Work on the proposed air traffi c control tower at the Destin Airport will have to wait for the project to be rebid after a 5-0 vote during the Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners’ Oct. 7 meeting.

“We received three bids, and there were some dis-crepancies among those bids,” Sunil Harman, Oka-loosa County airports di-rector, told commissioners. “Furthermore, we’ve de-cided we have to calibrate the scope of work with the FAA (Federal Aviation Ad-ministration) for the in-stallation of the tower cab equipment.”

The three companies that submitted bids to the county were Cathey Construction, Lord & Son Construction and Speegle Construction. The project originally was put out for bid July 1, and bids were opened July 30, where they were reviewed by Reyn-olds Smith & Hill.

Based on the agenda item from the meet-ing, all of the bids con-tained “mathematical errors and had differ-ences which exceeded $500,000 between each total-as-read bid sched-ule.” During the review process, it also was determined that a change in scope was

necessary to address addi-tional security measures.

A small-scale future land-use map amend-ment and rezoning of the tower’s site also must be completed.

Once the county is done revising the site and securi-ty drawings, the project will be put out to bid again, ac-cording to Deputy Airports Director Tracy Stage, who noted that the process “can sometimes be lengthy.”

The proposed air traffi c control tower project is one that’s been watched closely over the years, as locals and airport offi cials have been outspoken about the increased air traffi c in the skies above Destin, from military aircraft, personal aircraft, tourism helicop-ters and others.

The tower, according to the development applica-tion, would be roughly six stories or 67.5 feet tall and 4,419 square feet. The tower

was accepted into the Federal Avi-

ation Admin-istration’s contract

tower program in 2012.

Live music from Finga FAYA kicks off at 11 a.m. on the Harbor Stage with rock’n’roll blues. The Blenders will be serving up Jazz as smooth as buttery biscuits on the Main Stage. Modern Eldorados bring their wild, up beat Rockabilly Contemporary Country music and The House Rockers featuring Patrice Moncell bring soulful Mississippi Blues as featured in the documentary “The Last of the Mississippi Jukes” at 2 p.m.

AIN’T NO PARTY, LIKE A HOUSE ROCKER PARTY,

‘CAUSE A HOUSE ROCKER PARTY DON’T STOP!

One by one, musicians take the stage, strapping on electric guitars and glistening saxophones and a melody ensues. A few bars in, the music gives way to one of Mississippi’s great traditions, authentic blues, the genuine deep fried Southern kind. The House Rockers — aptly named for the band’s ability to wear out the most enthusiastic dancers — won’t stop until the last dancers drop. Patrice Moncell is returning to the stage for a special performance for Blues, Brews and BBQ. The band was featured in “The Last of the Mississippi Jukes,” a documentary by fi lmmaker Robert Mugge. The inspiration proved successful; the documentary can still be seen on the Starz cable network, and the fi lm help preserve this slice of Americana history. The House Rockers deliver

a sizzling performance, a non-stop, saxophone-playing-on-the-tabletop and tambourines-in-tow show.

MISSISSIPPI’S OWN QUEEN OF THE BLUES

Patrice Moncell is a bit modest about her achievements. Moncell has performed Mozart’s “Requiem” at Carnegie Hall. She has opened for Gladys Knight, Little Richard, Cocoa Taylor, The Temptations, The Spinners and Michael McDonald, and she shared the song “Summertime” with Etta James in 1986. In Italy, Moncell sang the gospel “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” and “Oh, Come All ye Faithful,” in Italian at the Vatican. “It was awe inspiring, fl oating in a gondola to remote areas. Some of my greatest memories” she says.

Back in the states, Mocell played Mae Wilkins alongside Mississippi bluesmen Vasti Jackson and Eddie Cotton in “Robert Johnson: Stop Breakin’ Down.” The fi lm, created by Los Angeles fi lmmaker Glenn Marzano, details the life of legendary bluesman Robert Johnson before he sold his soul to the devil “when he was a really bad guitar player.”

“When I heard her and saw her, she blew me away,” Marzano says. “Patrice’s character was fi ctional, but it was based on several characters of the day. She was awesome. I used to call Eddie ‘one-take Eddie’ because he was so good. Well, she was ‘one-take Patrice.”

Moncell also appeared

with the Jackson-based band The House Rockers in “The Last of the Mississippi Jukes” by documentary fi lmmaker Robert Mugge. The fi lm is still in syndication today. Dudley Tardo, drummer and bandleader for The House Rockers, says Moncell possesses “.....an immense intensity, amazing power and a fantastic stage presence. She can fl atten a roomful of listeners as readily as a late summer hurricane.”

THE MODERN ELDORADOSFounded by Gretsch

Lyles in 1996, The Modern Eldorados’ uncompromising sound and take no prisoners stage presence doesn’t follow trends, but on the contrary stays true to the roots of Americana while infusing it with individual swagger. Blending rockabilly with traditional country music, the band pays tribute to the essence of Ray Price, Webb Pierce, Hank Williams and Carl Perkins with authentic American honky tonk.

