LAUREL HILL — Florida offi cials no longer consider the city in “state of fi nancial emergency,” Councilman Larry Hendren said.

City leaders have received a let-ter from Gov. Rick Scott’s offi ce stat-ing that the city is fi nancially oper-ating effectively in accordance with

Florida Statute. Since 2004, the governor’s of-

fi ce had considered the city under fi nancial duress, based on results from previous annual audits, Mayor Robby Adams said.

The city is making monthly $700 principal and $2,200.50 interest pay-ments to the First National Bank of Crestview.

It’s encouraging that the city’s efforts have been noticed, city

leaders said.“Anytime you can get a nega-

tive mark removed from your city that is good thing,” Hendren said Thursday.

In other business, city leaders have unanimously approved an or-dinance to allow the Gulf Power Company franchise rights to oper-ate within city limits. The ordinance would allow Gulf Power to operate in the city for the next 30 years.

LAUREL HILL — Laurel Hill Spring Arts and Heritage Festival organizers may have found the secret to a successful event: increase the variety of exhibitors and time it right after a record storm.

“I just wanted to get out of the house and do something fun, and a small-town festival fi t the ticket,” Pensacola resident Ellen Guilfoyle said.

Saturday’s annual festival

also attracted people from Alabama, Fort Walton Beach and Niceville.

Food sales from co-sponsors Laurel Hill and Crestview Presbyterian churches raised almost $650 toward school supplies and Christmas food baskets. In addition, Crestview Boy Scout Troop 773 raised money by baking and selling Scout Cobbler, and Laurel Hill School’s drink sales benefi ted fi fth-graders’ New Orleans fi eld trip.

For Crestview resident

Margot Vickery, a native Scot, some of the music brought back memories of her younger days in Edinburgh.

“Every time I hear ‘Amazing Grace’ played, I think I am back on the battlements,” she said following the Emerald Coast Pipes and Drums’ performance.

The music, in addition to pipes and drums, ranged from acoustic guitar and vocals to jazz and gospel.

Children delighted in carrying, petting and chasing

a 2-week-old white goat named Bert from the Allie Lee Campbell farm.

The north county’s farming culture was also represented by two 5-month-old Gloucestershire Old Spot pigs from Grundel Hill Top Farm in Baker.

Exhibitors, some of whom joined the roster as late as the day before the event, included community organizations, artists, craftsmen, heritage re-enactors, bakers, candy makers and vintage car owners.


CRESTVIEW — Nicev-ille United Methodist Church leaders want to bring a second campus to Crestview.

Adding a North Fer-don Boulevard location would allow the church to boost outreach efforts and better accommodate church members living in North Okaloosa, they said.

Niceville UMC has an agree-ment with NBI Properties, which

manages Northview Plaza, to fa-cilitate in building a church on the plaza’s south end, Executive Pastor Greg McKinnon said.

Among the 16,500-square-footage, the church would occupy the former units of Movies & More, Terri’s Sports and Angel’s Doggie Spa. The church will have ad-ditional space to the left of Pizza Hut, which is staying.

The church has not signed a lease agreement with NBI as of this writing, McKin-non said.

An NBI representative said other plaza tenants chose not to renew their lease agreements or already planned to relocate.

A fi ve-year lease with renewable options would go

I’ve heard that “story is the

language of the heart.” As a lover of a good story, that resonated with me.

Isn’t it true? All over the

world there are masters at crafting the written or spoken word. Some are told in person to an eager audience of family and friends. Some are told from a television or movie screen to an eager audience of thousands.

You may experience the pleasure of a good story in a book or movie on a regular basis, but on Tuesday, May 27, you can spice things up by listening to a master storyteller in person.

Phillip Sekou Glass will begin weaving his stories at 6:30 p.m. and will wrap

them up around 7:15 p.m. at the Crestview Public Library.

This free event is an excellent chance to introduce your children — even as young as age 4 — to the art of

storytelling. Of course, adults are also welcome. Registration is not required.

This program is made possible by the generosity of our Friends and an anonymous donor. We’d like to thank Cub Scout

Pack 799, Webelo Den 11 and Wolf Den 4 and our Friends for providing light refreshments!

