Brian Hughes
Crestview News Bulletin
Candidates for 'the office of
mayor of Laurel Hill made up
the cast of the second segment of
Tuesday's evening's north Okaloo-
sa County elections forum.
Incumbent Mayor Vizell Rob-
bins was joined by challengers
Ferrin Campbell Jr. and Larry
Hendren. Campbell is a promi-
nent Laurel Hill businessman and
contractor. Hendren is currently a
member of the city council.
1. What,will you do as Mayor
to increase community involve-
ment, and what can the city do to
Support beneficial activities and
opportunities .for Laurel Hill's
youngsters?
Campbell: "With the limited
budget of a small city like Laurel
Hill, .there's very little .what we can
do." Cited Laurel Hill School as a
source of pride and development
for kids. Wants to better promote
city meetings to encourage more
community involvement in city
government.
Hendren: "I would encourage
people to support activities in oftr
local school and to attend the city
council meetings and let us know
/- what they expect of us."
Robbins: Also encourages
more people to attend city council
n meetings and get more involved.
"We are trying to upgrade the city
of Laurel Hill and that starts with
our children." Cited progress in
upgrading facilities at Gene Clary
Park, including lighting for night
ball games. "We love our children
and want to have activities that
they can do."
2.. As mayor, what steps will
you take to help improve the city's
financial situation?
Hendren: Long-range plan is to
reduce city taxes 10 percent. "We
can do this by reducing our spend-
ing." Would increase revenues by
encouraging more citizens to move
to Laurel Hill. "We have the land
and we have the people to support
small businesses. We need to sup-
port development for Laurel Hill."
Robbins: Hopes to attract more
businesses and more industry. 'If
we had some more support such
as people coming in, it would build
up the city finances. We would en-
courage builders and what indus-
try that can to come in and help us
build up our city."
Campbell: Supports "attracting
all people and businesses we can"
to Laurel Hill. Says resources and
options are .limited. "We have to
reduce taxes and impact fees. The
biggest thing facing our city is re-
ducing taxes. The city is crippled.
The city is left paying off loans that
were taken out in the past." Would
insist city "turn over every rock
that you can" to find ways of cut-
ting expenses.
3. As mayor, how would you en-
courage residential and/or busi-
ness growth in Laurel Hill?
Robbins: "Encourage building
by letting people know they are
welcome to come in and build what-
ever they have to build." Says taxes
from businesses are badly needed,

'Fiery' discussion between NOFD, CAMT
Brian Hughes
Crestview News Bulletin
Rarely do you see two
sides in an election as
diametrically opposed as
the North Okaloosa Fire
District's stated need for
a tax increase and Citi-
zens Against More Taxes'
staunch opposition to it.
The two sides politely
squared off at Tuesday
night's election forum and
firmly stated their respec-
tive positions.
NOFD
Following a coin toss,
representatives of the North
Okaloosa Fire District went
first. Commissioner Julie
Slezia introduced Phil Kent,
a resident of the district. To
back his comments, a repre-
sentative of Holloway Insur-
ance was on hand.
"I have lived in the dis-
trict 18 years," Kent said.
"I'm very familiar with the
NOFD. I've been a friend of
theirs the whole time."
Kent then offered several
points.
First, "we are already
losing volunteers," Kent
said. The rate increase is
needed to retain paid fire-
fighters to maintain the cur-
rent standard of service.
Second, "unless we can
maintain our current level
of fire protection, we can
surely expect to lose our
current ISO rating," Kent
said. Most property owners
have a 5 rating on the scale.
Before the creation of the
NOFD in 1998, most of the
north county was unrated,
Kent said.
"It was brought down to
the level 5 thanks to the ef-
forts of NOFD," he said.
Third, Kent said, "along
with the loss of our ISO rat-
ing, property owners will
surely face an increase of in-
surance, and in some cases,
the ability to attain 'any fire
insurance at all."
He encouraged voters to
visit NOFD.homestead.com,
to see more details, adding,
"Please contact your own
insurance agency to deter-
mine your. coverage."
Kent also debunked
claims that there would be
an annual tax increase if the
measure is passed. The in-
crease would only be $10.79
per month.
"This amount could only
be significantly changed if at
some time another amend-
ment is passed by the vot-
ers," Kent said.
Kent then asked the Citi-
zens Against More "Taxes,
"Can you guys guarantee
our insurance protection
and insurance costs will not
be affected?" if the measure
fails.
Slezia then offered some
background on the NQFD
and its current fiscal prob-
lems.
"Back in 1998 we started
the fire department," she
said. "We were nothing more
than a contract for services
with the city of Crestview."
Today, she said, "our guys
spend every day saving lives
and saving property. They
'have answered 100 percent.
of every call.
"We have achieved that
5 ISO and we would like to
achieve a 4/5. We can't do
that without tanker support.
The only way to do that is to
buy another tanker," Slezia
said. "If you live out in the
'boonies,' and we can get
water to you, it counts."
Slezia also lauded the
NOFD's call response time.
"We are down to 4.5 min-
utes per call on average to
every call over the district,"
she said. "The guys out
there are doing a fantastic
job and they're doing it very
efficiently."
Today NOFD has 16
firefighters handling more
than 2,000 calls a year. If the
tax increase fails, she said,
funding for professional fire-
fighters will expire in 2012,
and many will have to be cut
from the force.
I NOFD firefighters are
also EMS qualified, Slezia
said.
"We are a significant
bang for your buck," she
concluded.
