Crimson Santa Rosa of New-
port Beach, Calif., the owners
of the nearly seven-acre parcel
that once was a vibrant shopping
center, ordered the demolition of
the complex that stood vacant for
over 10 years.
During its heyday, the cen-
ter housed Delchamp’s grocery
store, Eckerd Drugs and various
shops and eateries. However, af-
ter Delchamp’s closed and Eck-
erd merged with CVS, the center
suffered. Then, damage from
Hurricane Dennis forced the two
remaining tenants out in 2005.
NAI Halford President John
Grifing has the property listed for sale and would not conirm there is a contract to purchase the
property.
Facebook remarks on the site’s
demolition range from “inally!”
to “Hope it’s a (Target, (bowling alley,
Fresh Market, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods,
IKEA, or Kinnucan’s)” There was speculation the site could be
a Woolworth’s and others asked, tongue-
in-cheek, for a mattress store or low in-
come housing.
Demolition begins on vacant shopping center

A Gulf Breeze man, husband
and father of two with a third
on the way, who was known by
many as a “Good Samaritan,” died tragically last week doing
what he did
best, help-
ing others.
Michael
A. Bailey,
29, was
struck and
killed by
oncoming
trafic as he assisted accident victims fol-
lowing a crash involving multi-
ple vehicles last Tuesday night.
He passed away at Sacred
Heart Hospital from injuries
sustained after being hit by a
2001 Dodge Ram driven by
Joseph H. Spann, 64, of Can-
tonment. The Florida High-
way Patrol (FHP) reported that
Spann was attempting evasive
action to avoid making con-
tact with Bailey, even striking
a 2005 Toyota XB already in-
volved in the pile-up. Alcohol
was not a factor for anyone in-
volved. However, the driver of
the Toyota, Sabra C. Stewart,
17, of Molino, is charged with
careless driving. Other charges
are pending further investiga-
tion by FHP.
Stewart was traveling north-
bound in the outside lane of US
Hwy 29 approaching Hazzard
Ln. behind a 1997 Jeep Chero-
kee operated by Easter M. East,
71, of Cantonment. East slowed
to make a right turn on Hazzard
Ln. and was struck on the left
rear side when Stewart failed
to slow to allow for the turn.
After making contact with the
Jeep, Stewart rotated into the
Samaritan

The Gulf Breeze property owned by
Santa Rosa County School district but
currently the home of the Gulf Breeze
Chamber of Commerce is going up for
bid.
The school board voted unanimously
Tuesday morning to advertise for bids
on that property. School Superintendent
Tim Wyrosdick told the board, “In my
knowledge right now there are three in-
terested parties, and there may be more.
Asking for bids gives us options plus
gives us some lexibility as to what uses we have on that property.”
The appraisals sought for the prop-
erty by the school district are now
in, but were not announced Tuesday.
School board attorney Paul Green told
the board there are less laws governing
sale of school district property than pur-
chase by the school district.
“The law is very broad. It basically
says that irst you have to do a resolu-
tion of non-use, saying there is no use

Buz Eddy retiringGulf Breeze City Manager will become Special Advisor
Edwin A. �Buz� Eddy announces his retirement after nearly 25 years as City Manager of Gulf Breeze, stepping into a new role as Special Advisor to the City Manager as part of an initial 12-month succes-sion plan. Eddy will continue to assist the City with major projects and initiatives, advis-ing the interim city manager. The Council is expected to
approve Eddy�s plans to retire from city management at the regular meeting on January 17.
Eddy states: �I am most proud of our hardworking and dedicated employ-ees, who never hesitate to run towards a problem or emergency. Gulf Breeze has a resilient organizational culture that has been tested by natural disasters and external pressures, and every time has rebounded even stronger, with im-proved services and amenities for our community. Gulf Breeze is positioned inancially to be in a solid position for years to come.

Amid one of its ive-year permit review periods with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP),
city staff and council recently met to discuss options
related to Tiger Point golf course, efluent capacity and ongoing operations and maintenance, as well as capital
improvements, pertaining to both
issues. As the discussions pro-
gressed, so did the excitement sur-
rounding the possible sale of the
driving range, which would result
in a potential “win-win” with the procurement of a decent amount
of money to reinvest in the upkeep
and improvement of the property
as well as the continued use of the
course as a spray ield. Deputy City Manager Samantha Abell said the goal
of the Saturday morning workshop was to “very suc-
cinctly state the situation that [the city is] in with ef-
luent disposal and wastewater treatment plant, and why the golf course is so important, and whatever deci-
sion the council makes moving forward, why it is that
[they’re] making that decision.” Abell further stated, “Staff would like to explore more options for selling
portions of the course, and the city then investing back
into its own property [with funds resulting from the
sale].” Abell informed the council that a RIB was contem-
plated at the Bergren Rd. property, and, although costly,
converting the Bergren Rd. property from a spray ield to a RIB can increase its efluent capacity from 200,000

gallons per day to 800,000 gallons per day.
“A RIB is basically a pond that, if you think
of a terrarium, it has different mediums at the
bottom to help with that percolation,” Abell
explained. “It’s all expensive. It’s all money.
So you want to make sure you’re bringing in
more than you’re paying out.”
And bringing in more money in order to in-
vest money is what led Abell and city staff to
the approach of the consideration of the sale
of the golf course, or more appropriately, por-
tions of the golf course. “If we were to sell the
[entirety of the] golf course… the cost to us
would immediately be anywhere from tomor-
row of about half a million dollars in the next
three years, up to $7 million,” Abell said.
Abell added such an all-inclusive sale
would accelerate the city’s need for RIBs and
would also necessitate the fi nding of a new location to get rid of existing discharge from
taking the golf course offl ine. “You’re going to need to construct lines to the Eglin prop-
erty,” she said. “You’re going to have to pur-chase more land.”
Abell added, “The conversation isn’t even
about just staying the course, because we
know there are capital improvements that
must be made … What we don’t want is for
the course to depreciate to such a point that
the cost to improve it is just going to com-
pound. We all know that repairs are more ex-
pensive than maintenance.”
This brought Abell to the concept of the
sale of the driving range.
“We could sell the driving range. We could
construct the driving range someplace else
and with the profi t from your appraisal
then we could, the
city, invest in its own
property and make
improvements to the
course.”
The theory further
embellished that the driving range could be
relocated behind where the clubhouse is cur-
rently situated over holes one and nine of the
west course. Dannheisser said, “That con-
cept was sort of the top golf scenario that we
started talking about with the World of Beer
folks, about getting them to take over food
and beverage, coming out with a deck over-
looking the driving range and part of the driv-
ing range, where it’s sort of an entertainment
event also … It’s a participatory event.”
Dannheisser insisted that any sale of a
portion of the course would have to be bal-
anced with the cost of replacement of effl u-ent disposal. Finding that the driving range is
comprised of 12 acres and was appraised at
$1.5 million, it would suffi ce that the replace-ment of the approximate 75,000 gallons a day
of disposal would cost roughly $600,000 to
$800,000, making the sale a suitable option.
“What makes the driving range more pal-
atable as a selling point is that it’s compact,
it’s commercially zoned, so it has a lot more
appeal,” Dannheisser said. “The other areas
would require rezoning.”
Abell concluded by stating, “We want to
let you know that the city has been contacted
[by] somebody who has a great pedigree in
the restaurant business and has expressed in-
terest in leasing the existing restaurant from
the city and operating [it]. We feel like those
conversations are very close to the point that
we will be able to present something to coun-
cil.”
Abell confi rmed that “communication channels are still open” with World Beer and
that “we are looking at a scenario where In-
tegrity will continue to operate and maintain
the course but [where we will be] bringing
someone else in who will be able to take the
food and beverage to the next level.”