The Modern Eldorados have evolved a sound that taps deep into the roots of traditional country, western swing and the rockabilly style. Their songs are said to read like a roadmap tracing the roots of American music. The band has been described as “a cultural asset and a Mobile music treasure.”

exposure to the elements, its last restora-tion performed 10 years ago.

“It’s going to be rebuilt, all the rotten wood and everything taken out,” Museum Director Jean Melvin said. “It will be to-tally like new when it’s completed.”

Melvin and other community members have been hard at work over the past years to raise funds for museum restoration and landscaping projects and now are fi nally reaping the benefi ts of their efforts.

“The donation was given by the Shoults and Beach families from GoSouthern.com,” Melvin said of the most recent do-nation. “The amount was $10,000, and it’s primarily to restore the Primrose. We al-ways are asking people for donations, and we just asked and then they decided that they could do it, so they did.”

The Destin Area Chamber of Com-merce program, Destin Forward also has plans to fundraise for the museum.

“Destin Forward is required as part of the completion of their course to do a community project,” Chamber President Shane Moody said. “The project has to have a lasting effect, and this year’s class has adopted the restoration and reloca-tion of the Primrose and old post offi ce and plan to move them both across the

street and landscape it.”Melvin also shared plans of the im-

proved exhibit to the museum.“The boat will be moved across the

street to the right-hand side of the muse-um, and there will be an historical garden in the empty lot,” she said.

The Primrose restoration is set to be fi nished by mid-December, and the new exhibit complete with the landscaped gar-den will be revealed in the spring.

“The exhibit will be opened on May the 2nd of next year on Founder’s Day,” Mel-vin said. “At that time, we hope to have all of it completed.”

The walls inside the bright sunlit room were covered in art. Textured seascape paintings with driftwood accents, bold ab-stract oil work, and soft subtle pastels caught the eye in differ-ent ways as each showcased a unique technique and emotion. The eclectic paintings were all the handiwork of talented local artist Dinett Hok, a relatively new Destin transplant originally from Aguadulce, Panama.

“When I was young I loved to draw,” said Hok, when asked what first inspired her artistic passion. “I took religion in el-ementary school and I needed to draw something for an as-signment and I decided to draw Jesus Christ in pencil. When I turned it in they didn’t believe that I did it, so that was when I began thinking I must be good.”

At the young age of 17, Hok studied graphic design at the University of Panama as she sought to pursue a career in art.

“The closest thing I could take to art was graphic design. But in my courses I had to draw and learn the human figure as well as the graphic arts side,” she said.

During her university years, Hok freelanced, eventually land-ing a job with a company called My Name is Panama.

“Over there I would do art of daily life,” she said. “I loved to draw a lot about Panama; the buildings, the seascapes, and pretty much anything outdoors.”

Soon after college, Hok met and married her husband Mi-chael Hok, had a son and gave up her artwork for a while to travel and be a devoted mother and wife.

“He was in the military, and we were in Panama for two years then I had my son and we moved to Utah,” Hok said. “We moved all over the U.S. so I didn’t paint for a long time because I didn’t want to miss any time with my kid.”

When her son became a teen, Hok again found time to dabble in the arts and began water col-or portraiture, a short-lived me-dium that she soon traded in for oils and acrylics.

“At the beginning I started out with oil. I jumped right into oil, to me it was easy and con-venient because you can go to a baseball game and come back and it’s still wet,” said Hok. “I take a lot of time just reworking on area until I like it.”

Today, Hok’s paintings of-ten depict Destin’s white sand beachscapes and sunsets, and with each she incorporates a piece of gnarled driftwood.

“It’s just this place,” said Hok. “When we moved here three

years ago, I started getting back into it. Destin is so beautiful. I love running in the morning, and that is where all of these come out. I see these little spots on my run and I go back to them when I paint.”

As for the driftwood accents, Hok has even begun to use them in her most recent abstract paintings.

“I love driftwood and I love trees,” she said. “Depending on where you are at the tree’s shape is completely different. I love textures. I love feeling what I’m doing. I like feeling the wa-ter, feeling the sand.”

Hok explained that she often coats the driftwood in metals using silver, oxidized metal and sometimes even 24-karate gold.

“It’s three dimensional so you can see it and feel it, I always feel like I need to see it and touch it at the same time.” she said.

Currently Hok is preparing her work for two European ex-hibits, one in Italy and one in France.

“I enter exhibits worldwide,” she said. “When they chose my abstract one as the best 100 art-ists from the Palermo (Italy) I broke down. It’s just being inse-cure. I love my artwork and I just couldn’t believe that they were choosing my art.”

The Federal Aviation Ad-ministration has stepped back to let Okaloosa County and Jay Odom’s Destin Jet negotiate a settlement over a dispute on how Destin Airport is run.

And it appears the two sides are close to finding a solution ev-eryone can live with.

“We have bridged the divide between being proactively sup-portive of the airport operators, as a county should be, as well as sensitive to the community,” said Okaloosa County Airports Direc-tor Sunil Harman.