CAMT
Business owner Daniel
Bowers represented the Cit-
izens Against More Taxes
organization that has been
stalwart in its opposition to
the NOFD's two previous
rate increase requests.
"Every member of our
group owns property in the
district," Bowers said. "We
formed this group to ex-
press our displeasure with
those who raise our taxes.
"Our fight is not with
the firefighters," Bowers
stressed. "We are not in the
battle with firefighters."

Bowers said CAMT's bat-
tle is with the district board.
The CAMT thinks the NOFD
is not managing its funds
properly and unable to con-
trol spending.
"They're trying to be ev-
erything for everybody and
more than their charter al-
lows," Bowers said. "They
tried twice to get us to ap-
prove a big tax increase to
cover their mistakes.
"Under Florida law, they
must get your approval for
this big tax increase because
they have already raised
your taxes the maximum
they can without your ap-
proval," Bowers declared.
"These tax increases are
killing me and other small
businessmen and women,.-
I'm not in this fight just for
me. I'malso in it for the other
property owners and the ho-
meowners," he said.
"Let me be very specific:
The fire district has more
than doubled your tax since
1998, and they want to double
it again. I see no reason for
our taxes to double this year.
"For several years the
board has spent more money
than it can take in. They per-
form functions they are not
required by law to perform,"
he said. "Since the last two
votes, the fire district has not
made one. change to reduce
money in a significant way."
Bowers cited an error in
informational materials dis-
tributed before the first vote
.last summer, which NOFD
had to correct with a follow-
up handout. The measure
was defeated.
"The voters' decision
wasn't good enough for the
district. The chief said the
voters were not informed,"
Bowers said. "This was said
in spite of the fact they spent
lots of time and money to
educate the voters.
"Once again, on Nov. 4,
we said 'no.' You would think
the fire district would get the
message and seek ways to
reduce expenses," Bowers
said. "This time the fire dis-
trict is changing the wording
on the proposal."
Bowers questioned what
his group thinks is misleading
wording on the ballot voters
will consider on March 10.
If the ballot language is
approved, Bowers said, the
fire district will increase fees
142 percent this year and
could increase it more in
subsequent years.
"It can be interpreted any
way a future board chooses
to interpret it," he said. "It
doesn't matter what they say.
What matters is what it says
on the ballot." '
"Thefire districthas spent
more money than it has tak-
en in for years. They're doing
jobs they are not required by
law to do. Most importantly
nothing they have done has
reduced our ISO rating,"
Bowers said. "Do you believe
they can do better if they are
given more money?
"If we're going to stop
this runaway tax train, this is
a good place to start," Bow-
ers concluded. "We need to
improve management, not
increase taxes. I encourage
you to vote no on this big tax
increase."
Rebuttals
Each side was given five
minutes for rebuttal. Again,
Slezia represented the North
Okaloosa Fire District.
"We all understand that
no one wants to pay more
taxes. The intention of this
initiative is to raise the rates
to $220 (a year) and keep it
there," she said "At no time,
at any time, since I have been
working with this board,
have they ever, ever raised
your rates without your ap-
proval. Every single year we
hold budget hearings."
Slezia explained why
NOFD increased its paid
staff. "The only reason for
that manning is to protect
you. We cannot protect you
without these guys," she
said.
"We are operating at a
much higher level of effi-
ciency than any other (fire)
department in the county."
Slezia also addressed sug-
gestions that NOFD should
not perform EMS responses
for the county, supplement-
ing service unavailable in
the north county.
"One of the things Citi-
zens Againt More Taxes said
is we should stop handling
emergency calls," Slezia
said. "There are only eight
ambulances in the whole
county. Without the NOFD
it could take more than an
hour for an ambulance .to
come to you."
Slezia pointed out the to-
tal cost of providing EMS ser-
vices is $15,000 a year in gas
and training. The balance is
covered by the county.
She concluded her state-
ment by lauding the service
provided by NOFD's fire-
fighters who serve on a sal-
ary that is below industry
standards and without a re-
tirement plan.
"Our firefighters get an
average of $10,000 less than
other firefighters in the
county," Slezia said. "They
have no statewide retire-
ment plan because we can-
not afford it.

From the
PULPIT
The
gospel
of grace
What
is grace?
The most
basic
definition
of grace
is: "God's
unmerited FROM THE
favor PULPIT
toward The Rev. Bruce
humanity." Sheffield,
You can
do nothing to earn God's
grace, nor can you do
anything to stop it.
Maurice Boyd, a
Presbyterian pastor in
New York City, defines
grace as love, God's love.
Love to the unknown, love
to those who don't deserve
it, love to the unlovely, love
with no restrictions.
In short, grace is love in
its loveliest form.
There are many ways
in which God' chooses to
manifest His grace to His
creation.
First of all, grace is
love going before us.
We, in the Wesleyan
tradition, call this
prevenient grace, grace
that prepares a person's
heart to receive God's
love. "My God in His
loving kindness shall
meet me at every corner
of life." Wow! This is '
precisely what we mean
by- God's grace. Think of
all the corners of life we
are turning. The corners
of school, job, marriage,
family, retirement and
even the corner of death,
and to know His grace is
already there to meet us.,
Secondly, grace is love
coming to meet us: Have
you ever wondered why
the gospels are silent on
grace? It is because Jesus
was grace! However,
Paul in his epistles was
constantly talking about
God's grace. It's not our
faithfulness but His! Peter
and the disciples said,
"We will not forsake you."
