hit only 7-of-16 free throws
as South Walton was able to
pull off the unlikely rally.
Jordan Colson scored 16
points and David Key had


13 before fouling out in the
'second half. South Walton
hit 22-of-36 free throws on
the night and Smith played
the hero as he scored 17 of
his 25 points in the final 12
minutes of the game.
South Walton was not
able to turn the semi-final
win into the district title
as Pensacola Catholic held
off the Seahawks 51-43 on
Saturday night to claim the
title. Dylan .Smith again led
the way with 12 points, but
no other South Walton play-
er hit double figures on the
night.
South Walton struggled
with turnovers throughout
the game as the Crusaders
built a 27-18 halftime lead.
The Seahawks were not
able to hit many perimeter
shots and the physical play
underneath limited both


teams chances for easy put-
back baskets. Tony Weath-
ers scored 13 points and
Pensacola Catholic hit 17-
of-25 free throws to hold on
for the district crown.

The Seahawks made
the playoffs despite play-
ing without their leading
scorer, junior Jake Wright.
who suffered a foot injury
two weeks ago and has been
unavailable since.
"I told the guys we could
do this and we got close."
coach John Davies said.
"They have worked hard and
will get to experience playoff
basketball this week."
South Walton 119-81 will
Travel to Marianna (18-7) to
face the Bulldogs after they
escaped a trip to Chipley
with a 49-46 win for the Dis-
trict 2 title.


Game Notes: South Wal-
ton will have their hands
full as Marianna made the
Final Four last season and
will be one of the favorites
to play in the Region Final
again this year. After a 4-23
season last year, the squad
went 19-8 this season in Da-


vies' second year. The win
over Walton also appears
to be the boys basketball
team's first win in overtime
in school history. The 19
wins are the most in a single
season, nine wins was the
previous high under former
coach Mark Cozzie.


SOUTH IIALTON'S DY.
LAN SMITH(12) scored
25 points as the Seahauwks
defeated WIalton for the
first time in school 67-60 in
overtime to earn a playoff '
berth in Class 3A on Friday
night.

Freeport boys grab playoff berth


By PATRICK CASEY
The Freeport Bulldogs
boys basketball team had a
busy week last week. They
played three games in the
span of five days to deter-
mine the fate of their 2008-
09 season in Ponce de Leon
in the District 1, Class 2A
tournament. It was a fruit-
ful event for the Bulldogs
and they posted a 2-1 re-
cord, earning a state playoff
berth and runner-up nod to
the Baker Gators in making
the tournament's champion-
ship game.
Baker defeated Freeport
59-47 in the final, but the
Bulldogs qualified for the
post-season with a 53-43 vic-
tory over Pensacola Chris-



-- :'4,- .I


tian in the semi-final. The
Bulldogs will travel to Cot-
tondale to face the Hornets
in an opening round game
on Thursday, February 19.
Freeport opened the tour-
nament by beating Vernon
for the third time this sea-
son 69-50. The Bulldogs
rallied from a sluggish first
quarter to take a 36-25 half-
time lead. Johnny McCor-
mick scored 26 points while
Alex Newkirk added 20 and
the Bulldogs beat Vernon by
a large margin yet again.
Friday night's game with
Pensacola Christian had the
third-seeded Bulldogs fac-
ing a team that they had
lost two both times in the
regular season. The semi-


final proved to be a differ-
ent story as Freeport con-
centrated on shutting down
Mike Goestch, the Warriors'
top scorer. He bould man-
age only eight points on the
night as Michael Graziani
limited his shooting chanc-
es, holding Goetsch to far
less than his 20 points per
game average.

The Bulldogs trailed 20-
19 at halftime but outscored
Pensacola Christian in both
of the final two quarters of
play to pull out a 53-43 win.
McCormick, who is the Area
5's top scorer, again put up
20 points while Graziani
added 12 and Alex Newkirk
10. Newkirk fouled out in


the fourth quarter, but his
teammates forced several
turnovers over the final few
minutes of the game and
the Warriors went cold from
the floor, bringing an end to
the comeback attempt and
the end of the season to last
year's Final Four partici-
pant:.
Freeport battled district
favorite Baker in the final
game of the tourney and
trailed only 29-27 at half-
time to the Gators, but could
not find enough offense.to
upend the 23-3 squad. Mc-
Cormick again led the way
with 18 points while Newk-
irk added 16, but Freeport
struggled to contain the vet-
eran Gators team as Jarrod