If you’d also like to fi nancially support quality family programming for our area or have any questions, please call 682-4432.

Regardless of whether you can give fi nancially at

this time, know that your attendance communicates to the state of Florida and

other supporters how much you value this kind of programming.

VITA program nets more than $152,000 in tax refundsUnited Way of Okaloosa & Walton

Counties, the University of Florida Extension Offi ce and Goodwill Easter Seals’ Volunteers Income Tax Assistance program processed 105 tax refunds, according to organizers.

As a result, an estimated $152,714 will stay in Northwest Florida’s communities, and the effort saved more than $14,000 in tax preparation fees.

In addition, “clients fi ling received fi nancial education materials from Okaloosa Saves to

provide tools needed for fi nancial stability,” a spokesperson said.

“Our appreciation goes to community partners, First Presbyterian Church of Crestview, Goodwill Easter Seals Fast Signs, IDTV, Community Bank in Crestview, the Costa Leadership Institute, CRI and Cox.”

Special to the News Bulletin

A gas explosion at a Pensacola jail resulting in hundreds of injuries has spurred the need for more blood donors, health offi cials

said. OneBlood staffers ask that all

donors living in areas unaffected by hazardous weather donate as soon as possible to help ensure the local supply remains strong.

While all blood types are needed, people with Rh negative type blood and platelets donors are in the highest demand.

Blood donated today will likely be transfused within two to three

days, OneBlood staffers said. Generally healthy people age

16 or older who weigh at least 110 pounds can donate blood. Learn more about donation at www.oneblood.org.

The 2014 Farm Bill has opened registration for the following programs:

• Livestock Forage Di-saster Program: for eli-gible livestock producers who experienced quali-fying grazing losses for covered livestock on na-tive land, improved pas-tureland or land planted for grazing. Livestock of beef, dairy, buffalo/beefalo, sheep, goats, deer, equine, swine, elk, poultry, alpacas,

emus and llamas are cov-ered. Okaloosa county has qualifi ed for grazing loss due to recent drought.

• Livestock Indemnity Payments Program: for deaths exceeding normal mortality due to adverse weather and attacks by animals reintroduced into the wild by the federal gov-ernment or protected by federal law. Such losses are retroactive to Oct. 1, 2011.

• Emergency Assis-tance for Livestock, Hon-

eybees and Farm Raised Fish Program: provides as-sistance for livestock graz-ing, feed and death losses; honeybee feed, colony and hive losses; and fi sh feed and death losses due to disease, adverse weather or other conditions such as wildfi res.

• Tree Assistance Pro-gram: helps eligible or-chardists and nursery tree growers to replant or rehabilitate trees, bushes and vines lost due to a natural disaster that oc-

curred after Oct. 1, 2011. The individual stand must have sustained a loss or damage exceeding 18 per-cent. Trees grown for pulp or timber are ineligible.

Okaloosa producers must meet fi nancial and other requirements to ap-ply for Farm Service assis-tance. Leases are required for program participation.

Northwest Florida State College students Karen and Richard Strong are passionate about education.

The Holt area couple are working toward their Bachelor of Applied Science degrees, according to an NWF State spokesperson.

Despite having earned a number of certifi cates and degrees, Richard’s going for one last degree — this time, public safety — and his wife, who already had an associate degree, will receive her B.A.S. in human resources.

Continuing their education wasn’t a hard sell, they said. It’s so true, Richard told the college spokesperson, that

he has a message to young people: basically, stay in school, work hard and go to college. (Read more about the Strongs on Page B3.)

It makes sense. United States citizens earning less than a high school

diploma potentially earn less than those with additional education and certifi cations, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ latest data.