But they did. God is so,
faithful. He comes seeking
us before we even know
we are lost. The-wonder
of God's grace will always
come to meet us where
we are.
Finally, grace is love's
victory for us. The Bible
tells us; "where sin
abounds, grace does much
more abound."
Grace is God's triumph
in our loves. In Jesus, the
victory is ours, because
He is victorious. Jesus
was assured of victory
even before Gethsemane,
Golgotha and the grave.
Jesus declared, "My grace
is sufficient!" We are all
bad, even those in the
Bible, but God's grace
laid hold of us all. What
victory! But, even greater,
what grace.
The Rev. Bruce

The true meaning of 'the shirt off my back'
Elbert James
Special to the News Bulletin
Elbert James of
Crestview had this
article published in
"The. Heart Beat," a
publication of Renewed
Hearts in Covington,
Ga.
The other day my
eldest sister and I went
to visit my youngest
sister in the hospital
in Pensacola. On our
way back home that
evening, as we entered
the highway, we came
upon a man who was
hitchhiking a ride to
Ocala. After going down
the highway about two
blocks, I decided to stop
and give him a ride.
As we got back on
the road, I couldn't help
but notice how the man
sat there enjoying the
ride, the wind blowing
through his golden
bronze hair as he
stared at the passing
landscape and passing
cars. I wondered what
was going through his
mind. Every once in a
while I would glance in
my rear view mirror to
check on him, and he
seemed as though he
didn't have a care in
the world. I saw what
seemed to be a great
peace on his face. I
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS BULLETIN
A MISSIONARY'S TALE: Elbert James of Crestview,
right, during one of his regular missionary visits
to India. James article today shares a recent.
story closer home involving his experience with
a homeless man.
began to imagine myself
in his place, and I was
horrified at the thought
of being homeless and
destitute.
Then I began to think
about the Israelites
traveling through the
wilderness on their way
to the Promised Land.'
I began to think about
the promises God ,made
to Abraham before he
left his homeland and
headed to a place God
would show him. It was
then that I realized
we must trust in our
heavenly Father to
see us through the
wilderness and like
Abraham, we must have
faith and remember
God will take care of us.
As I came to our exit
to turn off the freeway,
instead of stopping at
the side of the road,
I decided to go to the
McDonald's restaurant
and let the man get,
off. As I turned to go, I
began to wonder what I
could do for this weary
traveler. It was then
' that God spoke to my
heart and said, "As you
have done unto the least
of these my brethren, ye
have done it unto me."
I reached into my
pocket and pulled out
what money I had. My
sister reached into her
purse and contributed
more. I don't know how
much it was, but I know
it was all we had. I then
saw his clothes were
soiled and dirty and that
he needed more clothes.
So I pulled off my shirt
and gave it to him.
He said, "You don't
have to do that."
I assured him the
shirt was not dirty
because I had put it on
to go to Pensacola just a
few hours earlier.
I asked the man if
I could have a word of
prayer with him. He
welcomed the thought.
As he stood in the back
of the truck I stood on
.the ground and began
to pray for him. After
the prayer, I bid him a
pleasant journey.
As I drove home
I couldn't help but
wonder what else I
could do for him. The
thought came to me to
go homeland get some
new shirts and pants'
I had never worn. I
hurried home and dug
out some of the new
stuff and hurried back
to the spot where I
had dropped the man
off. When I got there, I
didn't see him and was
afraid he had gotten
back on the highway to
continue his journey. I
finally saw him coming
from the Wal-Mart. As
he approached, I offered
him the new clothes. He
refused and said that
he appreciated the offer
but he had no space in
his backpack. I could
see his pack was indeed
full, so I didn't insist.
That evening when
I got home, my wife
was curious as to
what had happened
to my shirt. Before I
could say anything,
my sister said, "Now
I fully understand the
meaning of 'giving the
shirt off your back.'"
That night as I
prayed, I thanked God
that He had allowed us
the privilege to work in
his vineyard to bring
healing and comfort
to someone. He had
reminded us that we
are as the grass that
is here today and gone
tomorrow, and that "if
we can help somebody
as we pass this way,
then our living shall not
be in vain."

Crestview. "Right now we
send all our businesses
from here to Destin and
Niceville." Wants to offer
incentives for businesses
to locate here.
Baugh: Welcomes all of
businesses, industrial or
retail. "We are now the larg-
est city in Okaloosa County
and we should have enough
rooftops (residents) to at-
tract businesses."
Bowman: Welcomes any
reputable business "that
people desire to have"; says
"A way to implement these
items would be to work to-
gether and be.together."
2. What are your long-
range plans for the city,
and how should the 'city
implement those plans?
Wells: First, control the
budget. Second, get infra-
structure correct. "My big
push is going to be for more
connector roads. Sewer
and water is OK. That long
range planning will attract
businesses and residents"
for controlled growth.
Conyers: Prioritize
needs. "We have to work on
our infrastructure, and we
have to work on our budget
also. As we work we have to
plan which way we want to
go."
Grandberry: "I think
we need to address tomor-
row's needs today." Says
BRAC influx means a need
for more schools and high-
ways, more police, more
roads, public works.
Baugh: Have a compre-
hensive plan and a five-year
plan. "We have to make
sure we can provide for
the citizens- that are here
currently." Would consider
the budget while planning.
Would plan for adequate
protection by police and
departments fire and allow
for contingencies.