Batson hurt the Bulldogs on
the interior with 22 points.
Baker swept the Bulldogs in
all three meetings this sea-
son and will host
Panama City Bozeman in
the opening 'round while
Freeport (15-12) will travel
to District 2 champion Cot-
tondale (17-10) on Thurs-
day, February 19.
Ponce de Leon was the
host for the event and won
their opening game over Jay
with a come-from-behind 68-
64 victory in the first round.
Jerry Byrd had a superb
night as he scored 20 points
in the game with Colton
Campbell scoring 11 points
and Tory Serigne with 10.
The Pirates had to post a
26-15 scoring advantage in
the fourth quarter to rally
for the win as they made
just enough free throws (14-
26) to hold on for the win.
The Pirates could not find
the same comeback effort
against Baker in the Friday
night semi-final as they fell
behind 22-6 at the end of
the first quarter and could
never get the margin back
to single digits the rest of
the way. Turnovers, which
plagued the Pirates all sea-
son long, became their undo-
ing as Baker took advantage
to roll up a 39-19 halftime
lead.


The Pirates got within ten
points in the fourth quarter
but Baker responded by
running the margin back up
to 15 as they posted a 68-49
win to end the Pirates sea-
son at 11-17.
PDL got 14 points from
Tory Serigne and 13 from
Joe Arrant as seven Pirates
seniors played their final
game on their, home floor.
Game Notes: Freeport
and Cottondale will be an
interesting match-up. The
Bulldogs lost to Cottondale
in the first round of the play-
offs 67-60 at the end of the
2005-06 season at home and
haven't won in Cottondale
since February of 1996. The
two teams have not played
often in basketball over the
last 12 years and the Cotton-
dale gymnasium is a small
facility that has the fans
right on top of the action.
Freeport is 5-4 in the state
tournament playoffs and
won the 1968 Class C state
championship when cur-
rent coach David Burke was
a player for Aubrey Rentz.
However, the Bulldogs have
won only one playoff game
,in the last 40 years with
that coming in 2006 when
Freeport beat Ponce de Leon
75-67 at home. Freeport has
had five consecutive win-
ning seasons.


FREEPORT'S JOHNNY MCCORMICK(21) scored 26
points as the Bulldogs defeated Vernon for the third time
this season 69-50 in the opening round of the District 1,
Class 2A tournament in Ponce de Leon.


FREEPORT'S ALEX NEWKIRK scored 20 points as the
Bulldogs defeated Vernon in PDL on Tuesday.
... ... .- -. : ":. .. r ''- :


FREEPORT'S ALEX NEWKIRK(15) has to apply the
brakes as Pensacola Christian gets back on defense during
the Bulldogs game with the Warriors last week. The Bull-
dogs won the third meeting betweenthe two teams after be-
ing swept in the regular season.


FREEPORT'S CHASE MARTIN(25) goes up for a lay-up
during the Bulldogs 53-43 win over Pensacola Christian in
a district semi-final contest on Friday. The Bulldogs earned
a playoff berth with the victory.


THIS 9-POINT BUCK was killed by Bill Doering on his
property South of DeFuniak Springs, Saturday, Feb. 7,
2009.

By LEAH STRATMANN
Quite a few folks turned
out at the last meeting of
the planning commission to
weigh in on the issue of the
construction of Seabreeze
Villas. The parcel under dis-
cussion is located at the cor-
ner of Seabreeze Trail and
Seabreeze Boulevard, just
north of CR-30A.
Many of the objections of
the neighborhood residents
were rendered moot by the
Board of County Commis-
sioners. (BCC) on Feb. 10
when the applicants ap-
peared before them to re-


quest vested rights in the
planned unit development.
The applicants had been di-
rected in this decision by the
planning commission and
the BCC agreed 'the devel-
oper had vested rights from
some 20 years ago.
Speaking for the county
planning department, Mac
Carpenter said the applicant
had been working diligently
to protect the neighborhood,
particularly with regard to
storm water. "This parcel
was originally designated
as a storm water collection
site and the developer has


accepted responsibility for
the storm water for the sur-
rounding area as well as the
runoff from the lot itself," he
said.
Commissioner Tom Ter-
rell said, "We have had some
real problems with storm
water and not retaining it.
We want to make sure land-
owners have some guaran-
tees they will not be deluged
with water."
Carpenter concluded the
project met the county's land
development code, while in-
dicating the planning de-
partment still needed the


applicant to submit a land-
scape plan complying with
the xeriscaping ordinance,
but otherwise there were no
outstanding conditions to be
met.
Jeff Csire approached the
commissioners on behalf of
a large group of Seabreeze
property owners who oppose
the -project. "We have some
concerns. Lot 58 [the pro-
posed land site] was labeled
as a storm water retention
area. We want to be reas-
sured that building town
hones will not have a nega-
tive effect on properties ad-


jacent to lot 58," he said.
Project engineer Corey
Dillmore said a system of
swales had been designed
behind the building to direct
flow into the retention area.
"The new design exceeds
standards," he said.
Another concern of the
neighborhood was the com-
patibility of construction of
four town homes with 14 liv-
ing units and a pool on 1.6
acres of land. Csire pointed
out this provided a density
to the area of 8.5 units an