An agreement that would al-low Odom-run businesses to consolidate and manage two aeronautical service companies operating out of Destin Airport was to have been presented Tuesday to the Okaloosa County Commission.

The item was removed from the commission agenda last week, however, to give lawyers representing both sides in the negotiations time to formalize the agreement.

“We still have to take the terms of the agreement and flesh them out in the document,” said attorney Michelle Anchors, whose law firm represents both Destin Jet and Vertol Systems Company, an important player in the ongoing negotiations.

“We’re taking what would have been a two-step process down to one.”

Under terms of the agree-ment being considered, Des-tin Jet would absorb what was once Regal Air and become Destin Airport’s sole fixed base operator, providing such ameni-ties as fueling, hangaring and maintenance.

Fuel flowage rates would be increased as part of the agree-ment and a payment of $50,000 would be made to the county as part of a plan to expedite pay-

ment of a nearly $500,000 debt incurred by Regal Air.

Destin Jet will then be respon-sible for paying off the remaining $450,000 of Regal Air’s debt over a 24-month period.

In turn the county would agree to extend the Destin Jet lease termination date from 2044 until 2049 and clear up a dispute as to the starting date of the orig-inal lease.

A key “impasse” between the airport businesses and the county, according to Harman, involved Vertol’s Destin Airport operation.

The company trains helicop-ter pilots in Soviet-made ma-chines that have generated noise complaints for years from the community around the airport.

As part of the tentative agree-ment, Vertol will be prevented from running helicopter engines at the Destin Jet ramp on the north side of the airport between the hours of 10:30 p.m. and 8:30 a.m.

The company will begin mov-ing its operation to the southern end of the airport and the county has agreed to build a helipad to help accommodate the move, the agreement states.

Harman said the negotiations to consolidate the airport fixed based operators were made pos-sible after the FAA “washed its hands” of lease negotiations at Destin Airport.

It was thought the federal agency could block the con-solidation due to anti-trust regulations.

Harman said he is confident Destin Jet, which is recognized as one of the finest fixed base operators in the country, will make needed renovations to the former Regal Air complex, which had fallen into disrepair as its fi-nancial health deteriorated.

“To not do the improvements would be to put the Destin Jet brand at risk,” he said.

Jay Odom could not be reached by phone or email.

Destin has a lot to offer, and although its beaches are world-famous and its seafood delicious, there are hundreds of hidden treasures in the surrounding area of Northwest Florida that yield for fun adventures, day trips and weekend getaways. This column which will be featured on Wednesdays, will follow the wanderings of reporter, Savannah Chastain, and explore the many opportuni-ties in Destin’s surrounding area. I invite you to explore with me Beyond Destin.

When I was young I thought of horseback riding as and adventure of the Wild West. I thought of ranchers and slow-paced days in the sun and I secretly wished I could live on a farm just so I could take long galloping rides on a horse at night.

I never did own a horse or live on a farm, but when my husband and I ventured to Arnett’s Gulfside Trail Rides this past weekend all of those nostalgic feelings I had as a kid came rushing back.

Arnett’s is just what you would expect of a horseback riding ranch. A large open barn with seven stalls along each side houses 15 Tennes-see Walkers, a strong and lean horse bred especially for horseback riding. When not being ridden on the trails, the horses are allowed to roam in the pastures, two of which surround the barns. Three miniature horses and a min-iature donkey also graze the pastures offering their friend-ly noses to visitors and hoping to find a juicy apple.

Owner Karen Arnett and her husband, Tom, live on the property and oversee the horseback riding, R.V. camp-ing and events that are held on the ranch. Co-owner and business partner, Chris Find-ley takes the lead in most of the trail rides and today Chris was our guide, gearing up five horses for an hour-long trail ride through the Point Wash-ington State Forest.

After a brief introduc-tory lesson on how to hold the reigns correctly, guide the horses and ride in a saddle, I mounted a black horse named Jose Jose. As it turns out, Jose Jose or Ho Ho for short was the most good-natured and well behaved horse in the group. My husband’s horse however, a spirited 3-year-old named Lucky, had the ten-dency to munch grass and walk at his own pace leaving him behind the pack for most of the ride.

Once we headed out on the trail the horses instinctively formed a line and had no prob-lem following the leader, (well except absent-minded Lucky who needed to be coaxed ev-ery so often). During the ride, Chris informed us of local plant life, the extensive for-est property and facts about the horses and the trail-ride business.

It was a very relaxing ride, the wind blew through the pines causing a pleasant rushing water sound, and we learned that the ocean was less than a mile from the farm. Unfortunately, riding on the beach is not permitted in Walton County, so we stuck to the forest trails. Chris said customers call to request beach rides so often he would be a multi-millionaire if it were permitted.