Bowman: "If we had a
10-year plan 10 years ago,
traffic today would not be
as it is." Says dealing with
traffic is very important in
a long-range plan. Bowman
worked on the city's first
comprehensive plan.
lannucci: Infrastruc-
ture must be addressed.
"We have to have reasons
why citizens want to stay.
That's the long-term plan";
wants to "Continue to build
the city as an investment in
itself, and the citizens are
the investors."
3. Do you agree with the
steps the council has taken
to provide a facility for the
FAMU pharmacy school,
and should the city main-
tain a similar approach to
its negotiations with FAMU
in the near future?
Conyers: Agrees with.,
decision provide a home for
FAMU. "It will be a boost for
the downtown. There may
be problems but I think we
will work them out."
Grandberry: Supports
FAMU because it will bring
more businesses. "It is go-
ing to help the downtown.
Most people don't realize
the downtown isn't open
past 5. It's going to bring
money and jobs to the city.
I'n all for it."
Baugh: Proud of his role
in bringing Florida A&M to
Crestview. Believes further
programs will follow. Says
FAMU's projected $9 mil-
lion annual impact "will en-
courage arid invite others to
come to our beautiful city"
and that FAMU will bring
jobs.
Bowman: Very much in
favor of FAMU, "but the only
thing I'm worried about is
the way the contracts were
done." Feels there should
be a reverter clause in the
contract.
lannucci:" "Absolutely
favors" bringing FAMU and
educational business op-
portunities downtown. Says
graduate students in their
lower 20s will "spend mon-
ey on food. They're going
to want to be entertained.
They're going to need a
place to stay."
Wells: Proud to be part
of the vote for FAMU and in-
sisted on a reverter clause
in their contract. Says park-
ing, housing and restau-
rants for students must' be
addressed. "This commu-
nity will embrace FAMU,
but we have a lot of work to
do."
4. Water supply is still
an issue in this area. What
steps should be taken to en-
sure an adequate supply of
water to meet future needs,
especially in light of ex-
pected population growth?
Grandberry: Riture wa-
ter sources must be idepti-
fied. "As the city grows, peo-
ple will use more and more
water." Shipping our water
south to Fort Walton Beach
may be a concern.
Baugh: "The city has
taken an initiative to have
its wastewater treatment
plants reuse some of the
'water." Wastewater will be

used on local golf courses
and school sports fields by
2013. "We should have no
water problems well into
2050. We have adequate wa-
ter supplies."
Bowman: Supported a
Yellow River reservoir and
is for Crestview's wastewa-
ter recycling program. "Any-
thing that we can do to pro-
tect our citizens as far as the
water supply, I'm all for it."
lannucci: Says wastewa-
ter recycling plans "will be a
benefit." Supports citizens'
water usage conservation.
"I drive around my neigh-
borhood and see the waste
every day." Says encourag-
ing conservation now will
extend current supply be-
yond 2050.
Wells: Would reuse
wastewater. "We can help
with that; we can sell that
water and help with those
costs." Supports Yellow
River dam. Agrees with
lannucci's call for conser-
vation. "Sprinkler systems
still come on even when our
windshield wipers are on."
Conyers: "We know that
we have water until 2050, but
we have to start preserving
it now." Would prioritize wa-
ter needs and reuse water.
"Put our priorities where
they'need to be so we know
what we need to do to con-
serve water."
5. Do you agree with the
purchase ofthe former Citi-
Church facility at the Old
Spanish Trail Park? Did
you agree with the decision
to house the police depart-
ment there? What would be
the best use of the other two-
thirds of the building?
Baugh: "Allowing the
police in the CitiChurch
building and I hope we
get a new name for it al-
lpws our brothers in the fire
department to have needed
space." Says the building's
existing auditorium can be
used by the police, other or-
ganizations or citizens. The
other third can be used for
storage of city property.
Bowman: "I'm very
proud of the building. I sure
wish the city could have
bought it when it was listed
for $90,000." Called it "a very
beneficial purchase for the
city" because the police de-
partment is growing.
Iannucci: Agrees with
the purchase and police
move. Suggested using the
remaining third of the build-
ing as a training facility for
police, fire and emergency
staff. Proposed a "citizens
academy" so residents could
train with professional per-
sonnel. "The more we learn
about what our workers do,
the more we can appreciate
what they do."
Wells: Voted against buy-
ing the building because "I
don't think we spent enough
time exploring options."
Supports building new po-
lice headquarters in it and
retaining existing audito-
rium. "Would I support put-
ting money into it? Abso-
lutely not."
Conyers: "I would still
support buying it if we had to
do it over again." Supports
the new police headquarters
to bring the department all
under one roof. "We all know
that if we have a family with
children, we want them all
to be here." Supports using
the auditorium as is and us-
ing the rest for storage.
Grandberry: Supports
the new police facility as the
department grows. "From
my research, the new build-
ing is being done for a good,
price per square foot. Even
though it's a lot of money, it's
needed." Would like to see
the remaining third. used
for youth programs, such
as a game room. "There's
nowhere for the kids to go at
night."
6. What are .your spe-
cific ideas to help the city of
Crestview reduce its mill-
age rate?

says it will be hard in tough
economic times without re-
ducing services. "It's hard to
sayyes, I will trim thatrate. I
can say I will work to reduce
that rate if we can find other
fat to get rid of so as not to
burden the taxpayer."
Wells: "I think specifical-
ly the way to reduce the mill-
age rate is to look at what we
spend right now and why we
spend it andwhat we spend
it on." Called on citizens to
become involved in the bud-
get process. "Why do we not
meet and look at the budget
throughout the year?"