DEER LAKE State Park is named for the coastal dune lake within the park's boundar-
ies. The park's long dune walkover leading to the beach traverses a pristine example of the
area's dune ecosystem, one of the park's many natural communities. (Photo by Dotty Nist)



County to research operating

Deer Lake State Park


By DOTTY NIST
Ever since the Florida
Division of Recreation and
Parks' revelation several
months ago that Deer Lake
State Park might soon be
closed down for an indefi-
nite period, local fans of the
beachfront park have been
brainstorming for solutions
to keep that from happen-
ing.
Located just west of the
WaterSound community on
CR-30A, Deer Lake State
Park features some of the
Gulf Coast's most spectacu-
lar dune ecosystem scenery
along the park's long walk-
over, which traverses tall
dunes and a variety of na-
tive vegetation as it leads to
the gulf. The park is named
for one of Walton County's
globally rare coastal dune
lakes that is contained with-
in the f,900-plus-acre park's
boundaries.
Deer Lake State Park is
among 19 state parks for
which temporary closure
has been proposed as a cost-
saving measure in view of
the state budget shortfall.
Jessica Kemper, park ser-
vice spokeswoman, has com-
mented that the proposal is
still just that and will re-
quire approval by the Flor-


ida Legislature and Gover-
nor Charlie Crist.
On Feb. 10, Marsha An-
derson, chairman of Wal-
ton County's Coastal Dune
Lake Advisory Board (CD-
LAB), came before the Wal-
ton County-Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) to re-
quest that the county inves-
tigate taking responsibility
for operation of Deer Lake
State Park in order to keep
it open to the public if the
state does opt to close the
park.
Anderson relayed the CD-
LAB members' sentiment
that keeping Deer Lake
State Park open to the pub-
lic is an 'important matter
for a number of reasons, in-
cluding the access the park
provides to the beach and
the park's impressive dune
system.
The CDLAB has estimat-
ed that the county's costs
to operate the park would
be minimal, approximately
$6,000 per year, and mainly
related to opening the gate
in the morning, closing it at
night and cleaning the park
restroom.
County Commission
Chair Sara Comander was
receptive to the suggestion
and brought up the possibil-


ity of inmate labor being uti-
lized for some of the labor to
save on costs. She observed
that a number of questions
would need to be answered,
including whether a lease
agreement would be in-
volved and who would bear
liability for any potential
injuries sustained by park
visitors.
Pat Blackshear, county
planning and development
services director, suggested
that county staff contact
state park officials to look
into the matter and bring
back information to the
BCC at a future date. The
commissioners gave Blacks-
hear direction to proceed as
she had outlined.
District 1 Commissioner
Scott Brannon requested
that the South Walton Tour-
ist Development Council be
included in the information
seeking process, and Black-
shear agreed to do so.
There is currently no
public access to the beach at
Deer Lake State Park due
to ongoing construction on
a handicapped-accessible
boardwalk. According to
Dale Shingler, park man-
ager, the completion of con-
struction is estimated in ap-
proximately 60 days.


By DOTTY NIST
.A Walton County circuit
judge, has ruled in favor of
defendants Walton County
and the Sandestin Owners
Association in the matter of
two lawsuits involving the
Driftwood Estates subdivi-
sion.
On Jan. 30, Judge W.
Howard LaPorte granted
the defendants' motion for
summary, judgment in both
cases, resulting in neither
case proceeding to trial,
barring appeal by the plain-
tiffs.
Plaintiffs Greater Drift-
wood Estates Homeowners'
Association, Inc., and Sam-
uel Alan Osborne, an indi-
vidual homeowner, filed the
first lawsuit in Feb. 2007, al-
leging that Walton County's
1988 abandonment of part
of a road formerly known as
Driftwood Drive was inval-
id. This section of the right-
of-way formerly connected
Driftwood Estates with the
Sandestin property and
provided a second access in
and out of the subdivision.
A wall now stands on the
abandoned section.
"(T)he court finds that
the County has complied
with all of the provisions
of section 336.10, Florida
Statutes, as they existed at
that time, and that the road


