Leave No Trace

funny you ask that, because more often, people are accusing SoWal as being a place for only positive posts.

What's new with the passing. They've already passed it once. Now they passed it again. We will be more pleased when we see the beach free of crap in the evening, and when we stop falling into huge holes on the beach.

Code enforcement is comprised of five officers of which one is the manager, plus the administrative assistant. Leave no trace is well known to be very important to the citizens of south Walton. July 4th has to be one of the busiest times in south Walton. So how serious is the situation really being taken when you look at the allocation of resources.

Thursday--1 officer on duty - Gomer
Friday--1 officer on duty - Goober
Saturday--0 officer on duty - No one on duty-not even AuntB
Sunday--1 officer on duty - Barney

As this was being explained to me I may have mixed up Saturday and Friday. While Saturday is the holiday, Friday is what the county says is the holiday.

If this level of service is acceptable during such a busy time, one has to wonder, why not just go ahead and make this the level of service year round.

What will Goober, Gomer, and Barney be doing for the rest of the summer (Labor Day)? Maybe long term goals will be realized in (surprise, surprise, surprise as Gomer might offer to the idle ***** in a slapstick manner) the long term.

Who knows but if the past is any indication - NOTHING !

maybe you should leave the volleyball up on Saturday night.

I think they ought to just wait until October or November to even start this whole thing. Seems like it would be a whole less work then.

They never took it down !

I'm not sure what did or didn't happen in the past, but today we have a way to apply the heat to keep the golden goose that is our pristine beaches clean. Perhaps if the internet was around 30 years ago Miramar, Destin and PC wouldn't be the blight disasters they are now.

Sometimes trial by fire is the best training! Better to hit the ground running than be milquetoast about it.

Keep calling they will then just hire people at $35.00 per hour to be beach coordinators. That Goldgen Goose is producing fewer and fewer dollars and its not because of "crap" on the beach. Tourism is down as people try to keep their heads above water.

And the recession (or depression if you prefer) that lasted forever that you can cite is....?

That $35.00 per hour is probably a better long term investment than the whole 'THE Beach' fiasco.

understanding that I"m an ex-smoker, and a sometimes-beer-drinker, I'd give my left doo-dad for me and my kids (and everyone else, for that matter) not to have to wade through spent cigarette butts, pull-tabs, plastic and glass bottles, and myriad bottle caps as we enjoy our piece of Paradise......though I'd like to come across a pair of those cute left-over panties posted a few weeks ago!

I don't know if I could handle "professional" panties!

I must say one thing...ooooh, nasty! What would you do with them?

It seems that those that ride can see no difference - same issues over and over with no resolution.

This one is going to last awhile. Already has.

I don't understand. I thought 30-A was largely undeveloped until the 1990s. The crap on the beach issue can't be that old, at least not here. I think in areas where it has been an issue in the past it has been settled in a very crap-unfriendly manner.

You understand just fine.

You understand just fine.

Guess you are just smarter than me because no I don't understand your post about 30-A.

My hope is that you are in the minority and smarter heads will prevail. I think you just like to argue and live in the past....is that what you are interested in?
Enjoy your chairs.

To the original poster on this thread....if you have been lurking around here, you would know that both negative and positive posts have informed sowallers (near and far), stopped rumors and given many a platform to get great things accomplished in the area. Thanks for your post!

I am a dedicated lurker on this site and I rarely make my own opinion known regarding all of these issues. I firmly believe that everyone is entitled to their opinion and this is the perfect forum for airing those opinions. However this bothered me enough to write a post....I understand the frustration with the beach debris,I too enjoy our beautiful beaches every day. I have come to really love this area and am proud to call it home. There are people out there every day trying to solve these issues and come up with a working solution that pleases most of the masses and they have to start somewhere. Why do you,interested girl, have to resort to calling county workers names? Isnt it bad enough that Code enforcement officers have a difficult job? Why don't you show some support instead of derogetory name calling. Really...maybe you should walk a mile in their shoes before you spout off.

Have you ever called them, dealt with them, seen them in action, seen them actually do their job ? I bet not!

I initally gave them respect and support - having actually asked them to do their job and watching them, bob,weave and dance rather than enforcing the ordinances they are paid to enforce - they have lost that support.

I find nothing difficult about their job other than the fact that they find difficulty in doing it. Give me a break - the highest tourist day in SOWAL and no one is on duty.

If you want results on issues call Sheriff Mike.

Still trying to determine who plays Floyd's role and who plays Andy's role.

Still didnt answer my question, why do you resort to name calling? Doesnt solve the problem and causes resentment.