inside northbound lane of Hwy
29 making additional contact
on the vehicle’s left side with
the front of a 1996 Mercedes
Benz C-Class, driven by Haley
J. McCain, 35, of Pensacola.
McCain’s vehicle crossed the
southbound lanes of Hwy 29
and struck forward-facing into
a tree.
The Toyota continued rotat-
ing in a northwest direction
striking the left side of a third
vehicle, a 1999 Buick Century
driven by Joshua A. Reese, 26,
of Molino. This is when Bailey,
not involved in the initial series
of accidents, exited his vehicle
to provide assistance to those
injured in the crash. Bailey was
checking on Stewart now in the
inside lane of Hwy 29 when an-
other unknown vehicle swerved
southbound into the median to
avoid striking the Toyota. Bai-
ley ran westbound as Spann
was approaching in his Dodge
Ram. The left side of the Dodge
struck the Toyota when Spann
swerved to avoid hitting Bai-
ley, who was unfortunately still
struck head-on by the weighty
vehicle.
The Toyota driven by Stew-
art came to a fi nal stop facing east in the southbound left lane
turn on Hwy 29 north of Haz-
zard Ln. Stewart sustained mi-
nor injuries. The driver of the
Jeep Cherokee, East, came to a
halt on the east shoulder of Hwy
29 south of Hazzard Ln. While
East sustained serious injuries
and was transported to West
Florida Hospital for treatment,
a passenger riding with her, Lee
M. East, 19, of Cantonment,
only suffered minor injuries.
McCain and her passen-
ger, Jewell A. Jernigan, 38, of
Pensacola, were transported to
Baptist Hospital for minor inju-
ries as well. Reese, the driver of
the Buick, was spared injuries
along with Spann.
A GoFundMe account set
up by Darlene Hammond of
RE/MAX on behalf of Bailey’s
wife, Julia, describes Bailey as
“a favorite among his cowork-
ers” at RE/MAX as well as his
second job at Lowe’s on Gulf
Breeze Parkway. Bailey worked
three jobs altogether to support
his growing family. Hammond’s
GoFundMe page states of the
young Chicago native, “He had
an infectious smile and always
brightened the mood in any
room he walked in to … The
loss is painful for all that had
the privilege to know him.”
Bailey leaves behind his wife
Julia and their two sons, Trae,
7, and Jaesyn, 5. Julia is expect-
ing their third son.
Second grade teacher at Ori-
ole Beach Elementary School,
Carla Urquhart, who says she
is heartbroken for the family,
is preparing her students to as-
sist their classmate and friend
in dealing with his devastating
loss.
Urquhart said, “I feel that it

Man killed while rendering aid

tional purposes for the district. Then the
law says you must do what is in the best
interest of the school district.”
He recommended that the board not
divulge all the inner workings of the
sale, but follow what they must under
the law.
Board member Jennifer Granse told
the board she saw a “for sale” sign on
the property next door to the school dis-
trict property in Gulf Breeze. Green said
he would look into that and see what the
sale price of that would be.
“We may come to the end of the bid
process and not have any bids that we
want to accept,” Wyrosdick said. “But I
think we should open this to the public
and see what happens and give anyone
who is interested the chance to offer a
bid.”

Santa Rosa County’s
public works department
kicked off a 4.5 mile re-
surfacing project for Hwy.
399/East Bay Blvd. in Na-
varre this week. The work
area extends from SR 87S
to west of Tom King Bayou
Bridge - the largest road
construction project for the
south end since the addi-
tional gas tax was levied a
year ago.
“It is great to see our tax
dollars working to improve
one of our counties busiest
roads,” said Commissioner
Rob Williamson, District
4. The cost of the project
is just over $1 million with
milling/paving at approxi-
mately $905,000 and strip-
ing/shoulder work estimat-
ed at $100,000.
The resurfacing project
consists of milling of the top
layer of asphalt, applying a
crack relief layer, repav-
ing, restriping and shoulder
work. Milling and asphalt
paving will take three to
four weeks, depending on
the weather as asphalt can-
not be produced in tempera-
tures 40 degrees or lower.
The road will be striped
temporarily after paving
with fi nal striping 30 days after the asphalt is in place.
Shoulder work will take
place 30 to 45 days after the
asphalt portion is complete.
Resurfacing
begins for
Hwy. 399/
East Bay
Blvd.
A seven-period school day
may be coming back to San-
ta Rosa County schools next
school year.
The school board, Superin-
tendent and his staff are trying
to make that happen. Tuesday
morning, the school board voted
unanimously to place $3 million
in reserve toward a seven-period
day for the 2017-2018 school
year. The money comes from the
increase in numbers of students
this year, with 950 new students
registering for school since Au-
gust.
“With the growth we have
been experiencing, we have re-
ceived somewhat of a windfall
from the state in FTE (per stu-
dent) funding from the state. It
was unexpected and I think we
should put that money aside
right away to try to implement a
seven period day. But everything
will depend on what the state
legislature does in this legisla-
tive session. If they continue to
move in positive directions for
state education, we will proceed
with the seven period day.”
Wyrosdick said he asked Asst.
Superintendent Joey Harrell and
his staff over the summer to start
looking into all aspects of what
moving back to the seven period
day would mean.
“Everything changed when
we went to six periods, from the
way we served a meal to pick
up times of students and school
start and end times,” Wyros-
dick said. “So this is a chance to
look at everything again. We are
looking at transportation, to see
if we are effi ciently using start times and pick up times of stu-
dents or if that would need to be
changed. We are looking at meal
service, just everything.”
He said teachers are in favor
of returning to the past schedule.
“Every time I go speak to teach-
ers, they always, always ask for
the same thing – the seven pe-
riods back again with the fl oat-ing planning period instead of
it being at the end of the day,”
Wyrosdick said.
He said the seventh class
would be carefully scheduled at
each school.
“We would not be having just
any class being added,” Wyros-
dick said. “We are looking at
adding more money to the AP
and the Dual Enrollment pro-
grams, and for the academies for
certifi cation for jobs. We want to add meaningful additions to each
school. Of course, for Navarre
High and Pace High there would
be different classes added, for
example, since each school has
different academies and differ-
ent needs. But we would look at
each school, with the help of the
administrators at that school, to
see what each needed most.”
Asst. Superintendent of Cur-
riculum Bill Emerson told the
board there had been 100 new
students registered over the
Christmas break.
“The growth we have had this
year, with 950 new students since
the beginning of the school year,
was not predicted by any model
we saw or use. We’ve grown
300 students before, or even 400
once, but never as much as 900.
Now, if this model continues, we
would be looking at maybe 700
new students next year – and we
could even grow another 900. “
Wyrosdick said there are only
a very few other school districts
in the state experiencing strong
growth, and none as much as
this district.
“I have asked my staff to look
into where this is coming from.
It is not all in one school or all in
one area. It is across the board.
And it makes meeting class size
requirements diffi cult.”The board is now asking the
state to give them some fl ex-ibility to handle students, with
a few over class size require-
ments, while they fi gure out their next move. Emerson said,
“When you start adding new
classes and taking students out
of their original scheduled class
weeks into the new school year,
it causes problems, especially at
the elementary level. There is
student-teacher bonding going
on, and other issues. “
Wyrosdick said the school
board’s approval of reserving
the $3 million Tuesday was im-
portant.
“This is the fi rst step toward going back to a seven-period
day. It doesn’t mean we are go-
ing to do it next year, but we
have already been working to-
ward it this summer and will
monitor what the state does and
keep working in that direction.”