We had a young birthday girl on our trip, so to make the ride more interesting Chris taught us all how to trot. Here is where I learned I am not a natural horse rider. Trotting is a jog-like gait for a horse so instead of the slow methodical walking we had been doing we started a faster and bouncier gait. The first time we tried trotting, I almost bounced right out of the saddle. My feet fell from the stirrups and I held onto the reigns so tightly my horse stopped in its tracks. I then remembered our les-son in the beginning that pull-ing back on the reigns means halt; my poor confused horse.

The second time we tried

the trot I did much better. Chris had given me some pointers and tightened my stirrups so I didn’t bobble quite as much, but I still found myself grabbing hold of the saddle horn to keep steady. I definitely need more practice.

When we arrived back at the farm we dismounted and explored the property. There was a little shop on the grounds called the Boot Shop which had a wonderful array of fancy cowboy boots, cowboy hats and western jew-elry for sale. There was a new event barn that Karen dubbed the Tack Room that offered a

spacious area for wedding re-ceptions or gatherings with a clean yet rustic western mo-tif. Also on the grounds was a smaller screened in pavilion available for birthday parties or smaller events.

For campsite, Arnett’s has 16 R.V. hook-ups, restrooms and showers and wireless Internet for guests. And of course, being a horse ranch, Arnett’s offers stalls for visi-tors traveling with horses upon reservation. So whether you are an experienced rider or a novice like me, giddy on up to Arnett’s and enjoy a lei-surely ride in the Florida sun.

Russell, Springsteen and the art of saving

“Now mister the day my number comes inI ain’t ever gonna’ ride in no used car again.”

— from “Used Cars” as performed by Bruce Springsteen

Somewhere between directing “Jaws” and “E.T.,” Steven Spielberg found time to produce the movie “Used Cars.” Released in 1980 and starring the late Jack Warden (in two roles) and Kurt Russell, the story chronicles the career of Rudy Russo (Russell), a fast-talking, gum-popping used car salesman who needs to raise $60,000 to enter state politics. Yep, only 60 grand will buy the party nomination. Talk about your good ol’ days.

When Russo’s boss Luke dies during a test drive of one of his prized cars, Luke’s power hungry brother Roy stands to inherit the car lot. But Russo and his fellow salesmen fight the local political powers to maintain control of the business and stage a series of hilariously shady sales events to promote profits. In the midst of the chaos, the deceased owner’s daughter appears and claims ownership of the business for herself. And Russo is smitten with her.

It’s a silly comedy, but wonderfully entertaining. And who doesn’t like Kurt Russell?

What’s the economic connection? Each evening when Russo arrives home, he tosses his newly made car sales cash into a portable safe. Then, with a red marker, he colors in the new high-water mark on the “savings thermometer” on his refrigerator. Thus, he is able to watch his savings grow visually and gauge his progress toward his $60,000 goal.

Saving is a lost art, one that took a huge hit during the credit card era. Yes, borrowed money is currently cheap, with today’s low interest rates. But like the saying goes, no man’s credit is as good as his cash.

Want to surprise yourself? Try this for a month. Each time you or you and your spouse consider an optional expenditure, choose instead not to spend the money, and color in on a “savings thermometer” the estimated amount that you saved. Tired and don’t want to cook tonight? Eat at home anyway, and give yourself credit for, say, $100, if you would have dined in a relatively upscale restaurant. Need a couple of new lamps for the hall entry way? Pass on ordering them online, and color in another $250.

At month’s end, look at the total savings. It’s staggering how much we all spend on unnecessary items. Brown bag it at work instead of grabbing a sandwich out, even for just a month. That savings attitude becomes a habit that may mean a more abundant retirement account. The rewarding aspect of compounding interest can allow those saved dollars to be worth more when you need them down the road, when that previous expenditure is only a dim memory.

Emerald Coast Autism Center strives to reach kids, support families

According to recent statistics, autism now affects one out of every 68 children, and is more than four times more likely to present in boys than in girls.

A bio-neurological development disability, autism often appears in children before their third birthday, and it impacts the development of the brain responsible for social interaction, communications skills, and cognitive functions. Roughly 40 percent of children on the autism spectrum are non-verbal. While the causes of and treatments for autism is hotly and passionately debated, everyone, researchers, doctors, and parents, agree that early intervention is the key to successful treatment.

In 2009, The Emerald Coast Autism Center opened in Valparaiso providing cutting edge research-based education and therapy for five children. Today, ECAC works with 68 children and their families to provide year round private school and intensive therapy. With a motto of “Reaching Kids, Supporting Families,” ECAC utilizes Applied Behavior Analysis therapy for their students

and provides an extensive support network for families. The goal of ECAC’s therapy is to help each child reach his or her potential by identifying, implementing, and evaluating the ways each student learns best. The primary goals of ABA therapy include increasing language skills, socialization, and functional behaviors. Students at ECAC experience highly individualized attention, often benefiting from a 1:1 ratio, and alternate between more traditional classroom activities and individual tutoring and therapy sessions.