Check out these median weekly earnings, according to the BLS:

• Less than a high school diploma, $472• High school diploma, $651• Some college, no degree, $727• Associate degree, $777• Bachelor’s degree, $1,108• Master’s degree, $1,329• Professional degree, $1,714• Doctoral degree, $1,623Not only that, the unemployment gap narrows as

education heightens. Unemployment rate by education is as follows,

according to the BLS: • Less than a high school diploma, 11 percent• High school diploma, 7.5 percent• Some college, no degree, 7 percent

• Associate degree, 5.4 percent • Bachelor’s degree, 4 percent• Master’s degree, 3.4 percent • Professional degree, 2.3 percent• Doctoral degree, 2.2 percentGranted, your pre-tax income may not look like

this despite all your degrees. And if you’re a millenial, it might be more

diffi cult to get a job due to several factors. Time Magazine cites a survey by the Workforce

Solutions Group at St. Louis Community College; according to results, 60 percent of employers said applicants just lack basic job skills. So they might have the education, but they can’t communicate effectively, dress or act professionally.

In a past job, I dealt with that a lot: Thinking that being asked to perform a task was an option. Reporting to work in fl ip-fl ops or glassy-eyed. Bemoaning bills, birth control and other personal issues that have no place of discussion in a workplace. Not completing tasks or fl at out telling a supervisor, “I’m not doing this, but I’m doing this...” (Can’t stress enough how this was another job in another state.)

I’ve read stories in trade magazines about millenials bringing their parents to a job interview. It’s what happens when you win a trophy for being a part of the team or get a gold star “just for being special” — i.e., without having earned it. (OK, that last part’s just my soapbox.)

Just some thoughts to ponder. In other words, back to the daily grind and usual

problems, which might be a refreshing change after the unusual destruction we witnessed during last week’s record fl ooding.

We’ll be following up on that, by the way. But as of this writing, there’s no new information on expected costs to repair damaged roads.

What’s your view? Write a letter to the editor or tweet News Bulletin Editor Thomas Boni @cnbeditor.

11-year-oldDear editor:On April 25, someone

came into our yard and stole my granddaughter Alexis’ adult tricycle.

I know a stolen bike, to some of you, is no big deal; it can be replaced. But to an 11-year-old autistic child, that is not so; it cannot be replaced.

That bike was hers and only hers. She is so heartbroken over this I cannot even explain.

Please — all we want is her pride and joy back. (See a photo of the tricycle at www.facebook.com/crestview.bulletin) If you see it, please call us, 912-339-7471 or 912-339-7429, anytime!

Update benefi ciary designations, avoid problems

You might not enjoy thinking about estate plans, but such planning is necessary to ensure your assets go where you want them to go.

It’s important to regularly review your plans with your tax, legal and fi nancial professionals.

You might be surprised by how many fi nancial assets and legal documents have benefi ciary designations tied to them. If you have an IRA, a 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan, a life insurance policy, an annuity, a transfer-on-death (TOD) arrangement, or any of a variety of other assets or accounts, you almost certainly named a benefi ciary. This designation offers a simple, direct and effi cient way to transfer assets to loved ones. As time goes by, you may experience many life changes — and that’s when benefi ciary designations may need to follow. If you are like many people, you might forget to update these designations after a marriage, divorce or other change in your family situation. And because the benefi ciary designation is a legally binding document, the asset will go to the person you once named as a benefi ciary, regardless of your current relationship status.

It takes little effort to review your accounts and legal arrangements to ensure benefi ciary designations are current — and if they aren’t, it’s pretty easy to change them. For some fi nancial accounts, you may be able to update the benefi ciary designations online. Just plan on reviewing your benefi ciary designations regularly, but especially when you experience a life change.

In addition, ensure your benefi ciaries know they will eventually receive your 401(k), IRA, life insurance proceeds or other assets that require a benefi ciary designation. This knowledge may help them as they plan and maintain their own fi nancial and investment strategies.

Although it’s important to update your benefi ciary designations and communicate your actions, you need to tend to other areas of your estate planning, such as providing care for minor children or dependents, deciding whom you want to receive items that don’t carry a benefi ciary designation, naming someone to manage your affairs if you become incapacitated, and specifying the control you wish benefi ciaries to have over their inheritance, among other considerations. Everyone’s situation is different, so consult with your legal adviser to determine the level of estate planning you require.

A potential problem with doing a stage production based on a popular TV series is that no matter how great the cast, audiences, familiar with someone else having established the role, know it’s not really “them.”