was properly abandoned by
the County," Judge LaPorte
ruled, noting that public re-
cords indicate that included
in that procedure were pub-
lic hearings, statements by
citizens for and against the
abandonment, approval of a
resolution abandoning the
road section, an agreement
with developer Sandestin
Bay Estates, Inc., indem-
nifying the county for any
actions resulting from the
abandonment, and pub-
lished notice of the aban-
donment affording affected
persons with the right to
challenge the abandonment
resolution.
"(A)nyone with a legally
cognizable interest in the
Driftwood Estates right-of-
way had a means to chal-
lenge the abandonment at
the time it occurred through
a petition fqr certiorari. No
challenge was made to the
action of the County within
the time required," LaPorte
also stated.
The judge also determined
that none of the plaintiffs in
the lawsuit owned property
in Driftwood Estates at the
time the abandonment reso-
lution was adopted over 20
years ago, and that therefore
they do not have "standing"

division through the Sandestin property. Driftwood home-
owners have filed a number of lawsuits contesting Walton
County's 1988 action that closed that right-of-way, resulting
in only one entrance/exitway to the subdivision, a road that
is unfortunately subject to flooding. (Photo by Dotty Nist)

AS APPROVED at the Feb. 10 Walton County Board of County Commissioners meeting, this building on Logan Lane in

a house from the Kellogg Nature Center property onto county property at Cessna Park to be used as her office. However, on
Feb. 10 County Administrator told the commissioners that environmental issues stood in the way of those plans. His recom-
mendation was for the Logan Lane building, owned by Regional Utilities and formerly in use as the utility company's office,
be utilized by the District 5 commissioner. Bell announced that the county had been offered a no-fee lease on the property,
since Regional Utilities is an agent for the county. The county will bear some responsibilities with regard to the building,
including maintenance. The District 5 commissioner's office is currently located in a rented unit at Gulf Place in Santa
Rosa Beach.


Most library lifetime memberships can continue


By DOTTY NIST

Coastal Branch Library
lifetime memberships sold
to winter visitors to Walton
County are to be honored,
as long as a visitor returns
to the library once a year to
renew registration.
However, if a winter visi-
tor who is the holder of a
lifetime membership card
fails to renew during any
given year, he or she will'be
required to go to the $35 an-
nual fee membership' card
plan for use of the library.
This was the decision of
the Walton County Board
of County. Commissioners
(BCC) on Feb. 10, in.: the
wake of complaints from


' several snowbirds. Many
had been unhappy about a
new library policy requiring
a $35 annual library card
fee for all nonresidents of
the county, including snow-
birds who had purchased
lifetime membership cards
many years ago. These $8
membership cards had been
issued prior to the county
taking .oyer operation of the
library.
S.Walton County Citizen
Services Director Ken Little
suggested honoring the life-
time memberships, subject
to a no-fee annual renewal
process. "I think we need to
reward our faithful visitors,"
.Little said.
District 2 Commission'


Ken Pridgen moved for ap-
proval of Little's recom-
i


mendation. It was approved
unanimously.

New fee assessment



method adopted


..By LEAH STRA TALANN N*
SA r-elativel' short plan-
ning' commission agerida
was made shorter when it
was announced the petition-
ers for the'Blue Mountain
Beachfront Neighborhood
Plan had requested a, con-
tinuance until the
April 9 meeting of the com-
mission.
Therefore the only two
legislative items remain-
ing concerned amendment
to the Walton County Land
Development Code (LDC)
establishing procedures for
valuing platted land for the
purpose of collecting recre-
ation fees and conservation
buyout fees for subdivi-
sions.
Planning director Pat
Blackshear said her depart-,
ment had always used the
.verified tax rolls to assess
these fees and it was now
putting a hardship on devel-
opment. "Developers want to
pay a fair market appraisal
and the planning depart-
ment recommends approv-
al. The [Walton County] tax
appraiser has put in writing
he didn't think the planning
department should use his
verified tax rolls for this
purpose. Appraisals should
be supplied by the appli-
cants from an independent
appraiser," she said.
County attorney Mike
Burke said, "The honest
choice is the risk of spending
dollars to get an indepen-
dent appraisal or be satisfied
with going with the county's
appraisal. Therefore the ap-
plicant should get at least
two appraisals. The devel-
oper has the opportunity to
get a county approved inde-
pendent appraisal. If there
is a huge disparity between
the two appraisals, a third
appraisal should be made at
county expense and an aver-
age of the two independent
appraisals be the determin-
ing number," he opined.
Commissioner Tom Ter-
rell said, I don't think the
county appraiser can tell
us we can't use his rolls for
these purposes. We should
give either the applicant or
the county an opportunity to
object to the evaluation."
Commissioner Randy
Gardner had an opinion as


