1.The ACC recommends that the $10application fee be waived for all furtherapplications

In 2010, there were 350 applicationsgenerating $3500 in revenue for the asso-ciation. ACC committee member DanRamsey supports doing away with the $10application fee. “We are not in businessesto make money. May help people to comein and do the right thing if we didn’t havea fee. “Ramsey also expressed that it wasinconvenient for employees to collect the$10 application fee.

Board member Brook Goldberg wasnot in favor of eliminating the fee becausethere is a cost associated with approvinghome improvements and while she wasall for making it easier for people to do theright thing, “We are spreading the cost outto multiple homeowners while benefit-ing a few,” she said.

ACC member Billy Neal commentedthat, “People do home improvements anddon't submit the fee anyway.”

“Home improvements that go smooth-ly don't cause us as much staff time asthose that are in violation,” said Board Pres-ident Pete Peterzen.

Peterzen also stated that in his person-al opinion, he doesn’t want another obsta-cle and that “it takes $5 of staff time to keeptrack of the money.” Approved 3-1, withGoldberg as the dissenting vote.

If you are looking for areason to get out and getinvolved, look no furtherthan the Holley by the SeaSocial Committee. As itsname indicates, the HBTSSocial Committee plans out-ings and get-togethers forHBTS residents and theirguests.

The two most well-knowngatherings are the Break-fast with Santa held inDecember and the EasterEgg Hunt held in April.These two events usuallysell out and are a great suc-cess. However, there is moreto this committee than justChristmas and Easter.

Committee Chairman BobGeller has served on thecommittee for three yearsand has been using everyresource possible to get theword out about other events.Geller hopes that with thenewly created HBTSnewsletter, more residentswill become more aware ofall that HBTS has to offer,to include social events.

The next main social eventwill be the Veterans’ Pot Luckon Nov.12, from 5p.m. to8p.m., at the HBTS BeachHouse. This potluck willserve to honor all veterans.

Chicken, ham and fish willbe provided, and all otherdishes will be brought bythose attending, with “left-overs available upon request”said Geller. The cost to attendis $2 per person. The SocialCommittee is donating halfthe ticket price to theWounded Veteran’s Organ-ization; the other half willgo toward the winning raf-fle ticket. Nov. 9 is the lastday to purchase tickets.

Geller and his wife of 44years moved to Navarre sixyears ago. Originally fromMaryland, he had a suc-cessful career as a mechan-ical engineer working for

John Hopkins University.He worked in the AppliedPhysics laboratory with theAdvanced Combat SystemsDevelopment, and wasinstrumental in creating mis-sile guiding systems for theNavy that were precise andnever missed their mark.

So successful was he andhis fellow-workers, he“worked himself out of ajob.” That resulted in an ear-ly retirement in 2005 and amove to sunny Florida.

His first time visiting thisarea was in 1976 and heenjoyed all subsequent vis-its. So when his brother-in-law retired and took up res-

idence in Navarre it seemedlike the perfect place to callhome. He likes the season-al aspects of the area with-out the extremely cold weath-er. The only thing he miss-es is the fall colors, but reme-dies any longings for thegolden and red hues of fallby taking a trip to Maryland.This also gives him an oppor-tunity to visit his daughterand three grandchildren.Geller also has a son thatlives in Palm Beach, Fla.

His involvement with theSocial Committee came byway of him and his wife’sinvolvement with othersocial groups in Navarre

such as the Red Hats andthe Emerald Coast Women’sClub. Many of the samemembers of the aforemen-tioned groups were involvedwith the HBTS Social Com-mittee and they invited himand his wife to join. Hisenthusiasm led to sugges-tions that he chair the com-mittee: he accepted and hasbeen the chair for the lastthree years. However, hereadily acknowledges thathe is not the committee;rather he is just the chair-man. The committee hasabout 13 members andmeets the first Tuesday ofevery month at 10 a.m. atthe recreation center.

Geller loves to hear ideasfrom other committee mem-bers and residents alike.However, he does becomefrustrated when he tells oth-er about what is going onand the residents do notseem to be aware of whatthe association has to offer.Geller thinks most of it isdue to the fact that manypeople use only one or twobenefits of the homeown-ers association – such as thepool, tennis courts, or weightroom - without being fullyknowledgeable of all theother benefits such as thesocial committee. He wouldlike to change that.

Recent events the socialcommittee was responsiblefor organizing was the latesummer and spring yardsales and a pontoon outingthat took the passengers toCrab Island.

Geller is presently work-ing on arrangements for atrip to Bellingrath Gardensand Home in Mobile, Ala.,for a viewing of the Christ-mas lights. The tentativedates for this are Dec. 1, 2,or 3. He would also like tosee past keynote events suchas Oktoberfest and luausmake a comeback.

