?I suspect he thought you were shooting him a bird. Not a friendly move. This is an unincorporated area; people can carry weapons if they want. Secondly, the county went to a lot of trouble building a "BIKE PATH" for the tourists that like to ride bikes. Most native Walton countians don't ride bikes, too many miles just to get anywhere. Most vehicles that drive on highways have to be street legal, ie, lights and the ability to drive the speed limit. Highway 30A is a narrow road without any shoulder, and riding a bicycle in the middle of the highway is dangerous, inconsiderate, and very irritating. When I see a cyclist in the middle of the road, I think, why did the county put in a bike path? What, do they think they own the road? They have to [sic] much leisure time on there [sic] hands! And when they don't move out of the way, they have just made a statement that they don't care about anyone else on the highway, or where the vehicles have to go. They are on vacation, and to heck with the rest of the world!?
Citizens in south Walton County identified the writer of the above post as Adrienne Walline Campbell, a fact she confirmed Aug. 19 at a meeting of the South Walton Mosquito Control District. Campbell is a candidate for the board seat currently held by Jim Crawford.

Due to the predicted tropical storms, this weekend the tacticians of the South Walton Mosquito Control removed all 16-test stations where we housed Sentinel birds to monitor West Nile and other related diseases from mosquitoes. In addition to having birds at these locations we have traps which are designed to capture mosquitoes to evaluate the count of population of mosquitoes in a given area. All of the spray trucks were set up to run Friday and will be out today.

With the aggressive monitoring that the South Walton Mosquito Control performs daily, we believe that we will only have minor problems, which will be taking care of immediately. If you are experiencing a large amount of mosquitoes in your yard, please contact our office and we will have a technician come and do a survey of your property. We gladly perform this service. 850 267 2112

Also, a reminder that if you are having any problems with yellow flies, we will be more than happy to provide you with a black ball to attract the yellow flies rather than have them bite you. This is just another service, we provide, the black ball is a noninvasive non-chemical means to control yellow flies.

John J. Magee
Commissioner

Hi John,
Not everyone is 100% behind the program but I appreciate you posting here and letting us know what is going on.

Are they still dithering about whether to bring this guy up on charges?

Find it freakin' unbelievable that they have multiple witnesses to an incident that happened in broad daylight AND the lawbreaker admitting to not just threatening the people but driving without a license ............... and they wonder if they have a case!

To lessen confusion, the race of South Walton Mosquito Control, isn't today. I believe that is on the Nov ballot.

ciclismo, do we need to start a letter-writing campaign to get the gov't to file charges and send him to court?

She confirmed it herself, according to the article.

It really isn't rocket science, my website is in my profile page! Besides, it was in the "DeFuniak Herald", do you really think I said anything knew to those readers?

I've read this thread from the beginning and have been amazed at some of Floridagirl's comments. Suddenly however it's all very clear. A little background for you all. I have lived in South Walton County my entire life (33 years), I grew up here and now am raising a family here and am employed at a local business. After a little online research I discovered that I was one of the renters she is constantly mentioning. I was a young, single mother working full time. She was never compassionate at all as she has claimed. My daughter who was very young would be playing outside and Floridagirl would come by and scream at us saying my daughter was making too much noise and disturbing others! I'm not sure how a 2 year old playing in the dirt could bother someone but clearly she did. When I saw floridagirl's name in The Walton Sun I was amazed! I hope that the rest of WalCo catches on to what The Beach Breeze has exposed thanks to her comments.

Not true about the child, I do however have a noise ordinance concerning load music/parties, and I don't allow tenants to grow pot in the yard!

Floridagirl must not think much of herself. She's only given $50 to her campaign. That's the only contribution, I might add. If she could only find that guy with the orange truck.

I have not solicited money from anyone, don't see that it is necessary. Don't care to waste money unnecessarily.

You tell 'em, girl. I know from experience that if you let your 2-year-olds throw loud parties and grow pot in the yard, they'll be turning tricks and making meth by the time they're in kindergarten, and the whole neighborhood goes down the toilet.

Keep those standards high, and if they balk you need to brandish a firearm at the kiddies.