well. "I have had personal
experience with thi.. De-
pending on where you are in
the cycle, how do you estab-
lish fair market value?"
Terrell also said it wasn't
fair to use market values
from two or three years ago.
In the end, it was decided
the planning department'
would follow Burke's sug-
' gestion that if the applicant
or the county were dissatis-


fled with the ultimate ap-
praisal, then either party
could request a second ap-
praisal at the expense of the
requesting party and then
an average of the two would
be accepted.
The commissioners all
agreed' this was an accept-
able methodology for the
assessing of both recreation
fees and preservation buy-
outs.

to challenge the validity of
the 1988 action.
The second lawsuit was
filed in April 2007 by six in-
dividual Driftwood Estates
homeowners. In this lawsuit
the same claim was made
that the abandonment had
been invalid, and the judge's


All right, I'll admit it:
I'm semi-obsessed with this
woman in California who
gave birth to eight chil-
dren recently. Like many, I
watched the "exclusive" in-
terview on NBC with Ann
Curry. For starters I was
embarrassed for the profes-
sion of journalism; it doesn't"
take much investigation to
see how low television can
sink. As for exclusivity,
I'd say a woman who gives
birth and immediately hires
a publicist is about as exclu-
sive as a public toilet.
The show was touted as
asking the questions Ameri-
cans wanted to know. Aside
from asking her why she
would implant herself re-
peatedly with so many em-
bryos and getting insipid
answers such as "I love chil-
dren," it was not a very illu-
minating interview. Nadya
Suleman sat there with her
perfect manicure (another
thing a new mother with 14
children would think to do
first) and tried to justify her
actions. She said she wasn't
on welfare, but admitted
to getting $490 a month in
food stamps, and disability
for three of her previous six
children. Her food stamp
allotment has undoubtedly
shot way up with the addi-
tion of eight more mouths
to feed. It is an indication of
how out of touch Suleman is
with reality that she doesn't
consider food stan's wel-
fare. Disability also comes
from taxpayers, but 'that's'
not much' of a concern for:
her, as she doesn't woik.
With the likelihood of health
problems with theacdition-'
al eight, additional disabil-
ity payments are probably
in her future.


NBC 'was all pompous in
saying they had not paid
for the interview, but then
turned around and directed
viewers, to a Website where
contributions could be made,
to the family. Many will
donate for the sake of the
children and nobody would
want the children to suffer,
but this is clearly wrong. It
is tacit approval of an action
so wrong people are calling
.for the state to remove the
children and death threats
are being made to the
mother and the publicist.
The mother or her publicist
created a Website where
photos of the babies are dis-
played, along with a link to
donate. Don't wait; she ac-
cepts VISA, MasterCard,
Pay Pal, American Express
and more!
The citizens of Califor-
nia pay the highest taxes
of anyone in this county
and the tax coffers in Cali-
fornia are empty. Even The
Terminator cannot fill them
up. The hospital where the
children were delivered and
have been kept in neonatal
intensive care has present-
ed a bill to the state some
estimating it as high as $1.3
million and the meter is
still ticking. Since the state
clearly has paid dearly for
these new citizens, I cer-
tainly hope the child wel-
fare system there keeps a
close eye on them, but it has
been reported she has had
to move to a safer location
due to death threats.
Only lunatics would wish
her dead, but clearly the
woman is using public as-
'sistance and preying on the
wallets of good-hearted peo-
ple to find the funds to raise
her family. She states she

plans to return to school in
the fall to get her master's
degree. Where will she find
the time and who will be
watching her brood?
Her publicist claims to
be fielding offers for a book.
Great. Another person who
can't write getting paid to
put a photo on a book some-
body else writes. How much
of a story can there be? The
baby machine said in the in-
terview with NBC she paid
for in vitro fertilization of
six embryos twice after the
birth of her two youngest,
the twins. Both attempts
failed, but the third time
was the charm, resulting in
the eight babies. Only six
embryos were implanted,
but two embryos multiplied
themselves into twins, but
this admission leaves little
doubt the woman sought
a high-number multiple
birth.
We also must remember
someone with a medical
degree helped enable this
travesty. The monm says
the same doctor did all of'
the procedures, so he was
well aware she already had
a passel of children, but I
guess as long as her check
cleared, his conscience was
clear too,

response was the same as
for the first suit. The indi-
vidual homeowners also al-
leged that an agreement en-
tered into by the county and
Sandestin Bay Estates, to
which they claim they were
third party beneficiaries,
had been breached.