Conyers: "I would love
to see the millage rate go
down.", However, says the
city must consider services
it provides. "You must take
a look at what reducing it
would cost. If we would not
have as many .firefighters
or policemen, we would be
sorry."
Grandberry: ."I would
like to see the millage rate
reduced also, but as the city
grows, we would need to
have more police, fire and
infrastructure. You start
cutting back now in police,
the fire department or pub-
lic works, we'll see increase
in crime and problems."
I augh: "I would love to
see the millage rate go down
if possible." Noted the city
left it at its present rate de-
spite county advice to raise
it. Other revenues, such as
fuel tax, have also fallen.
"You don't want your level
of service reduced. It could
end up you would have more
money applied to your home
owner's insurance."
(Mrs. Bowman did not
hear the question correctly
and thought it pertained
to our local military pres-
ence.)
Each candidate was of-
fered a minute for closing
remarks.
Iannucci: "I am more
than happy to see passion-
ate people' come out for
our city. Regardless of who
you're voting for, take part
in your city. We can't do it
alone. There's only five peo-
ple on the city council and
they can only do so much.
As a candidate, I can prom-
ise you one thing: I am going
to do what is right and what
is best for the city."
Wells: "It's been an hon-
or to serve on the city coun-
cil for the last six years. It's
been ah honor to come out
tonight to see people. This
is your county and your city.
What happens in the city
and county effects us every
day. I hope people come to
council meetings and lend
their support. ... I'm told I
ask too many questions. My
pledge to you is I'll keep ask-
ing those questions."
Conyers: "We can see
how the candidates stand
on several points. I want to
thank all of you for coming
out to listen to us. The city
council is my heart and the
city of Crestview is my heart
and I want to do everything
for the people, because I
think we're elected to do for
and by the people."
Grandberry: "I think ev-
ery great city should have
great services. My pledge
is to enhance life for the citi-
zens of Cr stview. I'll make
the best decisions possible.
As time goes by, you can al-
ways give me a call. You're
the most important thing
here."
Baugh: "First, I consider
myself Crestview's 'walking
councilman.' I have worked
in every department of this
city and learned how our city
workers serve the people of
the city. I'm also a dad of a
teenager and get advice on
what our young people need.
I also have a vision what the
city needs to move forward."
Bowman: "I am just glad
to be here. As your council
member, I will work with
other elected -officials to
provide the same leader-
ship and energetic ideas
that have made me success-
ful. We will find innovative
ways to provide services.
Our city will find ways to
succeed and grow. We must
make the most of every op-
portunity."

LAUREL HILL from page 1
because too much emphasis
is on ad valorem taxes. "We
ask businesses to come in;
we open our arms and our
hands to them."
Campbelh "The only
. way you can do that is give
incentives. The govern-
ment can't force businesses
to come in. I've said all my
life that ad valorem is one
of the worst taxes we have.
in our system. It \penalizes
people who try hard." Says
the best alternative is to
have revenue from a sales
tax.
Hendren: "I would start
by attracting residents to
Laurel Hill. When we have
residents, we can attract
businesses." Would use the
Florida League of Cities
to attract people and busi-.
nesses. Also agrees ad va-
lorem tax is too high.
4. Is it possible to im-
prove the city's financial
situation and encourage
growth in the city, and still
lower the millage rate? If
so, how?
Campbell: "The obvi-
ous thing is to cut your ex-
penses. I know it's tough.
We have to cut expenses
any way we can." Suggests
adjusting the millage rate
and then setting the city's
budget to it.
Hendren: Says it would
be very difficult but not im-
possible to cut the millage
rate. "Our main objective is
to reduce our debt, which
is one third of our budget.
We can do this by line-item
reductions." Advocated not
filling city employee posi-
tions that become vacant.
Robbins: Ultimately
would see having to trim
city work force. "But right
now we have three outside
employees. We will have
to try as hard as we can to
get what we can out of the
people that we have." Says
reducing maintenance on
city equipment and not hir-
ing extra summer workers
are also possible. "If it be-,
comes necessary we will
just have to dosomething."
5. What are the imme-
diate steps that should be
taken to keep the city's
water system viable, and
what should be the long-
range !improvements to
the.water system?
Hendren: Says recent
receipt of a $300,000 grant
to address water issues
offers opportunities. "The
first step is to get an engi-
neer to tell us what areas
of the water system need
to be upgraded. We will go
through the entire list and
spend our allocation of
$300,000 for the citizens of
Laurel Hill."
Robbins: "We have an
adequate water supply at
the time." Counsels 'wise
spending of the grant mon-
ey. "It may not go far but it
will go as far as it can and
serve people we are try-
ing to serve." Says line and
pipe upgrades are priori-
ties for the grant money.
Campbell: Was studying
the recent $300,000 grant
and wanted to. be sure it
wouldn't be spent frivolous-
ly. "At one time there was
talk of putting in another
tank but that would be just
foolish. We have an ad-
equate water supply in the
city of Laurel Hill at this
time. That money should
be spent to upgrade the
system."
6. Are Laurel Hill's
needs best met by remain-
ing an incorporated city,
or ,should there be some
consideration of dissolu-
tion?
Robbins: "I would not
go to the point of dissolu-
tion the city of Laurel Hill.
That would be something
I'm against."
Campbell: "I have to
agree with Vizell. I love our
little city. There are many
legal questions involved
with dissolving our city.