Fortunately, most audience members at opening night of “Happy Days,” a Crestview High School drama program production, didn’t mind that Wesley Barlow, Alec West, Katie Rocha, Sea Rush, et. al., weren’t Henry Winkler, Ron Howard, Marion Ross and Tom Bosley, et. al.

There was no need anyway. “Happy Days,” as Calvin Stewart, an observant 7-year-old said, “was a real old show, like from the ‘90s.”

Well, it was really from

the 1970s and ‘80s, but those distant decades tend to blur together, especially for younger audience members such as Calvin, who was there with his mom, Joy, to applaud his sister, Catherine, who played one of

the Calendar Girls.The weekend production

was a fun romp thanks to an energetic cast of 37 thespians.

Two performances stuck out: one that I anticipated and one that was a pleasant surprise.

As Pinky Tuscadero, senior Angeles Alexander gave her high school farewell performance all its worth, belting out numbers including “Message in the Music” and “Legend in Leather,” with a hint of a young Aretha.

I’ll miss her, along with

Wesley Barlow, whose Arthur “Fonzie” Fonzarelli had enough Henry Winkler to satisfy the TV show’s enthusiasts, but plenty of Wesley to make the role his own.

It was his performance that surprised me. Particularly since he put it

together in just three weeks after the original actor dropped out of the show.

Alec West’s Richie Cunningham was a wonderful study in a high school senior discovering that sometimes the world isn’t quite what it should be.

Kudos also to Michael

Brooks and Zac Sticha as the Malachi brothers Myron and Jumpy, respectively, whose antics — and Michael’s oversized sombrero — provided laughs whenever the duo hit the stage.

Katie and Sean as Richie Cunningham’s parents

were delightfully reliable, even if in his heavy glasses and slicked back hair, Sean reminded me of Corey Feldman in his “Stand By Me” years.

The series’ fans enjoyed many inside gags, such as:

• Quinn McCardie, Dyrell Jenkins and Jacob Smith as Potsie, Chachi and Ralph, making an entrance while singing the “Laverne and Shirley” theme.

• Henry Winkler’s glossy still as the original Fonz decorating the wall of Arnold’s malt shop

• Joanie, winningly played by Dominique Acol, saying, “Fonzie hasn’t been the same since he jumped that shark.”

Kudos to the CHS drama program for capping a stressful, storm-fi lled week with “Happy Days.”

After last week’s rains, it felt great to sit back, laugh and say, “Goodbye gray skies, hello blue.”

CHS drama department does justice to TV show’s stage adaptation

Last summer’s heavy rain and stress from January’s icy weather have contributed to widespread take-all root rot.

The culprit? A soil-inhabiting fungus — Gaeumannomyces graminis var. graminis — that causes leaf color loss and yellow grass patches ranging from a few inches to more than 15 feet in diameter.

Symptoms appear in the spring, but the disease can persist all summer and survive winter. Over time, the entire area dies as the root system rots away.

Taking acTionWhen disease occurs,

raise the cutting height.

Scalping grass damages the growing point; raising cutting height increases

the green plant tissue available for photosynthesis, resulting in more energy for turfgrass growth and subsequent disease recovery.

If an area of the lawn has an active fungus, washing or blowing off the mower after use will

reduce the disease’s spread to unaffected areas.

The amount of water and timing of its application can prevent or contribute to disease development. Most fungal pathogens that cause leaf diseases require free water — rainfall, irrigation, dew — on the leaf to initiate the infection process.

Still, irrigating daily for a

few minutes is not beneficial for turfgrass — it does not provide enough water to the root zone — but it does benefit turfgrass pathogens. So you should irrigate when dew is present, usually between 2 and 8 a.m., and only apply enough water to saturate the turfgrass’ root zone.

Beneficial nuTrienTsExcessively high

nitrogen fertility contributes to turfgrass diseases, so you should apply the minimum amount required for the grass species.

Potassium (K), key in disease prevention, prevents plant stress. Applying equal amounts of nitrogen and potassium is recommended for turfgrass health.