Part of the agreement
involving the abandonment
had been a provision for
Sandestin Bay Estates to
provide access to properties
according to legal require-
ments.
Judge LaPorte did not
deny the existence of such


an obligation but stated,
"That access is an obligation
of the developer and not the
County under the agree-
ment. Therefore, any action
to enforce those rights to the
extent third party benefi-
ciary rights actually exist,
must be brought against the
developer and not the Coun-
ty."
In Oct. 2007, a petition
for a writ of mandamus
filed by the Driftwood ho-
meowner's association and
Osborne had also been de-
nied by Judge LaPorte. The
writ would have compelled
the Walton County Board
of County Commissioners
to hold a public hearing to
determine whether Florida
Statutes were followed in
the 1988 abandonment ac-
tion by their predecessors.
That denial of the writ
of mandamus has been ap-
pealed by the petitioners in
the District Court of Appeal
for Florida's First District
in Tallahassee. Oral argu-
ments in that case took
place last week on Feb. 10,
and the matter is pending.

Csire's group also object-
ed to the area allotted for
parking. "There are only two
spaces per unit and we be-

kicks off the dance party at
2:30 ,p.m. and then Lil' Mal-
colm & the House Rockers
hit the stage at 3 p.m. This
five-man band has a steady
focus on tradition that sets
them apart from the newest
wave of "pop Zydeco" bands.
The group places a strong'
emphasis on creating live
shows that are exciting and


fun, and they are known for
pulling audience members
up on the stage to dance. Lil'
Malcolm & the House Rock-
ers beleive that keeping tra-
dition in Zydeco is the best
way to make the music en-
joyable.
. A special thanks to this
year's Mardi Gras sponsors,
Amavida Coffee, 4KIDS and
Central Square Records.
These events are made pos-
,sible by the arts and enter-
tainment fee collected by
The Merchants of Seaside.

more when Commissioner
Terrell said, "It appears you
have gone overboard to pro-
tect your site and the 'area
around it. I would like for
you to tell the people they
are not going to get water
from this project."
County engineer Grey
Graham then approached
the commissioners. After
establishing himself as a
professional engineer with
more than 20 years experi-
ence, he said, "We had big
concerns with this project
when it first came to us.
There are about 12 acres in
the neighborhood draining
into this hold, which is lot
58. We required a 100-year
storm model even based on
pre-development. Nobody
can guarantee there will
never be a drainage prob-


lem, but the engineering
department feels they have
gone above and beyond to
address the issue with re-
taining walls and so forth.
We are comfortable with the
design," he concluded.
Project developer Jona-
than Roberts said, "I bought
this property for people to
live in. It may take 10 years
to build this out. People will
have garages and the prop-
erties will have elevators.
I have bet my money that
somebody is going to want
to live here. That is my in-
tent," he said.

Subject to conditions by
the planning department
staff, it was the unanimous
decision of the planning
department to approve the
project.


By BRUCE COLLIER

Darren Aronofsky's "The
Wrestler" is an old fash-
ioned film simply filmed,
its story told in spare, mini-
malist style. There are three
"name" actors in it Mickey
Rourke, Marisa Tomei and
Evan Rachel Wood. Wres-
tling fans,will probably rec-
ognize a few faces, real-life
mat-men who play charac-
ters much like themselves.
For the rest, it's shot on lo-
cation in New Jersey, with a
cast that looks pretty local.
* Rourke plays Randy "The
Ram" Robinson, a pro wres-
tler whose best days were in
the 1980s. His success as a
glamorous star of the ring
is quickly told through an
opening montage of newspa-
per and magazine clippings.
In his prime, Randy looked
like Hulk Hogan with Dee
Snider hair. He still does,
only time has blunted the
edges and slowed him
down.
Inured to a life of con-
stant pain by a steady in-
take of pills washed down
with beer, Randy trudges
from one small-time match
to another, collecting a cash
cut of whatever meager
gate can be realized. He's
still something of a celeb-
rity to die-hard fans, and is
respected and liked by his
peers, young and old. All
the same, he has, a perma-
nent cash-flow problem and
is periodically locked out of
his trailer park home. For-
tunately Randy can always
fall asleep in his dumpy van
to the cassette-borne sound
of Guns N Roses and other
headbanger bands. He also
has a college-age daugh-
ter, Stephanie (Wood), who
wants nothing to do with