Gulf Breeze Arts Inc. (GBAI)
G u l f
B r e e z e
Arts Inc.
met at the Gulf Breeze Library
on Jan. 3 for the monthly meet-
ing with President Brenda Clev-
enger presiding. Clevenger be-
gan with the recognition of the
guest speaker, Dennis Boyce;
then held a short business meet-
ing.
Dennis Boyce studied art at
the Pratt Institute and The Art
Students League in New York.
His fi rst love is the fi ne arts and photography; but is profi cient in oils, acrylic, watercolor and
fi gure drawings. Boyce taught both watercolor and acrylic
painting classes and has shown
in numerous galleries from
New England to Florida; he is
currently showing in the CCP
Gallery in Pensacola.
Boyce worked in commer-
cial art as well; doing color cor-
rection for John Warsenick at
Autumn Color in Worchester
Mass; reproduced art for muse-
ums around the country while
caring for the Polaroid Museum
collection. He transferred the
entire collection to digital for-
mat and worked with fi ne arts museums to color correct re-
productions for sale in galler-
ies and stores. He also added
new art to the collection. Boyce
does fi ne arts for Pepsico out of Purchase, New York, providing
paintings as anniversary gifts
for years of service.
Boyce now paints acrylics
on pressboard because he feels
it provides a unique texture
for his impressionist paint-
ings. Boyce’s watercolors won
awards from New England to
Florida. His philosophy as it
applies to watercolor is “stay
loose my friend.”
Boyce’s presentation at the
meeting was how he goes about
marketing his oriented strand
board (OSB). He demonstrated
how he could complete a piece
of his work ready to sell in 15
minutes.
Amanda Holtzhower, festi-
val chair, reported on the Art
Festival to be held on March
11. Many people have already
applied. She reported that Anne
Geisel won the poster contest
for the 2017 Festival and will
receive $250.
The next GBAI meeting will
be Tuesday, Feb. 7, at 6 p.m. in
the Gulf Breeze Library. The
speaker will be Robin Hill, a
Pensacola State College art
student. She is excited about
giving a presentation about her
work, her goals of becoming an
art teacher, and how art is a fan-
tastic method of therapy.
Robin Hill is a local Pen-
sacola artist originating from a
small rural town in Indiana. She
is working towards her associ-
ate’s degree at Pensacola State
College and plans on furthering
her education into a Bachelor’s
degree in fi ne arts. Her ultimate goal is to become a 5th through
8th grade art teacher to help
students fi nd an artistic outlet during the emotionally charged
teenage years. She has held
many offi cer positions in Phi Theta Kappa, the international
honor society for two-year de-
grees, including president of
her chapter, Theta Chi.
Hill has combatted mental
illness throughout her life and
was recently diagnosed with
borderline personality disorder.
She found help through many
different art forms. As a child,
she began writing and playing
piano to help her cope with the
many stressful events in her
young life, including the di-
vorce of her parents at age 10.
As an adolescent, she was
diagnosed with bipolar disorder
and added drawing to her list of
coping skills. In her adult life,
she has also added hula hooping
and dancing into the mix. These
media have helped her navigate
the diffi culties of everyday life while living with mental illness.
She has come to realize that art
in general can be cathartic and
therapeutic for everyone, which
is the main reason she is striv-
ing to become a teacher of the
arts. You don’t want to miss this
presentation.

MILTON, Fla.— The Florida Depart-
ment of Health in Santa Rosa County recog-
nizes January as Cervical Health Awareness
Month, a time to educate, encourage and
empower women to visit their health care
provider for information and screening for
cervical cancer.
According to the Centers for Disease Con-
trol (CDC), approximately 12,000 women in
the United States are diagnosed with cervi-
cal cancer each year. In Florida, there were
914 new cases and 345 deaths from cervical
cancer in 2013 (Florida Cancer Data Sys-
tem). Most cervical cancer cases occur in
women who have never been screened with
a Pap test or have not been screened in the
past fi ve years.Since the Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
vaccine was introduced in 2006, CDC re-
ports there has been a 64 percent reduc-
tion in vaccine-type HPV infections among
teen girls in the United States. Studies have
shown that fewer teens are getting genital
warts and cervical pre-cancers are decreas-
ing. Nearly all cervical cancers are caused
by HPV. HPV is a common skin virus that
is passed from one person to another during
sexual activity. The HPV vaccination series
can help prevent multiple cancers, includ-
ing cervical cancer and cancer of the head,
mouth, neck and throat.
The Advisory Committee for Immuniza-
tion Practices recommends vaccinating boys
and girls ages 11 to 12 years old. The HPV
vaccine may be given starting at 9 years of
age and through the age of 26 for those who
did not get any or all of the shots when they
were younger. The vaccine is available at the
Florida Department of Health in Santa Rosa
County at no fee for children through the age
of 18 years through the Vaccines for Chil-
dren program. Immunizations are provided
by appointment only during regular clinic
hours. To schedule an appointment, contact
DOH-Santa Rosa at 850-983-5200.
Talk to your medical provider about when
a Pap test is most appropriate for you. Tests
for specifi c HPV strains can support earlier diagnosis of cervical cancer. When found
early, it is highly treatable.
According to CDC, follow these tips to
reduce your risk or prevent cervical cancer:
� Get the HPV vaccine;
� See your doctor regularly for a Pap
test if you are a woman between the ages of
21 and 65;
� Do not smoke; and
� Limit your number of sexual part-
ners.
The DOH Breast and Cervical Cancer
Early Detection Program is available state-
wide. This program provides Pap tests and
mammograms to women ages 50-64, who
are uninsured and are at or below 200 per-
cent of the federal poverty level. For more
information and to see if you qualify, please
contact DOH-Santa Rosa at 850-983-5200.
Nearly all cervical cancers are caused by HPV Vaccines available for girls and boys ages 9 to 26