When disease damages turfgrass roots, it is beneficial to apply nutrients

in a liquid solution. However, nitrate-nitrogen increases diseases’ severity, so avoid its use when possible. Ammonium-containing fertilizers are preferred nitrogen sources.

Heavy liming has also been linked to take-all root rot increase. Since most turfgrasses can tolerate a range of pH, maintaining soil at 5.5 to 6.0 can suppress the pathogen’s development. When the disease is active, frequent foliar applications of small amounts of nutrients are necessary to keep the turfgrass from declining.

Additional maintenance practices are thatch removal and reduction of soil compaction.

ferTilizing haBiTsApplying azoxystrobin,

fenarimol, myclobutanil,

propiconazole, pyraclostrobin, thiophate methyl and triadimefon and excessively irrigating newly laid sod can help prevent disease development.

Ideally, the turf area should be mowed and irrigated prior to fungicide application. Unless the product needs to be watered in, do not irrigate for at least 24 hours after a chemical treatment.

Do not mow at least 24 hours to avoid removal of the product attached to leaf blades.

Since recovery of take-all damaged turfgrass is often poor, complete

renovation of the lawn may be necessary. Removal of all diseased tissue is advised. As a native, soil-inhabiting pathogen, take-all root-rot cannot be eliminated. But suppression of the organism through physical removal, followed by proper cultivation of the new sod, is critical to establishing a new lawn.

Turfgrass management practices, not chemicals, offer the best control of the disease.

There’s an old black and white photo on my Facebook page that was taken 40 years ago this fall. I was somewhat younger and weighed about half of what I now weigh.

In fact, the photo is the Gulf Breeze High School 1974 football team photo.

Some of my coaches and teammates in that photo have passed away. In my mind, those coaches are still strong young men and those teammates are fuzzy-faced kids with worlds to conquer.

I’ve been thinking a lot about those guys the last few days as spring football started last week. Two teammates in that photo, Ken Hardy and Mort Deer, were my best friends in high school

and we remain the very best of friends today. I still see other teammates from time to time at ball

games or class reunions. I’m Facebook friends with a lot of the guys and friends with other teammates’ wives not on Facebook.

And then there is another group of guys; I look at their once familiar faces and try to recall a name or when I last saw them. Time has a way of rushing past and covering memories with passing years.

The youngest of those teammates will turn 55 this year. Those old friendships and team bonds seem even more special now that we are all closer to the end than the beginning of the journey.

In the last 40 years, I’ve been a part of some great organizations in the workforce and in churches I’ve attended. From a team perspective, none of those groups match the experience of being on my high school football team.

Too often, clichés such as family, brotherhood and bond are used to express a group’s unity. Those words didn’t do justice to my high school football experience.

My teammates and coaches were, and remain, my family and brothers in life.

The coaches pushed us to find something deep within that we didn’t know we had as we pushed through grass drills before practice and wind sprints at the end of the day.

When we were punished with extra running or extra hitting for missing an assignment on the field, it was to strengthen our resolve, not to make the mistake again and to be a better teammate.

I won’t pretend there weren’t problems on my team or, for that matter, every team. I’ve seen teammates fight each other after practice on Wednesday and stand together against a common opponent Friday night.

Team members, like family members, might sometimes fight with each other, but they will always fight for each other against a common foe.

Yes, I still miss playing football. And I’d be willing to take the field to practice a few more times just for the opportunity to hit someone and compete.

But it’s the relationships with teammates and coaches I miss the most as I think about the start of spring football practice.

spring football practice

By RANDY DICKSON682-6524 | @[email protected]

baKer — Fourth-year Baker School football Coach Matt Brunson says he looks forward to this afternoon, when the Gators practice in full gear for the first time this spring.

“It’s going to be fun when we get in gear with these guys,” he said. “With hel-mets and no gear (shoulder pads) on, all you can do is teach them and make sure they don’t bump and bruise anybody’s shoulders. But when we get the pads on them, we will start sorting them out (finding out who can play).”

The Gators opened spring practice on Friday at Doug Griffith Memorial Sta-

dium’s field, which showed few signs of record flooding that soaked the area just two days before.