: im.
The only bright spot in
Randy's life is his friendship
with Pam (Tomei), a middle-
aged lap dancer working at
a dingy club under the name
Cassidy. Pam/Cassidy has
a child, no husband, and a
steadily dwindling clien-
tele for her services. The
'80s were better for her, too.
When a heart attack forces
Randy to retire from the
ring, his thoughts go toward
mending fences with Steph-
anie. Pam encourages him.
"Things like this can bring
people together," she says.
Yes and no. Randy has
good intentions, but a short
attention span. Like a pup-
py, he only attends to what
is right in front of his face.
Looking for income follow-
ing his retirement, Randy
takes a job working a deli
counter. He starts out fine,
but soon tires of the routine
and-quits.. He and his daugh-
ter spend a nostalgic day
at the boardwalk, but then
he stands her up for din-
ner. And so on. Randy has
persuaded himself that the
only time he's really living is
when he's in the ring. Faced
with a choice, he brushes
off the doctor's advice and
returns to competition, a
hyped "grudge match" with
an old '80s opponent called
The Ayatollah.
"The' Wrestler" is about
pain and aging, exemplified
by Rourke's fully-rounded
performance as Randy.
Seen only from the back
for the first 10 minutes of
the film, Randy shambles
like an arthritic bear, every
move made to the sound of
little grunts and moans. His
whole existence seems to be
timed a half-step behind ev-
eryone else physically and


mentally.
What makes the film so
memorable is its refusal to
judge Randy, his friends,
and his profession. This is
not an expose of the corrup-
tion of pro wrestling, though
the rehearsed brutality is
sometimes hard to watch.
Robert Siegel's screenplay
treats the sport as a job and
a craft, with its own rules,
traditions and terms of art.
Before every match, the
wrestlers confer and map
out their fight, sounding for
all the world like musicians
planning riffs and solos. Yes,
it's planned, but the blows
are for real, right down to
the blood Randy draws from
his head to "make it more
real." He does it with a frag-
ment of razor secreted in a
wristband, and it looks like
the genuine article.
Tomei takes the camera
straight in the face as Pam,
moving numbly through her
work, not sure what to do
about the future. Like Ran-
dy, she tends to look back-
wards rather than forwards.
Her life is a long trudge,
punctuated by impulses. The
story ends in the air- literal-
ly and the director leaves it
to us to wonder exactly what
happened next. I wanted
to know, which is about as
good a measure of success
for a film as any. The score
is remarkable, too, for its
mix of '80s crunch. There's
even a Bruce Springsteen
lament, all metaphorical
and despairing, to round off
the end credits.
"The Wrestler" is cur-
rently playing at only one
area theater, though its Os-
car buzz that might change
that. Wherever it is, make
the trip.

With the final registration date for Walton Snowbirds
now well past, many winter visitors are counting their re-
maining days as most are well past the halfway point in
our homes-away-from-home for 2009. It would appear that
registration numbers were down, but only slightly as the
Panhandle cool definitely beat this year's northern winter
blast.
Carol Baumann would like to thank those who donated
19 pints of blood on? February 4. Carol had a very lucky
day last Wednesday at the general meeting winning a ma-
jor door prize and a brand new bike in the Snowbird schol-
arship raffle. Hopefully, Carol will be going to Biloxi on
Wednesday with the Snowbirds.
A few tickets are still available for the Ladies' Luncheon
on February the 26. This popular event will be held at the
Embassy Suites at 11:30 am with fashions sponsored by
Coldwater Creek under the theme "Fashions With Friends."
Cost is $27. Call Eunice Collins (650-1546) or Nancy Cos-
grove (269-2773) to secure a ticket.
Call Eunice Collins if interested in going by bus to the
Isle of Capri in Biloxi on Wednesday Feb. 18. At print time,
there were about seven seats remaining. Carol Addington's
Snowbird Singers will be performing a final farewell con-
cert at the Santa Rosa Community Church at 3 p.m. on Sat-
urday, February 28. The church is located on the north side
of U.S. 98, .about 2.5 miles east of CR-30A.
On Friday, February 20, the Emerald Coast Carvers will
be displaying their wares at the Village Baptist Church on
Matthew Boulevard in building six from 10 a.m. till noon or
later.
In the card game arena, there is a site change for Mon-
day afternoon bridge. It will take place at the Beach House
on Scenid Gulf Drive across from Geronimo Avenue, which
leads to the Faith Assembly Registration Hall. Time will
still be 1 p.m. till about 4 p.m. There will be no euchre
on February 20 as the facility is being used for a church
event. Last week saw Ginny Young in first place, followed
by Sydney Turner, Sandy Grabcznski and Sally Carriere.
The men's division had Bud Coles in first followed by Roger
Dressen, Brian Cosgrove and Richard Carriere.
Snowbirds may take things to the storage facility on U.S.
98 about one mile east of CR-30A on Wednesday, Feb. 25
and every Wednesday in March from 3 p.m. till 4 p.m.
We are trying to organize a group fishing charter for the
last week in February with amberjack as the target species.
Interested Snowbirds should call 269-2773 or send an email
to nancyandbrian@hotmail.com.
Golf Garden leagues are winding down with only two
weeks left. Snowbirds, thank the organizers who sit through
all kinds of weather then go home and tabulate all the re-
sults and handicaps. Check our Website at www.walton-
countysnowbirds.com to see the list of playdays that are
still available. Remember, all members of the group must
be Snowbird members, so have WCS cards ready when
signing up. Most golf courses have a dress code, so dress
appropriately when attending these outings.
Finally, in closing, remember that our organization is
only as strong as its volunteers.I t appears that there will
be a need for many volunteers next yearin several key posi-
tions. Please contact any of the board members on the Web
page to get more involved with the Snowbirds.,