As a result of the center’s outstanding reputation and the area’s increased demand for this type of service, the ECAC has outgrown its original home. Earlier this year, the organization, a 501(c)3 charity, launched an ambitious $2.5 million fundraising campaign in order to build a state of the art center on the Northwest Florida State College Campus in Niceville. This 14,500 square foot facility would

allow ECAC to provide services and therapy for more students and ensure that the center had enough room for consistent and sustainable growth.

Recently identified as the fastest growing

development disorder among children, autism is also consistently rated as one of the most underfunded. Tiffany Edwards and Ashley Phillips, ECAC Capital Campaign co-chairs, threw their support behind the project immediately.

“The growth of ECAC speaks to two important issues, the increasing demand and need for this type of service along the Emerald Coast, as well as innovation and commitment of providing top notch therapy and services by the ECAC staff,” said Ashley.

As part of the fundraising campaign, The historic Destin harbor will host the inaugural Fleets and Eats event on Thursday, Nov. 13, to raise both awareness and funds for the new ECAC facility.

Designed to increase business on the harbor after the fishing rodeo,

Fleets and Eats will give participants an opportunity to experience their favorite restaurants in a fun and creative way. Guests will begin the journey at Boshamps for heavy hors d’oeuvres and cocktails, and then be transported by boat to Harbor Docks and Dewey Destin’s for more food and signature libations. You’ll end your night back at Boshamps, where the Donut Hole will serve dessert, and Boukoo Groove will provide some after party entertainment. You can purchase your ticket for shuttles leaving between 5 and 7:20 that evening.

All proceeds from Fleets and Eats will go directly to the ECAC capital campaign. If you’re lucky enough to have healthy kids, chances are you know someone who needs the support provided by the ECAC, and Fleets and Eats is a perfect way to enjoy the harbor and help this great organization reach its goal. You can purchase tickets at ECAC’s website, www.ecsutismcenter.org.

The city of Destin’s effort to re-open the pools at its now defunct YMCA on Nov. 1 has been nixed by a Bankruptcy Court trustee.

Mary Colon, a trustee appointed Oct. 18 to oversee the Chapter 7 bank-ruptcy fi ling of the YMCA of Florida’s Emerald Coast, has ordered all of the non-profi t corporation’s assets frozen.

“Until that’s vacated we can’t move forward,” said Destin spokesman Doug Rainer.

Okaloosa County’s three YMCA branches, in Destin, Fort Walton Beach and Crestview, closed their doors Oct. 10, and the Emerald Coast corporation that oversaw the opera-tions of all three fi led for bankruptcy

a week later.Urged on by swimming enthusi-

asts, Destin’s City Council voted Oct. 20 to enter into a short term $30,000 lease with the Mattie Kelly Arts Foun-dation to keep the two Y pools in the city open through the end of the year.

The Destin Y was built on land it leased from the Arts Foundation.

Arts Foundation Director Marcia Hull and Foundation Board Chairman Glenn Cooper did not return phone calls Friday, but Rainer said the city’s hands are tied until the trustee loos-ens her grip on the Emerald Coast Y’s assets.

“The city council deals with the Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation,” he said. “We won’t have any more in-volvement with this until the lease is released.”

Harold Peek, the attorney repre-senting the YMCA of Florida’s Emer-

ald Coast in the bankruptcy proceed-ings, said the trustee’s role in a Chap-ter 7 case is to oversee the liquidation of all assets so that those assets can be distributed among creditors.

A fi rst meeting of creditors is scheduled for Dec. 16, so it will be at least that long before any consider-ation can be given to re-opening the Destin Y pool, Peek said.

“After that date I feel Ms. Colon will make a decision on what she wants done,” he said.

Even then, he said, it is unclear what course of action Colon will de-cide is best to take with what is prob-ably among the Emerald Coast Y’s most valuable assets.

“I suspect the Kelly Foundation, Destin, Ms. Colon and maybe Beach Community Bank will be more in-volved in that discussion than I will,” he said.

OBITUARIES

On Nov. 1, 2014, Phipps McGee, loving husband and father, passed away after a brief battle with cancer. He was born in Bonifay, Fla., to Jack and Marjorie Belle McGee.

Phipps moved to Fort Walton Beach, Fla., in the 1950s where he graduated from Choctawhatchee High School and the University of West Florida. At the time of his passing, Phipps was employed with Eglin Federal Credit Union for 38 years, most recently serving as president and CEO.

Phipps was a former Kiwanian and a member

of Destin United Methodist Church.

He leaves behind his wife, Jeannie; and sons, Jack of Destin, Fla., and Will of Gainesville, Fla. Phipps also leaves behind his devoted extended credit

union family, as well as his many in-laws, cousins, nieces and nephews.

Phipps was preceded in death by his father, Jack; his mother, Marjorie; and his beloved sister, Ann.

Per his wishes, there will be a private family memorial.

Phipps was a man of great strength and dignity and will live in our hearts forever.

Mrs. Jodene Lysinger, 77, of Destin, Fla., formerly of Mountain Brook, Ala., entered into eternal life on Oct. 25, 2014. Her spirit is carried on by her husband, her four children, and 12 grandchildren.