Councilman David Landfair,
who met with landowners John
and Jamie Reese and Pete and
Mitzi Peters, followed up resi-
dent Terry Mead�s comments
against the continuation of the
Catawba beach access litigation
at last Wednesday night�s execu-
tive city council meeting, prof-
fering a motion to fi nally put the case to rest. Landfair�s motion
comes on the tail-end of a clari-
fi cation order recently entered by Santa Rosa County Circuit
Judge John F. Simon Jr. further
defi ning the scope of legal fees from which the landowners are
able to collect from the city, and
just prior to a mediation sched-
uled in the matter for Friday.
�I think it�s time to throw in
the towel and stop all the legal
fees by agreeing to build some
sort of access somewhere at
Shoreline Park,� Landfair said.
�Pay the legal fees, abandon
any interest in the property and
move on.�
Landfair, who stated, �The
devil�s in the details,� was hope-
ful the council could make a de-
cision prior to mediation in or-
der to avoid any additional legal
fees resulting from any further
court appearances.
�Maybe a good motion would
be authorizing me to negotiate
something and bring it to the
council prior to the 20th,� Land-
fair suggested. The fairly newly
appointed Mayor Pro Tem pro-
posed in full that the council ap-
prove his motion �to authorize
[him] to go sit down with the
Reeses and the Peters and come
up with a fi nal legal bill, ask them to agree to stop the legal
procedures, [the city will] stop
legal procedures and abandon
[its] interest in the property, and
just fi nish it.”Newest council member Tom
Naile did not hesitate before sec-
onding Landfair�s motion, later
stating to the Gulf Breeze News
(GBN), �I guess now you know
where I stand.�
But not all of the council
members were on the same
page; specifi cally, Mayor Matt Dannheisser adamantly dis-
agreed. �I don�t know what the
concern is about doing some-
thing before the mediation,�
Dannheisser said. �Typically
you do something like this after
mediation, not before.�
While Landfair attempted to
explain his reasoning, stating that
he wasn�t sure if they were just
throwing good money after bad,
and that the fees are just con-
tinuing to pile up, Dannheisser
responded, �Well as opposed to
this discussion where you�re not
sure, I would encourage you to
have discussions with the law-
yers to get the answers and get a
full understanding of this before
you form an opinion one way or
the other.�
Landfair was not shy about
admitting that his opinion was
that the city was not going to
win, to which the Mayor once
again responded that that is not
the legal opinion he has received
from the city�s attorneys.
�Sure, but I�m thinking at this
point, I disagree; respectfully,�
Landfair said. �So I�d like to
make that motion. If somebody
wants to second it, then we can
vote on it,� he added, initiating
an additional �second� from
Naile.
While Councilwoman Renee
Bookout and Councilwoman
Cherry Fitch were hesitant to
discuss in great depth the motion
on the table, both said they�d be
more comfortable with a shade
meeting, agreeing that it was
time to end this but perhaps not
at that very moment per Land-
fair�s sudden motion. �I mean
we have a mediator lined up for
the mediation that I think can es-
sentially do that,� Bookout said.
But Landfair voiced his con-
cern that the city would simply
lose more money, especially
based on Judge Simon�s most re-
cent ruling/clarifi cation that es-sentially all attorneys� fees and
costs are on the table.
Dannheisser disagreed, stat-
ing, �That�s not what he said.
You�re accepting the other side�s
interpretation of what that says,�
once again advising Landfair
to speak with the city�s attor-
neys for their explanations prior
to making what Dannheisser
deemed his own assumptions.
Landfair and Naile both as-
serted, however, that they
thought the judge was �very
clear� in his statements, to which
Dannheisser seemed to become
somewhat irritated.
�You know what, that�s why
I�m telling you again, you need,
there was just a conference call
this afternoon discussing it,�
Dannheisser said. �You can talk
to [City Attorney Mike Steb-
bins] and he can explain it to
you; but I�m telling you, if you
form that impression as to that�s
what the judge said, then you�re
mistaken.�
Dannheisser further referred
to a portion of the particular
language of the Order as quoted
by Mead, which stated, �Con-
trary to the city�s assertion that
prompted Plaintiffs� [landown-
ers] motion for clarifi cation, the Plaintiffs� compensation is not
limited to the attorney�s fees in-
curred in prosecuting their mo-
tion to tax fees and costs. Instead
the compensation may include
all reasonably incurred fees that
have suffi cient nexus or causal relation to the city�s violation of
the Pollak decision.�
Dannheiser added, �I really
don�t want to get into this dis-
cussion in public, but you need
to be more fully educated on the
subject before you make these
decisions.�
An additional debate among
Landfair and Dannheisser, which
seemed to fi zzle prior to actually ensuing, focused on the portion
of property to be �abandoned.�
Landfair asserted that the city
should abandon interest in the
entirety of the property from Eu-
fala St. southward to the water,
to include the Catawba St. right-
of-way, which previously has
not been at-issue.
�And why would we do that?�
Dannheisser questioned, before
promptly declining his request
for an answer. �That�s OK, that�s
all right, don�t worry about it.�
Mead addressed the city
council prior to the discussion
among the council members,
stating, �Just from 2015 and
2016, I totaled up over $210,000
you all have spent on this, an-
other $5,000 tonight. And as I
said, at an earlier meeting, you
could be on the hook for another
$300,000; the judge has clarifi ed that � That�s half a million dol-
lars, at least; and it�s not going
to get any cheaper if you keep
pursuing this.�
Mead asserted that that
amount of money could have
been spent on an alternative, and
he additionally questioned the
city�s legal strategy.
�It appears to me, this is my
opinion, that the city�s legal
strategy is not to win; you don�t
seem to ever win in court, but
it seems like to out-spend these
people � It seems like with the
deeper pockets that the city has,
that what you want to do is bank-
rupt [the landowners] with legal
fees.� He continued, �That�s
something you would expect the
US Department of Justice or the
EPA to do, not what you would
expect from the City of Gulf
Breeze.�
Mead added, �If you did bank-
rupt these people or force them
into some kind of settlement
because you bankrupted them,
how do you spike the football on
that? How do you celebrate that?
That�s not a victory; you lost ev-
ery time you went to court � I
don�t see any end in sight. It�s
foolish. You can stop this. You
people right here have the abil-
ity to make it end.�
While Bookout and Fitch,
along with Dannheisser, voted
�no� to Landfair�s motion, Fitch
requested a shade meeting as
soon as possible to further dis-
cuss it. �I am ready for this to be
resolved,� she said.
Bookout addressed Landfair
stating, �I agree with you going
over and having those discus-
sions with them, but I�m leery to
say that I would sign off on any-
thing that you agreed to without
us having the benefi t of a shade meeting � But I agree with you
that it�s time for this to be re-
solved.�
A shade meeting as part of
a special council meeting has
been scheduled for tonight at 5
p.m. Whether any decisions will
result from that meeting is yet to
be determined. However, Book-
out commented, �I am hopeful,

What was your favorite movie of 2016, and why?

Therefore, since we have

“Did we even see any movies in 2016? ‘The Magnifi cent Seven;’ imagine ‘Tombstone’ but like with Denzel Washington and a couple other people. That was a cool movie.”

“‘The Free State of Jones,‘ that’s my favorite movie. It was personal history to me because I grew up in the town that this is about. It’s about a group of deserters from the Confederacy who were then hunted by the Confederacy and fought against them. Of course, Hollywood had to put their spin of social justice into it, but I grew up in that town; I was born and raised in that town, and the house where one of the Confederates was assassinated was actually just up the street from me. The Major was killed by this deserter; it was actually just up the street from me.”

President-elect Trump
is setting the stage for a
rocky Presidency fi lled with confl ict, bickering, turmoil, miscalculations, and potential diplomatic
and military confronta-
tions.
So far, with his disdain for intelligence briefi ngs and his lack of intellectual
curiosity, I fear we could be in deep trouble in the world, and our adversaries, including Russia and China, could take advantage of Trump�s ego and his lackadaisical attitude
towards the intelligence briefi ngs. Trump’s children, Ivanka, Donald Jr.
and Eric, and his son-in-law Jared, are on the President-elect’s transition executive committee. They are involved in the deci-sion making process that determines who
will be in the Trump administration, and it appears they will continue to be involved in the affairs of state when Donald takes the helm at the White House. The Ameri-
can people did not elect a Trump family
committee to run our country.
Another major concern is the confl ict of interest that exists between Trump’s vast business interests and the presidency. Trump is handing the reins of his business-es to his sons, but it appears they will be heavily involved in providing advice dur-ing his Presidency.
It appears Trump is going to have an ar-rogant rogue authoritarian administration.
He is fi lling positions with people who were loyal supporters during the Presiden-
tial campaign, but they are not necessarily
qualifi ed and fi t to fi ll the positions. He is loading up his regime with former military
personnel, including three former gener-als, and others who are part of the wealthy business elite. His administration appears to have the trappings of the military/in-dustrial/fi nancial complex, and it does not bode well for our country.
The media reported the CIA conducted an investigation of Russian interference in our Presidential election and found signifi -cant hacking of Democratic information.
The CIA analysis showed the Russian hacking negatively impacted Clinton and helped Trump win the election. Trump and
his transition staff subsequently denounced the CIA report and referenced the CIA’s past supposed mistake about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction.
It is incredible to me that a President is taking the side of Communist Russia and
criticizing a U.S. intelligence agency that
is responsible for our national security. This can only alienate CIA personnel who Trump must rely on to provide critical in-telligence on Russian and other adversar-ies in the world. He is setting himself and
the country up for huge problems in the world.
The big question is, does Trump and any potential cabinet members and advisors have a relationship with Russia that would adverse-ly impact decisions made by the Trump administration and endan-
ger our national security? It doesn’t look good right now. Trump ad-
mires Putin; Tillerson, the potential Secretary of State, has a number of joint ventures in place between
Exxon/Mobil and Russian oil companies; Flynn, potential National Security Advisor, is pro-Russian; and Bannon, senior con-sultant to Trump, is inspired by the views of Lenin, the founder of Russian Commu-nism. Trump invited Russia to hack into Clinton’s emails and they responded by hacking into our election for president.
All of these issues loom very large in a Trump presidency and could create chaos, constant controversy, and national and world insecurity in a potential authoritar-
ian administration. Our democracy and
freedom could be in peril.P.S. My family and my wife’s family
have a long patriotic history in the US. My wife, the former Elizabeth Jones, and I have had a close family member serve in every war from the Civil War through the Gulf War, and I have voted in every elec-tion since 1960. This is the fi rst time I have been concerned for the safety and security of our country.