You just can't hand it over
to the county. But we are a
democracy. If the citizens
decide to dissolve Laurel
Hill, it's not the mayor's
job to stand in their way."
Hendren: Pay off debt
to put the city on a firmer
financial footing. "I would
be very much against dis-
solution of the city."
7. Are there any issues
you see on the horizon
that have not been previ-
ously discussed that you
will address if you become
mayor?
Campbell: Would em-
phasize long-range plan-
ning. Would like to get
some of the federal eco-
nomic stimulus money to
address road repair. "We
have enough potholes in
our roads to give every citi-
zen a shovel and two tons of
asphalt and keep 'em busy
for two years. I want to see
a way of getting some of
that money."
Hendren: Attended a
county government lead-
ers meeting to learn how
the city can obtain some of
the federal stimulus money.
"The first item on my agen-
da is to reduce ad valorem
taxes. And I can agree we
have terrible roads and
I intend to start out with
our state representative to
travel those roads with me
and start working on im-
provements."
Robbins: Would also like
to pursue getting stimulus
money for the city. "Laurel
Hill is in dire need of road
repair. We want to do what
we can with what we have.
The whole city of Laurel
Hill needs to be repaved."
8. All three of you have
talents that would benefit
the city. How might you be
interested in serving the
community if you do not
win this election?
Hendren: "I offer myself
to support the community,
maybe on a committee to
work on long range plans. I
would do anything that the
city needs."
Robbins: "I would be
interested in doing what-
ever I could to help the city
with whatever project they
have on hand to try to help
and build the city of Laurel
Hill."
Campbell: "First off, I
intend to win this election!
I will make myself available
to the city council and I will
do whatever we can to pro-
mote our little city."
Each candidate was of-
fered one minute to make
a closing statement. Each
candidate used part of his
time to thank the citizens
who attended the forum
for their interest in city af-
fairs.
Campbell: "I have been
asked several times why
I'm running. First and
foremost is because an
overwhelming number of
citizens encouraged me
to run. I didn't want to
do this but people want a
change in the direction of
our city. The second rea-
son is I always enjoyed
being involved in politics.
I've always loved politics. I
feel kinda like (prominent
1930s Louisiana politician)
Huey Long: when I die I
want to be buried in Chi-
cago, That way I can still
vote."
Hendren: "No mat-
ter who you vote for, I en-
courage you to vote and I
encourage you to attend
city council meetings. We
welcome comments. I en-
courage everyone to meet
with the mayor. I publish
my phone number in the
newspaper and encourage
people to call."
Robbins: "I have lived
in Laurel Hill ever since I
was 9 years old and I am
75 now. It has always been
my goal to do what is best
for Laurel Hill and to do
whatever is needed for
Laurel Hill. If we do those
things, we think Laurel Hill
will survive. We want our
children to be raised right
there."

Overheard at the FORUM
Crestview News Bulletin I 7
'FIERY' from page 2
How did the community
respond to the candidates'
answers at Tuesday's north
Okaloosa elections forum?
Here are some of the re-
sponses collected at the
event and from the www.
crestviewbulletin.com Web
site.
Charles Baugh seemed
to be the most knowledge-
able of all presented. He an-
swered all of the questions
completely and seemed to
be the most energized about
the future of Crestview.
Tim Grandberry ... new
and fresh approach
Charles Baugh ... was
very well-spoken, had
knowledge on all the ques-
tions and had the "best
answers"
Chip Wells ... we have
supported him for years and
he seems to be the one who
knows what he is talking
about
Charles Baugh answered
the questions directly and
thoroughly
Chip Wells is the one who
made sense. Intelligent and
proud to represent the city
of Crestview.
Two words, Charles
Baugh. The man had his /
stuff together. I'm voting for
the dude. He digs the police
and firefighters and has
the city's interest first. He
spoke from the heart and *
had no papers or prepared
speeches at the end.
All I can say is we need
change. We need candidates
who care about all of Crest-
view as a whole not just
their neighborhood. Look
at the new fire station, new
road straight to Walmart
or repaving of streets. Sure
looks like Chip Wells' neigh-
borhood is getting a lot of
grease.
The clear choice, hands
down, is to vote for Charles
Baugh for precinct three.
I'm voting for lannucci,
Grandberry and Baugh. We
need change.
Lillie Conyers did ex-
tremely well
Charles Baugh, Tim
qrandberry and Chip Wells
have my support. Men with
a plan to move forward in
Crestview.
I liked some of Mr.
lanucci's answers, but will
give Mr. Wells the nod. I
liked Mr. Grandberry's
answers better than Mrs.
Conyers. I definitely was
informed with Mr. Baugh's
answers over Mrs. Bow-
man's.
Hey CNB I looked at
the events photo gallery
(online), why no pictures of
all the candidates that par-
ticipated? I know the CNB
wouldn't be biased against
anyone.
According to Wednes-
day's paper Mr. Baugh has
only been on the Crestview
city council nine months,
and had the knowledge to
shine at Tuesday's forum.
Charles Baugh, Chip
Wells and Tim Grandberry
were the winners, with Mr.
Baugh being the overall
favorite of the crowd from
where I was seated. These
three should be able to get
Crestview where we want it
to go and grow.
Baugh, Wells and Grand-
berry were my picks for
best of knowledge of the is-
sues presented. Mr. Baugh
was best overall, and I'm
proud he represents my
precinct. He asked for my
vote and he has it..

"Our guys are underpaid
and understaffed, and we're
holding them to the line at
the highest standard," she
said. "We do not believe
there is an ounce of waste in
anything we do."