Jodene Elizabeth Scott was born to the late Joseph and Thelma Scott on Aug. 10, 1937, in Detroit, Mich. “Jo,” as her loved-ones called her, grew up in McKeesport, Penn., where she met and married the love of her life, Rex Jackson Lysinger. In their 56 years of marriage, Jo led a life of selfl ess giving and dedication not only to her husband, children and grandchildren, but to her friends, church and community as well.

Throughout her life Jodene was an enthusiastic and dedicated Christian, choosing volunteer opportunities which enabled her to spread the word and goodness of Christ. As a member of The Community Church of Santa Rosa Beach, Fla., she cared for children in the nursery and was a member of numerous Bible Study and congregational care groups. Jodene dedicated countless hours as a Stephen Minister, ministering to those in need of comfort, companionship and spiritual support. She also volunteered in pastoral care at Sacred Heart Hospital Emerald Coast.

She and her husband Rex traveled to several developing countries with a Christian faith charity organization to further the word of God and help children in

medical need. Jodene loved spending time with her friends and family, playing tennis, and reading. She was an amazing wife, adoring and dedicated mother, and an exceptionally wonderful grandmother.

Jodene was truly blessed. She leaves to cherish her memory her husband Rex; daughters, Teri Bundy, Beth LeMay and Holly Moller; son, Rex Lysinger; 12 grandchildren; and a host of family and friends who loved her.

Jodene is now one of heaven’s brightest stars.

Jodene’s family will hold a Celebration of Life Ceremony at 10 a.m. Nov. 28 at The Community Church of Santa Rosa Beach, 3524 Highway 98 West in Santa Rosa Beach.

In addition to the service, a visitation will be held from 5-7 p.m. Dec. 5 at The Country Club of Birmingham in Mountain Brook.

In lieu of fl owers, a donation can be made in Jodene’s name to either The Community Church of Santa Rosa Beach or to Sacred Heart Hospital Emerald Coast, 7800 U.S. Highway 98 W, Miramar Beach, FL, 32550.

Executive Chef Al Massa, The Log’s Chef of the Month for November, has been in the culinary business 20 years this month.

“I actually have had the responsibility for leading a kitchen for about nine years,” Massa told The Log. “I have been at the Marina Café for two months.”

Like many chefs, Massa began cooking in his family’s kitchen. His mother would try new dishes and experiment with recipes from Gourmet and Bon Appétit Magazine.

“My grandmother would make ravioli, gnocchi and cavatelli from scratch, so one of the fi rst things I remember was rolling out the pasta and rolling it over the fork to get the ridges on the dense pasta,” Massa said. “My grandfather used to kiddingly call this ‘sinkers.’ I would have been 9 or 10 at the time.”

After separating from the Air Force, Massa had to make a career decision.

“The question came down to what can I do versus what do I want to do,” he said. “Several trips to New Orleans and experiencing the food there brought the issue into focus. While leafi ng through a copy of Bon Appétit, I saw the advertisements on the back pages for the major cooking schools and it all fi nally clicked.”

Massa attended culinary school at Johnson and Wales, but said his actual training came during more than 10 years working for Emeril Lagasse.

“My real training was on the line at Emeril’s

Nola and Delmonico, two very demanding restaurants. My fellow cooks were pretty cutthroat and competition for advancement was very keen.”

He enjoys most whatever foods he

is making at the time. However, his favorite cuisines are Italian, because of his

heritage, and Asian, because

it is such a stylistic opposite of Italian.

“I just try and produce food that is balanced and well seasoned and as creative as possible.”

For those who spend Thanksgiving at Marina Café, Massa has prepared a menu that includes traditional favorites as well as a few special touches, like Oysters Rockefeller.

Q: Is there a food you just don’t like?

A: Lately, I have been re-introducing myself to liver, done Italian Veneto style, cooked medium rare with vinegar and onions.

Q: What is the most necessary ingredient for recipes?

A: That’s an easy one — salt. There is nothing worse than bland tasteless food.

Q: What is the hardest part of cooking for a beginner?

A: Cooking fi sh always seems daunting for home cooks. They just don’t like to get that pan hot enough to not have the fi sh stick; it must be the sight of the oil starting to produce wisps of smoke that scares them off.

Q: What is the best piece of advice you would give a home cook?

A: I would echo what Chef Emeril and what Chef Dave McCelvey, my chef at Emeril’s, told me again and again. “Season your food, taste your food.”

Capt. Mike Eller and crew aboard the Lady Em, as always, backed in Friday night dressed in a theme tossing beads to the crowd gathered on the docks. This year’s theme was “Amish.” Capt. Eller and crew like to end the rodeo with the tossing of beads and wowing the crowd with their mystery attire.

The crew that worked in the merchandise trailer selling T-shirts to jackets all month long got into the Halloween spirit and came down to the barge to show off their “bikini T-shirts.”

The 66th annual Destin Fishing Rodeo wrapped up Friday evening

on Halloween. Here is a look at some of the shenanigans that went on the last day of the month-long fishing

tournament.