You are going to have to pass Obamacare before you can read the 2,300 pages and the additional 11,000 pages of regulations that were not even all written yet!
For 230 years as a nation never were “We the People” taxed for something we did not
buy or do not own! Did new words magically appear in our
Constitution that allowed this
healthcare Penalty Tax, no! They magically appeared for
the Supreme Court ruling!
For eight years we were lied
to about keeping our plans, our doctors and told it was work-
ing fi ne, just like the economy. Never once did Democrats offer to fi x what they alone created. Not until this year’s election did Democrats admit Obamacare wasn’t working as planned.
Now if Republicans repeal and replace it and break it, it’s theirs to fi x.
Well if it’s Republicans to fi x why don’t Democrats shut up and let them fi x what they
admitted wasn�t working? The
funniest part is the second half
or business half of Obamacare was suppose to kick in after
the 2012 election. But the re-
ality is Obama postponed this business portion using a execu-tive order moving it to begin after this election and the end
of his second term. That was
Obama’s fi x for the second half of Obamacare, let some-one else deal with it. So why
won’t Obama keep his mouth shut and let what he wanted to
happen...happen. Someone else
will fi x it!! Obama’s legacy, American’s
suffering, it mirrors the Veter-ans unfi xed healthcare system! If starting with a Chevette frame you can’t build a Corvette car!
Repeal it.

Own their failure
It’s one thing to lie, but it’s much worse if you start believ-ing your own lies. That�s the
problem of the Democratic Par-ty these days. Trump didn�t get
elected by the Russians and the whole Russian hacking story is
100 percent fi ction. Democrats have to own it that they were so incompetent that they lost to a
clown like Donald Trump.
Even as Trump is about to become president, the Demo-cratic National Committee is lead by Donna Brazile who was fi red from CNN for sneaking debate questions to Hillary so she could cheat against Sand-
ers. Brazile was also responsi-
ble for Al Gore losing to Bush in 2000. But Democrats don’t learn anything and keep doing
the wrong thing over and over again.
We have real issues to be fo-cusing on rather than the fake
“Russian hackers did it.”Obama just expanded the
power of the government to spy on Americans just in time for
Trump to use it against us and
no one is paying attention to
that. People are tired of Demo-crats being weak, stupid, and incompetent to the point that
just can�t stand it anymore.
So it�s out of the pot and into
the fi re. Let the Apocalypse be-gin!

Obamacare: Who broke it
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
DEAR DR. ROACH: I know
you’re not a psychiatrist, but I
hope you can help. My dad was
a single parent raising us kids,
and he was always clean when it
came to housework. Every room
in our house was almost spot-
less.
But lately, we have noticed
him becoming a hoarder and be-
ing more disorganized. By that, I
mean keeping weeks-old news-
papers on the loor, the kitchen table, everywhere, and he gets
upset if we try to help him clean.
He’s 79. Could it be a sign of
senility or Alzheimer’s disease?
-- R.S.
ANSWER: Hoarding behav-
ior can have several psychiatric
causes, and, indeed, a psychia-
trist may be necessary to make
the diagnosis. However, odds are
that your dad always had some
form of obsessive-compulsive
disorder, and with age has be-
come worse.
There are other possibilities.
Fronto-temporal dementia, a
type of dementia that is distinct
from Alzheimer’s disease, has a
variant in which personality and
behavior changes are prominent,
but given the history of what
sounds like unusual cleanli-
ness habits, I would suspect that
OCD is the most likely diagno-
sis. There usually is a long delay
from the time symptoms begin
until the time the diagnosis is
made. A diagnosis needs to be
made before treatment -- be it
medications, psychotherapy or
some combination -- can begin.
Treatment can improve not only
the hoarding behavior, but also
the distress your dad is feeling.
A psychiatrist or psychologist is
the expert in making the diagno-
sis and for treatment.
The new booklet on Alzheim-
er’s disease gives a detailed pre-
sentation of this common illness.

DEAR DR. ROACH: In dis-
cussing treatment of nail fungus,
you did not mention newer laser
treatments that I see advertised
by podiatrists in my area. Are
they effective? -- J.F.
ANSWER: We don’t re-
ally know if they are effective,
since well-done studies haven’t
yet proven it; however, pre-
liminary evidence is suggestive.
This would be a great addition
to treatment, since the only cur-
rently accepted highly effective
treatments are oral medications,
which have risk of liver damage.
Even more exciting is the idea
of combining a topical antifun-
gal agent, amoroline, with laser. This medication is not available
in the U.S., but a study in Korea
showed a 50 percent effective-
ness rate (which is pretty good
for this dificult-to-treat condi-tion).
Since I last wrote about this
condition, I heard from a lot of
readers. Some mentioned cures
from Vicks Vapo-Rub, but the
only study I found on that showed
a 22 percent cure rate. One per-
son asked about surgery, but
since the fungus gets into the nail
bed, the infection often recurs
after removing the nail. Listerine
and white vinegar mixed half and
half cured one couple, and sev-
eral people had success with Dr.
Paul’s Piggy Paste, which also is
vinegar-based. None of these has
good data to support its use, but
all likely are safe.
***
Dr. Roach regrets that he is
unable to answer individual let-
ters, but will incorporate them in
the column whenever possible.

If you are a “millennial (a
member of the age cohort born
anywhere from the early 1980s
to the late 1990s),” then you’re
still in the early chapters of your
career. Thus, it may be a stretch
for you to envision retirement,
but since you do have so many
years until you retire, you’ve
got the luxury of putting time on
your side as you save and plan
for retirement. Here are some
suggestions for making the best
use of that time:
* Invest early and often.
Even if you are at the very be-
ginning of your career, make in-
vesting a priority. At irst, you might only be able to contribute
a small amount each month.
However, something is far bet-
ter than nothing, and after a year
or so, you might be surprised at
how much you’ve actually put
away.
* Take advantage of your
employer’s retirement plan. If
your employer offers a 401(k)
or similar plan, contribute as
much as you can afford. At the
very least, put in enough to earn
your employer’s match if one is
offered. Your contributions can
lower your taxable income, and
your earnings can grow on a tax-
deferred basis.
* Invest more as your
earnings increase. As your ca-
reer advances and your earnings
rise, you’ll want to increase your
contributions to your 401(k) or
similar plan, and if you ever
“max out” on your annual 401(k)
contributions (the limits change
over time), you can probably still
contribute to another tax-advan-
taged retirement plan, such as a
traditional or Roth IRA.
Thus far, we’ve only dis-
cussed, in general terms, how
much and how often you should
invest. However, it’s obviously
just as important to think about
the type of investments you
own, and at this stage of your
life, you need an investment mix
that provides you with ample
opportunities for growth. His-
torically, stocks and stock-based
vehicles provide greater growth
potential than other investments
such as government securities,
corporate bonds and certiicates of deposit (CDs). Of course,
stocks will rise and fall in price,
sometimes dramatically, but
with decades ahead of you, you
do have time to overcome short-
term losses. Also, you may be
able to reduce the effects of
market volatility by spreading
your dollars among many dif-
ferent stock-based investments,
along with a reasonable percent-
age of bonds and other, more
conservative securities. Here’s
something else to consider:
Many millennials want more
from their investments than just
good performance. They also
want their money to make a dif-
ference in the world. This inter-
est in “impact” investing (also
known as “socially responsible”
investing) has led some of your
peers to screen out companies
or industries they believe have
a negative impact on society in
favor of other businesses that
are viewed as contributing to a
more sustainable world. If this
viewpoint resonates with you,
then you may want to explore
these types of investment oppor-
tunities with a inancial profes-
sional.
Most importantly, continue to
invest throughout your life. As
a millennial, you have plenty of
the one asset that can never be
replaced: time. Use it wisely.