The absence of starting quarterback Jon Beck and assistant coaches David Oglesby and Rusty Oglesby, who were at the state track meet, might have affected the practice more than the heavy rain two days earlier, Brunson indicated.

“Overall, our guys did well and it was important to get a first day of no pads in so we can move toward getting in pads,” Brunson said.

It was a “great” first day, he said, de-spite the flood.

Then again, he said, “... our learning and techniques are going to be fine be-cause these kids have been working all the time (in P.E.).”

crestVieW — Crestview High School’s football team gets a B for spring practice, Coach Tim Hatten said.

“It would be what I call an above-av-erage practice,” he said. “Our enthu-siasm and knowl-edge of what we are doing is very good.”

Year two under Hatten got off to a strong start on Friday as the team moved briskly through a variety of drills.

The practice was an ex-tension of what the team has been doing in their football class period only with a full staff of coaches available to work the posi-tion groups, Hatten said.

“We’ve had them a season, so they just have to get a little bit better at some little things,” he said. Some defensive per-sonnel are trying to be two-way players for us. We are trying to make sure we maximize our talent.

“We are trying to do things that are conducive to being the best that we

can be ...”Hatten said the type of

athletes on the team will allow him to open up the playbook and the Bulldogs will do things on offense he wasn’t even able to the last several years he coach Pearl River Community College.

Hatten likes quarter-backs Corey Armstrong, Alex Maxwell and Rusty Moorer.

Armstrong, a rising junior, took over as the starter halfway through last season. Maxwell started for the junior var-sity and Moorer for the

freshman team. Hatten is pleased with all three quarterbacks.

“To have three people that really understand what is going on (at quar-terback) is just invalu-able,” he said. “I think it’s going to make a world of difference. It always has with our offense coming back that second year.

“What we are doing is so simple, but you have to know what you are look-ing at. I like the challenges we put in there for people, I really do. I think we are going to have a good com-petitive team.”

CAMPUS KUDOS


When Northwest Florida State College commences May 10, Richard and Karen Strong will receive their Bachelor of Applied Science degrees: Richard’s for pub-lic safety, Karen’s for human resources.

The couple, who live near Holt, have been driving to the Niceville campus for classes. Richard, a 29-year Air Force and National Guard veteran who already has numerous certifi cates and degrees, said he wanted one fi nal de-gree to culminate his college education. In addition to her NWFSC studies, Karen is pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in art at the University of West Florida and is on track to graduate next fall.

“Art is my passion, es-pecially painting with oils,” she said. “I had my AA de-gree and knew I would enjoy working toward another de-

gree in something I love so much.”

The couple hasn’t formu-lated their post-graduation plans yet, but they do have a dream for the immediate future.

“We plan to buy an RV and do a lot of traveling,” Richard said. “We will be validating our lives from the seat of an RV.”

In the meantime, he wants to send a message to local students.

“If I could tell young peo-ple anything at all, it would be to get their education ... I would tell them to take high school seriously, not waste their time and go hard after a college education,” Rich-ard said. “Their lives will be better for it.”

NWFSC will have two commencement ceremonies on Saturday in the Raider Arena. The fi rst ceremony begins at 10 a.m., the second at 1 p.m.

FROM STAFF REPORTS

North Okaloosa volunteers support Florida’s

conservation effortsVolunteers at USDA’s Natural

Resources Conservation Service allow the agency to stretch available resources, improve customer service and help the environment.

And at least four North Okaloosa residents help fuel the effort.

Susan Holley, Baker, and Mike Bailey, Rosa Williams and Reneshia Williams, Crestview, are on the Earth Team, the agency’s volunteer

organization. Team members help NRCS conservationists provide everything from conservation technical assistance to teaching and generating awareness about conservation through community projects and education.

In 2013, volunteer hours at Florida NRCS offi ces totaled more than 6,127. As a federal agency, that equals approximately $135,651 in benefi ts to the federal government and its taxpayers.

At many high schools and colleges throughout the country, students can get credit for courses or volunteer hours by working as an Earth Team volunteer.