BowersdeliveredCAMT's
rebuttal.
"How many times in the
past three months have you
heard 'our ISO ratings are
going to go up? Your insur-
ance ratings are going to go
up? We will have to go to an
all-volunteer force?' Bow-
ers asked.
"(Many) other forces in
Okaloosa County have all vol-
unteer forces," he observed.
"Can the NOFD disband?
The NOFD was established
(and can only be 'dissolved)
by the Florida legislature.
Do you really think the legis-
lature is going to do that?
"I will concede if you have
a 9 rating instead of a 5 rat-
ing, your rates may go up,"
Bowers said. He then listed
the factors that determine
an ISO rating.
"The (emergency dis-
patch) system is working
very well and that is not go-
ing to change," Bowers said.
"The second factor is, do
we have the personnel and
equipment?" he asked.
"The third factor is, does
the community have an ad-
equate water supply?
"We have a dispatch sys-
tem, personnel and equip-
ment. What we need to be
doing is improving the ISO
rating for those with a 9,"
Bowers said. "For that we
need more fire hydrants."
Bowers said to make ISO
ratings worse, the NOFD
would have to dismiss most
of the firefighters, and dis-
connect from dispatch sys-
tem. Before operations were
consolidated at the airport
fire station, most people
were within range of other
stations, Bowers said.
"We need better manage-
ment, and more money won't
produce better manage-
ment,". Bowers said. "If we
give them more money now,
they'll be right back later. I
encourage you to vote no."

Tough
Baker boys
basketball bows
out in regional
semifinals
RANDY DICKSON
Crestview News Bulletin
C OTTONDALE-- It took 28
games for a Class 2A boys
basketball team to beat
Baker.
Unfortunately for the
Gators, that loss came at the
hands of Cottondale in the Region
1-2A semifinals.Tuesday.
Baker fell to the Hornets 72-70
in triple overtime to finish the sea-
son with a 24-4 record.
The Gators notched wins
against Class 5A schools Mosley
and county rival Crestview dur-
ing a season that clearly marked
Baker boys basketball's return to
prominence.
FINISH
Copyrighted MaterialI
5L r Syndicated Content. .
Available from Commercial News Providers"
Two of the four Gator losses
came at the hands of Alabama big
school power Pinson Valley and a'
traditionally strong Oliver Springs
team from Tennessee in the Free-
port Christmas tournament.
Baker lost to Crestview late in
the season before falling to Cot-
tondale on Tuesday.
Moments after the tough
loss, Gators coach Mike Martello
paid tribute to the senior class
F that
had just
ended
their
Baker careers.
Some ot the seniors had
been on the varsity since the
eighth grade and others since
their freslunan or sophomore
years.
"Thrdugh thick and thin our
seniors have just been the back-
bone of this program for the past
four years.," Martello said. "They
played their hearts out tonight.
"They truly did."
Stephen Shelley led the Gators
with 23 points in his final game.
Cameron Davis added 14 in his
last appearance on the hardwood.
Josh Rose scored eight in his
swan song.
The other Gators suiting tip
-for the last time were Josh Yost,.
Phillip Hills, Chris Jones and Bill
Copeland.
Martello hated seeing the sea-
son end with the loss, but pointed
out that only the state champions
will end the year on a winning
note.
"It's a shame that in basketball
there is only one team that wins
the last game of the season, and
that's the eventual state cham-
pion," he said. "We don't
have that luxury that foot-
ball does (if a team wins its
regular season finale but
does not make the playoffs).
You
can win your last game
of the season and build of
something for next year."
It isn't as if the cupboard
will be empty next year at
Baker.
The junior trio of Colton Henry,
Colten Jernigan and Chad Donley,
who scored 17 against Cotton-
dale, will be back for their senior
years. Sophomore Jarrod Batson
,stepped into a starting spot this
year and will be back to anchor.
the post for two more years.
Martello closed the book on the
211108-09 season by congratulating
the Hornets and thinking about *
what might have been.
Ny hat's off to Cottondale,"
he said. "They played hard for
- it wasn't 32 minutes, it was
4-14 minutes.
"It was just kind of sad to see
the season end for these seniors."
Look back at Baker's memora-
ble boys basketball-season through
our onlinie sports reference page
at w ow.crestviewbulletin.com.
Baker got burned by Cottondale's home cooking
Eight-man football is a
popular sport at schools
that aren't big enough
to field 11-man teams in
states like Nebraska and
Oklahoma.
Closer to home, eight-
man basketball seems to
be a popular sport in Cot-
tondale.
For those of you that
have never heard of eight-
man basketball, it was on
display in Baker's 72-70
triple overtime loss against
the Hornets in the boys bas-
ketball Region 1-2A semifi-
nals Tuesday night.
Cottondale had the
home floor and also got
some home cooking from
the officials.
I'm usually not one to
question or-criticize those
men and women who offici-
ate our high school games.
I understand that the few
extra dollars they pick up
for working games probably
isn't worth the abuse that
goes with the check"And
these people are a valuable
part of any contest.
I've developed some
pretty good relationships
with local officials in my
eight years of cover-
ing sports in Northwest
Florida:I'm glad to say the
officials in question weren't
those I know andxespect.
A former Major League
Baseball umpire once said
of his job,
"It's the
only
profession I
know where
you have to
be perfect
the first
NORTH END day and
ZONE improve
Randy Dickson from
there."
Perfection wasn't
needed Tuesday, but
fairness and balance was.