With the 2016-2017 lu season in full swing and inlu-
enza activity increasing across the state, it is critical that all Floridians get the lu vaccine to protect against infection and help prevent the spread of seasonal lu to others.
It is never too late to get your lu shot. While most cases of lu are mild, there are exceptions.
Flu activity is on the rise in Florida, particularly in groups at high risk for severe illness such as children, pregnant women, people with under-lying chronic conditions and people over the age of 65.
Visits to emergency de-
partments for inluenza are also increasing in these high risk groups. The department continues to urge residents to reduce their risk of severe ill-ness from infection by getting vaccinated against inluenza. This is especially important for individuals at high-risk for severe illness.
The annual lu vaccine is safe and is the most effective way to protect yourself and your loved ones. The lu vac-
cine is recommended for ev-
eryone six months and older, including pregnant women.
It takes about two weeks af-ter vaccination for your body to develop protection against the lu. The Centers for Dis-
ease Control and Prevention recommends people get in-
jectable lu shots. Nasal spray vaccine is not
recommended for this lu sea-
son because of concerns about
its effectiveness. It is also essential to prac-
tice good hygiene by prop-
erly and frequently washing your hands to help prevent the spread of seasonal lu. Make it a habit to clean and disinfect commonly used surfaces in your home, school or ofice. You can take additional steps to ward off the lu by cough-
ing or sneezing into a tissue or your elbow and avoiding touching your face.
The Florida Department of Health in Santa Rosa County offers the lu vaccine by ap-
pointment during regular clinic hours for a $32 fee. A limited supply of free vac-
cine is available for children 6 months through 18 years of
age through the Vaccines for Children program; however, supplies of the free vaccine are limited.
To schedule an appoint-ment, call 850-983-5200. The lu vaccine is offered in many other convenient locations, in-
cluding doctor’s ofices, clin-
ics, retail stores, pharmacies, health centers and by many employers and schools.
Visit the department’s lu shot locater page to search for a lu vaccine location near you.

garding inluenza surveillance information, messaging and guidance, visit the inluenza homepage at http://www.lori-dahealth.gov/loridalu.

PENSACOLA, Fla. (January 2017) – A new book by a vet-eran Pensacola attorney lays the groundwork for real estate pro-
fessionals eager to avoid con-
licts and provide their clients with worry-free transactions.
“Navigating the Maze: A Real Estate Broker’s Guide to Avoid-
ing Claims” was written by Ste-
phen R. Moorhead, a lawyer specializing in real estate trans-
actions for more than 30 years. The book, written in layman’s
terms, explains ramiications of court cases, requirements of mandated disclosures, and de-
tails of the Real Estate Settle-
ment Procedures Act (RESPA). It includes valuable tips for han-
dling transactions without risk-
ing liability or inadvertently vi-olating the complex regulations governing real estate sales.
Moorhead, a partner in the Pensacola irm of McDonald
Fleming Moorhead, is a graduate of Cumber-land School of Law at Samford University and Auburn University. He is active with Pensacola Habitat for Humanity and Home Builders As-
sociation of West Flor-ida, where he serves as general counsel to the board of directors. He also serves as director for the Greater Pensac-
ola Chamber of Com-
merce. Moorhead also owns

The church has hosted the annual Valentine’s event for many years, but this year the aim is to reach out to single moms and single ladies in our community. “As a church, we love to reach out and do something really nice for single ladies— especially single moms--- during a time when all the focus and attention is on couples” said Rev. Danny Loffredo, who serves as the church’s pastor and head of staff.
“It’s simply a great opportunity for us as a church to shower love on women who may not have special plans for Valentine’s Day” Pastor Loffredo continued.
The luncheon, which is free of charge, includes an elegant meal followed by a concert performed by the Pensacola Bay Harmonizers, an area aca-
pella or barbershop style singing group. “We’re extremely lucky to have them at a very busy time of year” noted Loffredo because the group travels around the area to do singing Valentines at restau-
rants or workplaces. There is no charge for lunch or the concert but
reservations are required and childcare is available upon request. For more information or to reserve your spot, please contact Rebecca at 850-932-3625 or email the church at [email protected]. You can RSVP online

The Internal Revenue Service is warning consumers about a sophisticated phone scam tar-geting taxpayers, including re-
cent immigrants, throughout the country.
Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire trans-
fer. If the victim refuses to co-
operate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation or sus-
pension of a business or driver’s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting.
“This scam has hit taxpayers in nearly every state in the coun-
try. We want to educate taxpay-
ers so they can help protect them-
selves. Rest assured, we do not and will not ask for credit card numbers over the phone, nor request a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer,” says IRS Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel.
“If someone unexpectedly calls claiming to be from the IRS and threatens police arrest, deporta-
tion or license revocation if you don’t pay immediately, that is a sign that it really isn’t the IRS calling.” Werfel noted that the irst IRS contact with taxpayers on a tax issue is likely to occur via mail.
If you know you owe taxes or you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS at 1.800.829.1040.

BEAUTIFUL DEER POINT PRESTIGIOUS CHANTECLAIREEXCLUSIVE TERRACE LEVEL
A young girl, an outsider in a foreign
land, begins to drift away from the
ideals her parents espouse. This is the
story told in “The Existence of Pity” by local
author Jeannie Zokan.Josie, 16, feels the differences between
the white, protestant American girl and her Colombian Catholic schoolmates which kept her on the outside looking in. She feels most comfortable during an annual conference of missionaries and their children, playing and testing their limits and that is where many of the plot points surface.
Her brother is also forging a path to his own identity, and their parents, busy with their church activities and ministering to the local citizens, turn a blind eye to the dangerous choices he is making. The live-in housekeeper, a young woman, is a role model for Josie, who often serves as a sounding board for Josie’s burgeoning ideas.
Immersed in Colombian culture, the infl uences the missionaries hoped to bring to the foreigners begin to be outweighed by the infl uences the foreigners are making on them.
Zokan draws on her own experiences as a child of Baptist missionaries living in Cali, Colombia, South America. She says her growing
up years were “beautiful, special and idyllic,”
and she describes in “The Existence of Pity” the
daily life centering around church, school, the
stirrings of love and the realization that parents
are humans, too.
Of growing up in Colombia, she says, “It was
an amazing experience. Even as a child, I knew
it was amazing.”
When people would ask Zokan what it was
like to grow up in South America, she said,
“There is no way to describe it. So, I am going to
write a book!”
She was always interested in literature and
earned a degree in library science from Baylor
University. She also got a publications specialist
certifi cate from The George Washington University but writing was a skill she wanted to
learn. To begin, she enrolled in a class at Pensacola
State College, where she found a supportive and
close knit group. “I had a personal relationship
with all those teachers and on the last day, we
went out for coffee together.”
She also joined the West Florida Literary
Federation on their recommendation.
“I couldn’t make the leap to writing a novel,”
Zokan said, until she participated in the National
Novel Writing Month challenge to write 50,000
words in one month.
The website, www.NaNoWriMo.org,
encourages potential authors to begin the journey
and sets a deadline so there is a sense of urgency.
Zokan, who was a stay-at-home mom at the time,
said she wrote an average of 1,667 words per day.
She participated in the program for eight years in
a row and “The Existence of Pity” was her third
venture, in 2010.
“Just because you write that novel doesn’t
mean it’s ready to go,” Zokan chuckled. She had
three separate critique groups help her hone it
into a novel ready to shop to publishers.
After sending out waves of query letters and
getting waves of rejection letters, she fi nally decided to let it go. “It’s funny how it works,”
Zokan said, because that is when she got the
attention of a publisher.
When she got a letter from Red Adept
Publishing, stating, “Congratulations. Our
acquisition team is interested in your book,” she
nearly dismissed it. The next day, she got a phone
call from an unfamiliar North Carolina number.
She answered it only because she has relatives in
the state, but it turned out to be the publishers,
wanting to discuss publishing her novel.
The process of refi ning the book included another two editors. “I am very grateful to Red
Adept Publishing,” Zokan said, because after
six years, her effort is a published reality, and
is available in Nook and eReader formats on
Amazon.com and BN.com. Print copies are
available as well, on Amazon.com.
Zokan lives in Gulf Breeze with her husband, Chris, and daughters Olivia, 19 and Natalie, 16.