Weighmaster Bruce Cheves dressed up as a jester. Miss Destin Kira Moraca dressed as a Mahi Princess.

Capt. Mike Eller and his wife Kathy show off their Amish outfits at the rodeo.

Capt. B.J. Teems and crew on the Realin’ Script came in all “gangstered and pimped out” with a couple of yellowfin tuna. The tuna were not quite big enough to make the leader board.

The judges for closing day of the rodeo decided to dress as judges, wig and all. From left are Mary Kenyon, Tuffy Dixon and Mike Wright.

the Seahorse backed in and tossed out a black snapper. It looked like a good one, and it was. Preston Downey of Mississippi weighed in a 10.6-pound black snapper that tied the first place fish caught on Day 18 of the rodeo by Letaine Daunis-Redding of Texas fishing aboard Suzie Q with Capt. Jason Hindman. Downey’s snapper finished in second place.

The New Florida Girl’s American Spirit with Capt. Jim Green at the helm came in with a daily scamp at 4 pounds in the Party Boat Division and then Capt. John Tenore had a 24.6-pound blackfin tuna on the Dawn Patrol for a daily in the 25 and Under

Charter Boat Division.At 6 o’clock Capt.

Kelly Windes and crew on the Sunrise came in with a fish to make the leader board. Ryan Montalto of Fort Walton Beach weighed in a 6.8-pound Kitty Mitchell for a first in the Reef Division. He also had an 11-pound scamp good for a daily.

Just before 6:30 p.m. the private boat Tunnel Vision pulled up with a huge amberjack. Mark Folcik of Gulf Breeze weighed in a 77.8-pounder for first in the Private Boat Division. The crew said they were fishing just off Navarre when they hooked the big jack. “We thought it was a shark at first,” Folcik said.

Minutes later, Colin Chou of Freeport walked up with a sheepshead to weigh. His catch came in at 3.6 pounds and big enough for a spot on the leader board in the Non-Motorized Vessel Division. He caught the sheepshead while fishing from his kayak, It’s Chou Time.

The last fish of the 2014 rodeo to be written up was a 13.8-pound grouper caught by Ian Richards on the Sweet Jody with Capt. Cliff Cox. His fish was entry No. 1,064 and good for a daily.

After Capt. Mike Eller and crew of “Amish anglers” on the Lady Em weighed in their basket of scamp … it was a wrap on another rodeo.

See you on the docks.

fish flash from page B8

double take from page B8The Cavs and Bulls, of

course, will be right there behind them. And so will the Toronto Raptors. But you already knew that.

What you didn’t know is that the Miami Heat is going to be good. Gone are the days of James and Dwyane Wade fighting over lanes. And now, finally, Chris Bosh can be the best player on his team, like he deserves.

When all is said and done, I think the Cavaliers will mesh and make the Finals. This could be the best season we’ve ever seen out of LeBron.

The West is freaking stacked. Take your pick. A number of these teams have a legitimate argument for “frontrunner.” I’m looking at the San Antonio Spurs,

Golden State Warriors, Portland Trailblazers and Los Angeles Clippers. Then, eventually the Oklahoma City Thunder will get healthy and join the party.

If Andrew Bogut stays healthy, the Warriors make it through the West. If not, I’m taking the Trailblazers.

And either will handle the Cavs.

The Raven Golf Club at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort has been selected to be the host site for the men’s golf championships for the Sun Belt Confer-ence for the next four years.

The four-year deal starts with the Sun Belt Conference men’s golf championships on April 17-21, 2015. The subse-quent conference champi-onships will be held each April through 2018.

“The Raven Golf Club is one of the best golf cours-es on the Gulf Coast, and hosting the Sun Belt Con-ference Men’s Golf Cham-pionship there is a great way to showcase both the course and the talent of our student-athletes. We are excited to host our championship at this great venue and great resort,” said Sun Belt Conference Commissioner Karl Ben-

son. “The Raven will prove to be a tremendous test of golf for our men’s golfers as they ready for the NCAA Regional Championships.”

“We are absolutely thrilled to be hosting the Sun Belt Conference men’s golf championship for the next four years,” said Rick Hileman, director of golf at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. “From hosting the PGA Champions Tour to staging multiple collegiate events over the years, this simply adds to our history of producing quality and competitive golf events at Sandestin. The Raven course will be a great chal-lenge for the players and the team that claims the title will certainly deserve it.”

The Raven Golf Club is a Robert Trent Jones, Jr. designed layout carved through the marshes and tall pine trees of Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. The 6,900-yard, par 71 course is

no stranger to hosting ma-jor golf events. In the past, the Raven has hosted the Boeing Championship, a stop on the PGA Champi-ons Tour, in 2006 and 2007. It has also played host to the 2013 NCAA Division III National Golf Champi-onship. Voted “Best new Course in Florida,” in 2000, the Raven has garnered numerous golf awards over the years from major national golf publications like Golf Digest and Golf Magazine. It is currently listed as one of the “Best Courses You Can Play” by Golfweek.

The 2015 Sun Belt Con-ference Men’s Golf Cham-pionship will feature 55 players from 11 men’s teams who compete over three-days and 54 holes at the award-winning Ra-ven Golf Club. The team champion will earn the conference’s automatic selection into the NCAA Championship.

DAILY TUNABlackfi n tuna were a regular at the Destin Fishing Rodeo this year, with one or more brought in every day. Here, Jordan Rockner shows off a 24.6-pounder he caught on the Dawn Patrol with Capt. John Tenore. His tuna was good for a spot on the daily board.

Pier/Surf

Inshore/Bay

Offshore/BottomTrolling for king mackerel is still good. Other suspects hitting the docks include bull mingo, scamp, white snapper, lane snapper, Almaco jack, blackfin tuna and gag grouper. Those fishing the bluewater, 35 to 60 miles out, have been catching dolphin around the weedlines as well as white marlin, sword-fish and wahoo. The Destin Fishing Rodeo saw a number of yellowfin tuna hit the scales from the 100-plus mile trips offshore.

The flounder are starting to bite on the outskirts of the bayous and around the pass. You can even find some on the inshore wrecks. Best baits are finger mullets, greenies or grubs or soft plastics on a jig head. Try using a short 1-foot leader with 20-pound mono and a 1-ought hook. Trout and redfish are biting on the grass flats. Pete Wright at Ships Chandler says look for the grassy areas. On the colder mornings, trout and redfish can be found back in the bayous on the muddy bottoms.

It’s sunny and clear with a northeast wind blowing at the Okaloosa Island Pier Tuesday morning. The water is choppy, but clear with a 1-2 foot wave rolling in. In the last few days anglers have been catching pompano, flounder, whiting, redfish, ladyfish, king mackerel and Spanish mackerel.

REPORT

Matt’s Take:I’m trying not to do it, but it’s

hard to deny the overwhelming impulse to drink the Kool-Aid and jump on board the LeBron express.

I mean, heck, I was born in Cleveland, Ohio, so that should automatically allow me to homer-it-up to the fullest extent of the law, right?

With the young NBA season upon us, it’s time for Andrew and I to dig in and make our predictions on how the season will play out.

Now that LeBron is back in Cleveland, are the Cavaliers automatically favorites in the Eastern Conference? Or are the Chicago Bulls, and oft-injured Derek Rose, the team to beat, given the addition of Pau Gasol?

The way I see it, the Washington Wizards and Charlotte Hornets (yes, the Hornets are back) will contend, but there really isn’t another team to be fearful of. Cavs and Bulls play in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Cavs are not going to completely gel together this season and their defense will be suspect, so the Bulls take it and move to the NBA Finals.

As for the Western Conference, if you expect any new faces to contend you’re mistaken. The Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Clippers, San Antonio Spurs, and Oklahoma Thunder are the teams to beat.

The Spurs and Clippers are playing in the Conference Finals, with the Clippers edging out San Antonio.

Anyone intrigued by a Bulls and Clippers Final? Yeah, me neither. But that’s what we’re going to see, so how does it play out?

I say too much Chris Paul and Blake Griffi n for the Bulls to handle. Clips hoist the trophy and become the kings of Los Angeles and the NBA.

Andrew’s Take:There’s no such thing as a

sure thing.Well, the Los Angeles

Lakers, surely, will not make the playoffs. They’re bad. Like looking-up-at-the-Timberwolves bad.

I am using “sure thing” in reference to the National Basketball Association’s (NBA) top teams. In the four years that we watched the “Big Three” era in Miami, the Heat won two championships, barely. And that’s the closest thing we’ve had to an assured winner since the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s.

Now, LeBron James is back in Cleveland, with a team that is better suited for winning, and I can’t even say that the Cavaliers are the favorite in their division.

The best team in the East is going to sneak up on you. The Washington Wizards are going to clean up. I’m not saying they are going to the championship, but they will dominate the regular season.

After shutting out the Crest-view Bulldogs 15-0, the Destin Peewee Dolphins are now one game away from the Panhandle Youth Football Association Su-per Bowl.

In 38 degree weather, Destin won the early Saturday morning playoff game at Crestview High School.

Destin’s Harrison Orr scored on a 60-yard touchdown run and had a total of 130 rushing yards for the game.

Zachary Thomas scored on a

32-yard run to the outside power-ing into the end zone, racking up 75 rushing yards for the game.

Chadrick Price scored on an extra point conversion up the middle and rushed for a total of 122 yards.

Jacob Castle and Maddox Hayles both had big runs moving the chains for fi rst downs.

recovered by Brandon Harnish. The defense had multiple team tackles lead by Price Bowen, Will Blanchard, and Zachary Thomas.

With the win, the Destin Dol-phins move to the second round of playoffs against Niceville 1 Ea-gles. The game will be at 11 a.m. Nov. 8 at Destin Middle School. If the Dolphins win, they are Super Bowl bound.