There were numerous
bad calls or no calls against
the Gators, but I'll just
focus on three that were
obvious blown calls. Had
they been called correctly,
they probably would have
made a difference in the
game.
The first happened in a
late-game situation. Cam-
eron Davis had the ball and
was trying to work his way
down the baseline. He was
hammered two or three
times as he tried to make
his move to the basket, but
only when he was forced out
of bounds did the officials
blow the whistle ... and give
the ball to the Hornets.
Incident two came with
19.6 seconds to go in the
second overtime. The Ga-
tors had just scored to pull
to within a point and set up
a full court press.
Baker forced a loose ball
in the backcourt as the offi-
cials counted off the 10 sec-
onds for the backcourt viola-
tion. As players from both
teams scrambled for the
loose ball, the Hornet coach
was awarded a timeout.
The problem with the
call seemed to be two-fold.
. First, the Hornets shouldn't
have been awarded the
timeout when they didn't
have control of the ball. Sec-
ond, once the timeout was
granted, it didn't change the
fact that the clock showed
eight seconds meaning a
10-second violation should
have been called.
The officials solved both
problems by putting two
seconds back on the clock.
The third call came in
the final overtime.
A Baker guard had gone
high to grab an offensive
rebound. He was behind
a Cottondale player when
he secured the rebound in
both hands. As the Gator
player came down, the Cot-
tondale player backed into
him and undercut him.
You guessed it. Foul on
Baker. The Hornets got the
ball on the offensive foul.
I focused on these three
plays because they hap-
pened right in front of me
as I stood on the baseline.
There were several other
questionable calls that went
against the Gators.
Even when it seemed
as if Baker might get the
benefit of the doubt, if two
different officials saw things
differently, the calls always
went in favor of Cottondale
after the officials discussed
the play.
I love the idea of having
.high school playoff games
on campus until the final
four, but there are times
like Tuesday night when the
home floor and the FHSAA-
assigned officials are more
than the visiting team can
overcome.
I have a simple solution.
It seems like it wouldn't
be too difficult to assign
officials from the associa-
tion the visiting team uses
during the regular season
to playoff games.
In college football and
basketball, when Florida
plays at Florida State, the
officials are from the SEC.
When Florida State heads
to Gainesville, ACC officials
call the game.
Kids work too hard to
lose a playoff game because
of questionable officiating.
Did the officiating play
a role in the outcome of
Tuesday's Cottondale-
Baker boys basketball re-
gional semifinal? Post your

GOLF TIPS
FROM THE PRO
Don't forget the
bump and run
JEFF MARKS
As told to Randy Dickson
If you find yourself too
close to the green to pull off
a short iron shot, there's
still hope you can get the
ball close to the pin, and
sink that putt. In today's
Golf Tips from the Pro,
Heritage Plantation PGA
teaching pro Jeff Marks
discusses that shot, the
bump and run.
Today, we are going to talk
about the bump and run. It's a
great shot to know any season of
the year, especially rght now when
it's windy.
A big mistake I see with most
golfers is they are trying to hit the
flop shot every chance they have.
They don't use the chip shot or
the pitch shot. Anywhere from
50 to five yards off the green they
are hitting the (flop) shot and they
don't need to.
If you look at the tour pros,
they are great at it because they
practice all day long. But when
they go and play a windy venue
like the British Open,nobody's hit-
ting flop shots. They are hitting the
bump and run, It's a great'shot to
know, even in Florida,
In the bump and run, you've
got to understand what the golf
-clubs can do. There are a lot of
clubs in your bag you can use for
the bump and run.
You can use the 3-wood, a
hybrid .or even a sand wedge if
you know how to do it. The typical
club for most golfers on the bump
and run is a 7-, 8- or 9-iron.
SThe way to hit it: You want
to play the ball fairly back in your
stance. What I mean by that is in
between the middle of your feet
and your back foot instep.
'We want to open up our
stance toward our target, so turn
your feet a little bit to the left (to the
right,for left-handers). Any time we
myve the ball back in our stance it
tends to shoot to the right (left for
lefties) so you want to turn your
feet to compensate.
I turn my feet about 15 yards
left of target (right of target for left-
ies). In relation to target line, I open
my front foot six inches to a foot so
my body is aligned with my target.
I also try to get my weight
predominately on my front foot, so
I'll set my weight about 80 to 85
percent on my front foot. I'll slide
my chest toward my front foot to
make sure I'm hitting down on the
golf ball.
That promotes good contact
on the bump and run. On the
bump and run, we don't want to
,scoop it, so we are going to set
our hands an inch or two in front
of the golf ball.
The key is not to 'hit' the golf
ball. It's more of a stroke like a putt
and not a hit.
If you can feel the club go up
and then strike down gently on the
golf, that will get the ball to carry
over the high grass you are try-
ing to hit over and then get on the
green and go.
You want to look at the shot
at hand. Say we've got 10 yards
of high grass and then 30 feet to
the pin once we get on the green.
What we want to do is hit a club
that will get you over the high grass
and immediately on the green.
In most situations, it's going
to be a 7 or 8 iron. The key is to
think about the shot and how far
you have to carry it As soon as
you carve get that ball 'I, '1, which
is usually on the front of the green,
that's the club you want to hit
Bump and runs are great
shots to know because you have
a much better chance to get it
close than you do when you hit a
flop shot.
SThe shot is a lot of feel and
imagination so it's important to see
the shot in your mind before you
try to hit it.