Learn how
microplastics
affect planet UF/IFAS Extension presents month-
ly topics of interest to residents on the
second and third Friday of each month.
This month’s topic will be “Microplas-
tics: Tiny pieces causing big problems
in our waters.”
Join Chris Verlinde, UF/IFAS Exten-
sion Santa Rosa County Sea Grant Ex-tension agent, to learn about the impacts
associated with microplastics pollution
in our oceans.
For more information, contact Mary

Microplastics are polluting our oceans.
�La La Land� tells the story
of two 20-somethings, who,
like, thousands of others, at any
given time, have crazy, over-
sized dreams of creative success
in Los Angeles.
Mia, played by the impos-
sibly charming Emma Stone, is
trying to make it as an actress.
Sebastian, who is embodied by
the beautifully dark and brood-
ing Ryan Gosling, wants to open
up a jazz club to celebrate and
re-discover this fully American
music form for the lost and mis-
guided masses.
We see Mia and Sebastian
meet, squabble and eventually
fall headlong into a full-blown
Hollywood romance. They sing,
they dance, they struggle hard to
be recognized as the substantial
fully realized artists that they
are. They worry about compro-
mise, and selling out and the
true meaning of �success.�
And my, oh my, oh my � how
very, very important the issue of
their careers are to these charac-
ters. How deeply and painfully
self- absorbed every single char-
acter in this movie is. But they
are absolutely in love, and we,
as an audience, are fully and
completely wrapped up in it with
them. We feast on the costumes,
the set design, the soundtrack.
It is very dificult to imagine not being taken away, elevated,
enlightened and enchanted by
this movie. It is even harder,
however, to understand why
anyone would try to resist the
sheer joy of its charm.
�La La Land� will win the
Academy Award for Best Pic-
ture, and no other movie in re-
cent memory deserves it more. It
might even signal the beginning
of a new �Golden Age� and re-
birth of escapist elaborate Hol-
lywood musicals like the MGM
classics of the 1940s and 1950s.
Hollywood musicals might be-
come as common and frequently
produced as superhero movies.
Could you imagine that?
�La La Land� is now playing
in theatres everywhere.
Q: I was thrilled to read in
your column about the revival of
�Twin Peaks.� Any word yet on
when it will premiere? -- Adam
M., via email
A: Showtime president David
Nivens announced earlier this
month that cult-phenomenon
�Twin Peaks� will return May
21 at 9 p.m. with a two-hour
season premiere. As a bonus,
episodes three and four will be
available immediately follow-
ing the premiere on Showtime�s
digital platform. This season
will consist of 18 episodes and,
aside from the aforementioned
immediate release of episodes
three and four, it will unfold on a
weekly basis (not all at once like
Netlix is wont to do). And while Nevins did not rule out the pos-
sibility of another new season of
the series, he did tell reporters
that this season was designed as
a close-ended, one-time event.
As I�m sure you know, Kyle
MacLachlan will return as FBI
Special Agent Dale Cooper,
and he will be joined by several
original cast members (Madchen
Amick, Dana Ashbrook, Sheryl
Lee, Ray Wise, David Ducho-
vny, Sherilyn Fenn, etc.), as well as many newcomers (Robert
Forster, Monica Bellucci, Jim
Belushi, Michael Cera, Jeremy
Davies, Grant Goodeve, Ash-
ley Judd, Jennifer Jason Leigh,
Trent Reznor, Tim Roth, Eddie
Vedder, Naomi Watts and tons
more).
***
Q: I love watching �Girl
Meets World� with my kids, just
as my mom watched �Boy Meets
World� with me back in the day.
Will it be back for another sea-
son? -- Jill A. in Georgia
A: I hate to be the bearer of
bad news, but the Disney Chan-
nel conirmed that it has can-
celed the series after three sea-
sons. The network released this
statement: �We are proud that
for over 70 episodes, Michael
Jacobs, April Kelly and the tal-
ented creative team, cast and
crew entertained viewers with
an authentic and heartfelt look
at navigating adolescence.�
***
Q: Will
there be an-
other �Pup-
py Bowl�
this year?
-- Gina F.,
via email
A: You
b e t c h a !
A n i m a l
Planet will
begin air-
ing �Puppy
Bowl XIII� on Sunday, Feb. 5, at
2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT. The cut-
est competition in sports history
returns with an epic matchup be-
tween the adoptable players of
Team Ruff and Team Fluff, who
go nose to nose to win the inau-
gural Petco Lombarky trophy.
After the game of ear pulls and
tail tugs is over, they all end up
as winners when the puppies ind their forever homes. Don�t forget
the Kitty Half-Time Show, with
a performance by the feline mu-
sical group Chicago Rock Cats
with Kitty Gaga singing �Pu-
parazzi� to her little monsters of
adoptable rescue kittens.
READERS: Due to a pre-in-
auguration �20/20� special on
ABC, the winter premieres of
�Grey�s Anatomy� and �How to
Get Away with Murder� and the
season premiere of �Scandal�
have been pushed back a week
to Jan. 26. We�ll have to wait a
teeny bit longer to see what our
favorite must-see dramas have
in store for us.

Black powder demonstrations
are public interpretive programs
featuring living historians dressed
in period uniforms iring blank rounds from reproduction weapons.
The programs will begin in late
spring 2017 and will help visitors
understand the life of soldiers at the
park�s forts, the uniforms they wore,
and the equipment they used.
Through grant funding the park
was able to purchase uniforms, re-
production small arms, and other
equipment for the program.
Additionally, the park used dona-
tion funds collected by Eastern Na-
tional, who operates the park book-
stores, to purchase a reproduction
10-pounder Parrott rile cannon. “We are very excited for the re-
turn of black powder demonstra-
tions,� said Superintendent Dan
Brown. �We are especially thank-
ful for the donations making regular
cannon demonstrations available to
our visitors for the irst time in park history.�
Regular small arms and cannon
demonstrations will be conducted

NEVER RELAX
The game of bridge rarely allows its practitioners the luxury of relaxing. Those who adopt a casual attitude when an assignment looks particu-larly easy have learned through bit-ter experience that nothing is certain until the requisite number of tricks have been safely tucked away.
Consider this deal from the Open
Pairs at the 1993 Israeli Bridge Fes-tival in Tel Aviv. North-South — Pam Granovetter and Kathie Wei-Send-er of the United States — reached a game few other pairs did. Wei-Send-er then brought the contract home by avoiding a trap that would have ensnared many another declarer.
West led a diamond to East’s ace, and East returned the heart jack. West won with the ace and returned the queen. Many declarers would have put up the king at this point and been jolted by East’s ruff. Eventually declarer would have lost a club to East to finish down one.
Wei-Sender, a multinational and world champion, did not achieve that status by taking success for granted. Instead of risking a potential heart ruff by East, she played low from dummy on West’s queen, preserving the king for later. When West then led anoth-er heart, Wei-Sender again ducked in dummy, ruffing in her hand as East discarded diamonds on the second and third hearts.
The A-K of spades were then cashed. When the queen fell, declarer claimed the remainder, discarding her losing club on the heart king to put the finish-ing touch on a well-played hand.

and staff Wednesday night at their
irst meeting of the year when Da-
vid Forte, of the Escambia County
Public Works Dept., was making a report on proposed transit improve-
ments.
“I just found this out this after-
noon,” Forte said. “There has been
a hiccup with ferry boat contractors
who were getting upset because
they could not get going by March
or April this year.”
Forte said “they have not really
made this public yet, but they made
it clear to me today that there prob-
ably would not be any ferry service
to the beach this year, They just did
not want to go public yet.”
SRIA board members laughed,
pointed to the media table, and Kar-
en Sidell said “You just did!”
Forte said the county is still mov-
ing ahead with construction on the
ferry landing and welcome section
of the beach boardwalk. “We will
have that done this year,” he said.
Board member Tammy Bohan-
non asked about the cost and fund-
ing of the ferry service, and Forte
said, “We are going to recommend
that the county use money from
LOST (Local Option Sales Tax) to
pay for expenses.”