Explaining Tchaikovsky:

Going "Beyond the Score"

with Sinfonia


THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD BREEZE, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19,2009


By BRUCE COLLIER
Ordinarily,Tchaikovsky
wouldn't need explaining.
He's a composer, and his
work speaks or doesn't
- for itself. The Chicago
Symphony Orchestra (CSO)
wanted to give audiences a
little something extra and
go, as they say, "Beyond the
Score." The program, creat-
ed by CSO's Gerard McBur-
ney, provides an. historical
and cultural backstory to
some of the world's greatest
musical works.
In this case, it was Tchai-
kovsky's Symphony No. 4 in
F Minor. Sinfonia Gulf Coast
music director and conduc-
tor Demetrius Fuller invited
this reporter to participate
in the program, which ran
last Saturday evening at
Emerald Coast Conference
Center. Also participating
were Seaside Rep's artistic
director Craige Hoover, a
quartet from Pro Arte Cho-
rale, and ballerina Stepha-
nie Hsiang of Ballet Conser-
vatory.
The program consists of
two parts. Part One is "Be-
yond the Score."' A, original
script tells the story of how
Russian composer Peter I.
Tchaikovsky (i840-1893)
came to write the Fourth
Symphony. Part Two is a
performance of the sym-
phony itself. In Part One,
I acted as Narrator. and
Hoover served as Actor,
reading letters written by
the composer, as well as
what his contemporaries -
which included Tolstoy and
Dostoyevsky had to say.
Part history lesson, part
dramatized biography, "Be-
yond the Score" is both an
introduction and an appre-
ciation of what goes into the
creation of a work of art.
Hoover and I had read
the script once on our own,
then again for Full-e and
a representative frii' Chi-
cago Symphony. We had
two rehearsals with the full
symphony orchestra, the
chorale, and Ms. Hsiang be-
fore the actual perfdriiance.
Fuller kept things' lovingg,
having to work from two
scores the, "Beyond the
Score" musical text and the
actual symphony.
Patches of narrative are
read from stands, and are
accompanied by a prepared
montage of visual images
projected onto large screens
on either side of the stage.


The images include fac-
similes of the score, letters,
photos, and paintings. In-
terspersed with the spoken
passages are musical snip-
pets from the symphony and
other works by Tchaikovsky,
and Georges Bizet, as well
as traditional Russian folk
tunes.The dancer worked
behind a shadow screen,
moving in silhouette to the
music.
The program rehearsed
on Friday afternoon and eve-
ning, then again on Satur-
day before the performance.
All involved actors, dancer,
technicians, singers, con-
ductor, and the formidably
talented orchestra worked
with focus and concentra-
tion. There was no audience
aside from Ms. Hsaing's par-
ents and a representative
from the ballet conserva-
tory, who was accompanied
by .a young child. The child,
an aspiring dancer, couldn't
contain herself during the
rehearsal. She could be seen
from stage, dashing up and
down the aisles, leaping,
pirouetting and working off
tons of kid-sized creative
energy. Remarkable, con-
sidering it was generated by
the work of a man who lived,
more than 100 years ago on
the other side of the world.
The show went on, on the
night of Valentine's Day.,
Sitting on the stage with an
orchestra at my back, I could
feel its presence, like anoth-
er- character onstage. What
was most striking was how
the collected force of mul-
tiple individuals, all coming
from different places, can
join together to become a
completely new entity. From
wood, brass, steel strings,
vocal cords, muscles, writ-
ten and spoken words, and
the, inspiration of a genius
came true "reality" enter-