After the Veterans’ PotLuck on Nov. 12, the nextmain social will be Break-fast with Santa on Decem-ber 17 from 9am – 11am. Ahearty breakfast will pre-cede a visit from Santa, cour-tesy of the Holley-NavarreFire District. There will beother activities for childrensuch as face painting andkids’ crafts. The last day toreserve a spot for this eventwill be Dec. 14. Tickets canbe purchased at the frontdesk in the HBTS recre-ational center.

Geller is now acceptingall ideas from HBTS resi-dents for future events; allsuggestions can be sent toBob Geller [email protected].

BOD: Tell us what you thinkOwners of HBTS will receive a survey with

their assessment invoice that will ask thequestions shown below. HBTS News staffadded a little more information and commen-tary in green that we feel may help ownersmake a more informed decision.

Holley By The Sea ImprovementAssociation, Inc. 2011 Survey

munity were built circa 1990. There has been only one increase in the capacity of

the amenities at the Recreation Center since theoriginal construction (Screen Room & Weight Roomadded in 1998). However, the user base has increasedby approximately 300 percent since the year 2000and approximately 50 percent of local HBTS resi-dents use the facility each year.

StreetlightsHolley By The Sea has several neighborhoods and

several major roads that have street lights that wereput in place by the developer prior to 1998 or by the

HOA between 1998-2001 and are required to bemaintained by the Association. [Currently theassociation pays close to $70,000 a year inelectric costs for street lights that were put inplace by the developer or the association priorto 2002. After that time, members of the asso-ciation who want street lights have to requestan MSBU (Municipal Service Buying Unit) tohave a street light and residents on that streethave to share the cost of the electricity.]

4. Would you be in favor of an improve-ment effort to expand the placement of streetlights throughout all of Holley By The Sea? Y / N

HBTSNEWSYard of the Month

November 2011

By Jessi StoneHBTSnews.com

Frank Valensi’s and Star Darling’syard on Aurora Drive in Holley by theSea has been chosen as Yard of theMonth for November.

Valensi designed the minimalist land-scaping himself and it includes sabolpalms, sago palms, windmill palms,canary date palms, orange trees, tan-gerine trees, century plants, variegatedcentury plants and Washington palms.

“I’m the type of guy who says the lessthe better,” he said, adding that he choseplants based on what he liked, the costand their ability to withstand North-west Florida’s cold winters.

Valensi and Darling bought their homein January 2009 after moving to Navarrefrom Ohio. Valensi said the yard was inhorrible shape when they moved in, butnow people in HBTS have said it lookslike Disney World because the grass isso lush and green.

“It took a long time to get it like that,”he said.

Valensi also does his own fertiliza-tion and maintenance on the yard. Aftertrying several products that were unsuc-cessful, he found Scotts Lawn Careproducts made a world of difference.He installed an irrigation system forall the trees to be watered simultane-ously every day.

When asked why it was importantfor him to have a nice yard, he said itwas probably something he inheritedfrom his parents.

“That’s just me,” he said. “It’s just asense of pride of ownership.”

HBTSNEWSMEET THE MAINTENCE MANAGER

November 2011

By Yvonne C. HarperHBTSnews.com

The Holley by the Sea Recre-ation facility and surrounding landused to be “so nice” Jackie Goebeloften heard when she became themaintenance manag-er five years ago. Sincethen, returning therecreational facility andland to its former glo-ry has been Jackie’sgoal.

The epitome of hersuccess is the HBTSBeach House thatopened one year ago.The new 3,600 square-foot beach house isavailable to all HBTS residents forprivate functions. It can be rent-ed for birthdays, weddings, anniver-saries, reunions or any other occa-sion. It features a full kitchen, greatroom, and restrooms. The pane-less windows on the south sideoffer a stunning view of Santa RosaSound. Always thinking of howshe can improve the facility, Jack-ie sought and received the fundsto add a couple of outdoor grillsto allow for more options to thoserenting the beach house.

She was also responsible forhaving the area behind the beachhouse on the sound-side cleared.

Her leadership and handiwork,

along with that of her three-manand one-woman crew is evidentas one enters into the well-man-icured recreational facility entrance.The trees that help shade the park-ing lot are healthy, and the crepemyrtles that line the walkway to

the front entrance aretrimmed and manicured.The fountain’s water isclear and sparkles in theFlorida sun.

Upon entering thefacility, the floors are shiny,the lights and fans aredust free, the main roomis spotless, the kitchen isorderly and the bath-rooms and locker roomsare well stocked and

unsoiled. A stroll around the facil-ity and the 48 acres it sits on pro-vide a plethora of examples of Jack-ie’s dedication to her work.

Jackie is originally from Ohio, andmoved to Miami when she was 12-years-old. Over time, she slowlymade her way north, settling in Ocalawhere she owned a small workinghorse farm. She discovered Navarrewhile visiting her daughter and son-in-law six years ago. Driving toMobile from Fort Walton Beach onU.S. Highway 98, the Navarre Bridgecame into view - they took a left anddrove along Scenic Highway. It wasthen that she fell in love with thearea: she returned home, sold her

horse farm and bought a house inHolley by the Sea.

The home she purchased wasa fixer-upper and she spent muchof her time visiting Lowes. It wasduring a shopping excursion thatshe was introduced to Paul Williams,the then-HBTS general manag-er. At the time, Paul was search-ing for a new maintenance man-ager and after hearing that Jack-ie had experience with remodel-ing homes and landscaping, prop-erty maintenance, flipping hous-es, and using equipment, he hiredher that day.

At her hiring, she was “just amaintenance person” but after her90-day probation period, Paulasked her to assume the positionof maintenance manager becauseof her “get it done” attitude andapproach to her job.

Since then, she has workedsteadily to bring about the improve-ments that make the HBTS recre-ational facility and land the envyof Navarre.

Her responsibilities includemaintaining all entrances into theHBTS subdivision, to now includethe Hidden Creek entrance; theponds; the boat ramp off Coun-ty Road 399; the tennis courts;the fishing pier; the entire recre-ational center to include all weightroom equipment; the beach house;the play equipment; the pool; and

the 48 acres of grounds keeping.“Decent common sense” dic-

tates the priority of jobs: “If some-thing’s broke, we fix it right away.”Her approach is to maintain theequipment in place on a regularbasis to ensure fewer repairs. Thetennis courts are just one itemthat requires daily maintenance.

The type of material used forthe eight courts require that hercrew brushes the courts daily andwaters it twice a day. The dailywatering caused the old perime-ter fencing to rust; therefore sheordered new fencing that shouldlast 20 years. She also recycledpavers to create a walkway fromthe courts to the racquetball court.She is presently working on com-pleting the landscaping sur-rounding the courts.

Being a steward of “(your) mon-ey,” she has worked to reducemaintenance costs. One such cost-reduction will be the new pooldome that will arrive no later thanthis December. A technician iscoming from Canada, where thedome was purchased, to instructJackie and her crew on how to putup and take down the dome, thussaving the HOA money.

Jackie is presently working toimprove the baseball diamond sothat more families can enjoy thefield. The money has been bud-geted for next year so she is hop-

ing the existing field will be doneby early spring; she also wants toadd another baseball field allow-ing more people to play ball.

Another project she is work-ing on is repairing the boat rampoff CR 399. Hurricanes Dennisand Ivan heavily damaged theramp; she is working with thecounty and the various agenciesto pull the permits so repairs canbe accomplished.

Jackie also wants to improvethe roads that lead to the campgrounds.

Although it is not in her depart-ment, one program Jackie wantsthe residents to know about is thebefore and after school youth pro-gram. This program is just one ofmany that HBTS offers to its resi-dents.

Many HBTS residents ask her“what else is here?” When sheshows them all that the recre-ational facility has to offer, thetypical response is, “all of this forwhat we pay?”

Jackie would love to have moreresidents be involved, thus cre-ating a sense of communityamong the HBTS residents.

Jackie is an example of what acan-do attitude coupled with astrong sense of ownership canaccomplish and with her at thehelm, HBTS is on its way to beingthe treasure of the Emerald Coast.

along the lines of gas drive offsup and theft as opposed to vio-late crimes, according to Hall.He said he puts a lot of empha-sis on his narcotics unit becausekeeping drug problems downkept many violent crimes down.

“We still have metham-phetamine and prescriptiondrugs and cocaine and mari-juana, but we don’t have it likeother counties because we’reso aggressive,” he said.

The department has offsetthe reduction in revenue bycharging fees for certain serv-ices. Out-of-county residentshave to pay a fee for finger-printing, which is a require-ment for all governmentemployees. About $3,000 hasbeen generated this year fromthe charge. The departmenthas made more than $1,000 bycharging for copies of publicrecords.

Sheriff employees arecharged to eat in the dininghall, raising about $3,000 thisyear. The department is reim-bursed for fuel when deputieswork side jobs and use coun-ty vehicles. Hall said the reim-bursement totaled about$30,000.

Hall said $11 million of his$30 million budget was dedi-cated to the Santa Rosa Coun-ty Jail. To offset those costs, heimplemented jail processingfees.

“We charge them to putthem in jail unless they are indi-gent,” he said. The processingfee raised about $41,000 in thelast year.

Inmates are also charged formedical co-pays, which gen-erated $71,000. Those foundguilty of major crimes areordered by a judge to reim-

Sheriff Wen-dell Hall recent-ly spoke to theR e p u b l i c a nClub aboutinnovative wayshis departmenthas coped withbudget restraints during thelast few years.

Hall said the economicdownturn was something sher-iff departments were dealingwith all across the nation, butunlike other departments hewasn’t asking for a budgetincrease.

“I have understood whateconomic times are and whathard times are, so we haveadjusted,” he said.

Sheriff’s office employeeshave taken on more responsi-bilities to make up for a reduc-tion is the work force. Thedepartment has 175 deputies,which is 21 positions short ofthe norm.

While most businesses slowdown when the economy slowsdown, that isn’t the case withcrime. Hall said crime ratestend to increase, “but unfortu-nately there’s not enoughincome from ad valorem tax toincrease my budget.”

The crime rate in Santa RosaCounty has gone up in 2011,but Hall said it was nothingcompared to what other coun-ties were dealing with. He saidEscambia County had 30 mur-ders last year, which gave theneighboring county the high-est murder rate per capita inthe state.

A majority of Santa Rosacrime increases have been more

burse the department for inves-tigation costs. Hall said his officehad been reimbursed $13,000for investigations.

The jail also receives revenueby housing inmates for otheragencies, including the U.S.Navy, U.S. Marshals andOkaloosa County. The jailcharges $58 a day per inmate,raising about $500,000 in thelast year. U.S. Marshal hous-ing and transport alone hasgenerated $952,609 in the lastyear.

Hall said the departmenthad raised about $1.7 millionjust by charging those addi-tional fees.

“It’s something a lot of coun-ties and agencies don’t dobecause it’s more trouble thanits worth,” he said.

He also announced that hewould be running for anoth-er term as sheriff before retir-ing. Hall first ran for sheriffin 1995 as a Democrat butwas defeated. He said heswitched parties and waselected in 2000.

“It’s a wonderful time to bea Republican because I thinkthis next election next year we’regoing to see a lot of good pos-itive changes made and we’regoing to see a lot of Republi-cans go back in office,” he saidduring his introduction. “I thinkwe’re going to have a Repub-lican president one more timethank goodness.”

When the economy final-ly begins to turn around,Hall said Santa Rosa Coun-ty would recover muchquicker than other countiesbecause people continuedto move into the area for thelow crime rate, low taxationand the school system.

FRAUD ALERT!

Beware of Traveling ThievesA cool breeze, low humidity and the return of friends and neighbors from up north can

only mean one thing; fall has once again arrived in Northwest Florida. Unfortunately, thistime of year also means the arrival of “Gypsies” and “Travelers” who head our way lookingfor an opportunity to take advantage of those in need of various home repairs. This alert fromthe Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office serves as a reminder to be on the lookout for thesecon-artists who are very good at persuading, convincing and finally separating you from yourmoney.

The con starts with a knock on your door and an offer to do repairs around your home.These repairs could be roof coating/repair of shingles, asphalt paving/driveway sealing, housepainting, tree trimming/landscaping, and termite/pest control, just to name a few. They offerto do the work and charge you less than what a reputable local company would charge. Theidea of paying less money is always a welcoming thought, but you must remember that doingbusiness with someone that is just passing through can prove to be a disastrous decision.After receiving a deposit or the full amount, you are told they are going to get supplies andwill return. Some take the money and run; others return but provide extremely poor laborresulting in additional monies being spent at a later date to fix the original problem.

These thieves have also been known to con their way into your home on the pretense ofusing your phone, checking for leaks, selling a must have item, etc. While inside your homethey look for valuables, easy items to pocket and/or your personal information. Some workin pairs and while one of them has your attention, the other is working their way throughyour home taking what isn't theirs. Below are a few tips to keep in mind:

• Never let a stranger in your home!• Never give full payment for the job until it is complete.• Don’t do business with door-to-door contractors.• Beware of high pressure sales tactics and the familiar story of having left over material

from another job. • Keep all doors, including the garage door, closed and locked at all times; especially when

you are outside working in the yard. Stepping away from the front of the house to retrievesomething in the backyard is all the time needed to gain access to your home.

• Make sure your entry point doors are made of solid wood or metal and have deadboltlocks.

• Do not hide keys under the doormat or rocks. • Secure sliding glass doors with anti-slide block or slide bolt. • Contact the Better Business Bureau (BBB) at 850-429-0002 or www.sunbiz.org to veri-

fy the company is who they say they are. • Check your warranty! You may already be covered at no cost to you.