Pensacola Beach residents and visi-
tors may be seeing round-abouts in
their future as a way of handling trafic congestion at two locations, according
to David Forte of the Escambia County Public Works Dept. Forte gave a power point presentation to Santa Rosa Island
Authority Board members last Wednes-
day evening to show what options are
being considered in the county’s Long
Term Congestion Alternatives plan for
the beach. Forte wants the SRIA board
to vote sometime soon on which option
they preferred and make any sugges-
tions for changes to the plan before it
goes to the county commission March
9.
Forte recapped the last year of pub-
lic input, from the irst public meeting help on the beach with 94 in attendance
and 77 making written suggestions for
trafic and congestion improvements in April 2016 through the last public input
meeting October 2016 with 97 in at-
tendance. From those meetings, there
have already been two small projects
designed and underway toward comple-
tion – the entrance/egress at Circle K
which started construction in October
and was scheduled for completion in
March 2017 but is on track to be com-
pleted within the next two weeks, and
a new entrance/egress to the Casino
Beach parking lot.
The current entrance to the Casino
Beach parking lot off Ft. Pickens Road
would remain the same, but a new en-
trance/egress would be built for those
driving straight from the toll plaza on
Via DeLuna, with no turns to enter the main public parking lot until they got to
Casino Beach. “Many people now say
they cannot ind the way into the park-
ing lot, if they are not familiar with the
beach,” Forte said. “This should help
congestion, trafic low and get rid of some confusion.” Design for the new project was completed in November
2016 and construction is to begin this
month, with scheduled completion in
March.
Some pedestrian cross walks will
also be under construction and changed
soon. The blinking caution lights that
stop trafic have already been removed from some of the cross walks. Begin-
ning this month construction on the re-
maining cross walks that have blinking
lights will begin to have those removed
and a cross walk system Forte com-
pared to “one more like Pensacola State
College” will be placed, with small
speed bumps and tall lighting that will
illuminate the cross walks on the beach
for safety. That work is scheduled to be
completed by April.
The round-abouts come with three
options for the SRIA board to consider.
Option A is to have round-abouts on
Ft. Pickens Road, near Casino Beach
parking and one near the SRIA build-
ing in front of the Casino Beach parking
lot. Those would have pedestrian cross
walks.
Option B would be to have the two
round-abouts, but have elevated “over-
pass style” cross walks, above the road
(similar to the one in Gulf Breeze near
the high school). “This would involve
no vehicle conlict and we would incor-porate elevators and ramps in this de-
sign,” Forte said.
Option C would include the same two
round-abouts but include an under-pass
pedestrian walk way, which would go
under the road. “The underpass would
be the most expensive option,” Forte
explained "The road would need to be
elevated about six feet, then the under-
pass would go down into the ground also
about six feet, it would give pedestrians
about an eight to 10 foot clearance.”
Board member and chairman Dr. Thomas Campanella said since the
board just received the report members
would need some time to study it before
giving any suggestions or taking any
vote.
Forte said currently there are 2,323
public parking spaces on the beach.
‘Those cannot support the trafic and visitors during peak times, like Blue
Angels weekends,” Forte said. “So we
have also been looking at options to
create more public parking spaces.”
Areas have been identiied as possible new parking areas, beginning with 167
spaces that could be created on property
owned by SRIA by the ire station on Via DeLuna. There could also be 203 spaces created, Forte said, by the sher-
iff’s sub-station and another 16 spaces
on SRIA property near the old Visitor’s
Center.
He also told the board that by either
building a new SRIA administrative
building on the current site, or by mov-
ing the complex to another site on the
beach there could be 108 parking spaces
created.
“Of course, there is still the concep-
tual option of building a parking ga-
rage here on the SRIA building site that
would offer over 300 parking spaces but
[would] be expensive,” Forte said.
The board agreed to take a look at the
proposal and bring it back for vote be-
fore March 9.
Pensacola Beach will ex-
pand trolley service this year.
Executive Director/Director of Developmental Services Paolo Ghio told SRIA board mem-
bers last Wednesday evening
that he investigated options
and costs of trolleys running
longer hours and more months
than in past years and has a
plan he thinks will work, us-
ing trolleys from March all the
way through October.
“I’ve never used the trolleys
past Labor Day before, but I think this would help conges-
tion and trafic. We have been having more people visit the
beach than ever before – as
was reported by the Visitors
Center, in December alone, we had 852 visitors, up from 726
one year before.”
Ghio researched and put the
plan together with the idea of
a ferry bringing people to the
island, but Ghio said with the
trafic conditions and visitor numbers up, he still feels this
is a good plan for 2017.
“I did plan on bringing the
numbers from the ferry service
into this – nothing like hav-
ing a submarine run through
your presentation plans,” he
laughed, following the an-
nouncement by David Forte that there would likely be no
ferry service to the beach this
year. “But this is still a good
plan, keeping even more ve-
hicles off the beach roads, I
believe. We just may not need
trolleys for as many hours as
we would if the ferry service
was here.”

The Bridge-to-Bridge 5K
Run is now in its third year,
and City Manager Edwin A.
�Buz� Eddy says, �It�s been
very successful.�
As a result, organizer of
the event, Adam Guess of
Guess Consulting Inc. in
Gulf Breeze, requested city
council�s approval of the run
far enough in advance to
move forward with efforts
to obtain certifi cation as an offi cial 5K course this year.
The cardio-inducing event,
which occurs in October,
beginning in Pensacola,
continuing across the
Pensacola Bay Bridge and
terminating at the Bridge Bar
in Gulf Breeze, is quickly
rising in popularity, expecting
a grand total of approximately
700 participants this year.
In addition, the Gulf Breeze
Rotary Club scholarship
program will benefi t as a result of the race�s continued
success, with approximately
ten percent of all proceeds
from registration fees
going to fund the charitable
foundation.
Mayor Matt Dannheisser
addressed the idea of some
sort of public benefi t being derived from such special
e v e n t s
run by
for-profi t entities,
such as
Guess,�
last year.
� I n
my mind
there�s a
difference between that and
where you�ve got a charitable
group that�s sponsoring it,� he
said. Dannheisser wanted to
be clear that the benefi t was appropriate and not simply,
�Hey, here�s $10.�
Eddy explained that the
Rotary Club has received
their money from last year
at approximately a $3
contribution per registrant
(which Councilwoman Renee
Bookout agreed was fairly
signifi cant), but that Guess’ company has not yet made
any money off of the event
from the past two years.
Director of Community
Services Craig S.
Carmichael confi rmed, “My understanding is that the race
has not broken even yet. It is
still in its infancy and they are
growing it for the future.�
Carmichael further said
that the Rotary Club receives
its 10 percent for assisting
in staffi ng the event. “They provide manpower for set-
up, tear down and the water
station,� he said.
The event is also staffed
by the Pensacola Police
Department (PPD) who handles all traffi c issues because of the race course.
Additionally, off-duty control
and security for the after-run
activities.
The City of Pensacola and
the PPD previously approved
this year�s run.
As for the 5K certifi cation Guess is seeking, Carmichael
explained, �For any road
running performance to be
accepted as a record or be
nationally ranked, it must be
run on a certifi ed course.” While approval by the
Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT) is still pending, Carmichael
said, �According to the Police
Chief, there will not be an
impact on this year�s race.�
He added, �However, after
that, it is uncertain.�
The City of Gulf Breeze city
council gave its fi nal approval at Tuesday night�s meeting.
Dannheisser concluded,
�If it was a situation where
someone was going to make
$20,000 to $30,000, and the
Gulf Breeze charity was only
going to get a couple, then
maybe we�d have to look at it
more carefully.�
