    Prioritizing, now, what do people need for help after Hurricane Michael

    Obvious items needed in the first few months are being handled. I was wondering about what people need now in the aftermath of putting one foot in front of another and more of the unexpected domino effect needs are made clearer.

    Call for Volunteers to Serve on Walton County Boards and Committees

    That seems odd because a volunteer is not an officer, but a volunteer. I agree that that will turn off potential volunteers.

    Open question for beach front homeowners, their lawyers and their politician friends

    Aren’t there 4 answers to Customary Use? Use being one of those. What about without interruption? Without dispute? .Will the other ‘needs’ for Legal Customary Use need to be met? Or are they sold separately, hahaha, kidding-ish

    Vendor Mafia alive and well

    Public beaches cut in half for vendors and tent size went up to ten feet. No enforcement on tent placement either. Not fair.

    Testing the sand for Customary Use

    The WCSO SOP from 2015 started this sign issue because it was part of his trespassing requirements. Also, each beach has several surveys, registered, sealed in envelope...I can’t remember them by name but they’re in there

    Anyone seen what beach vendors in Destin doing?

    Does anyone know, if all the beaches become public, will the vendors 50% of public beaches still be in effect and just expand?

    Testing the sand for Customary Use

    When you write about the beach, I can really feel your love for it. But opening it up public without enough accesses, restrooms,parking and lots of enforcement is premature to me. We have been busting at the seams here for years. Except for the Deep Water Horizon time when all that false...

    Testing the sand for Customary Use

    When people “stand up” for what they believe in, shouldn’t they state what they are so passionate about rather than feigning ignorance for what they are doing? Daniel and Justin were insulting to the sheriffs department by pretending they didn’t know wet sand etc. And condescendingly dismissive...

    Yellow Fly Bites! I'm allergic....any remedies?

    I hope my helpful hints will help. Taking garlic pills as directed might help with the reaction. Washing off the bite with Dawn, then applying deodorant has helped me with itching, but nothing has been 100%. Sorry

    Dave Raushkolb: Customary Use Shouldnʼt Require Defending

    Beachfront property owners should have those surveys, from maybe 2015/2016 though, because of the Sheriff ‘s SOP in May 2015.

    Dave Raushkolb: Customary Use Shouldnʼt Require Defending

    Better to b**ch and moan, than to act on it constructing unnecessary drama. You start out all sweetness and light, then you dim.

    Dave Raushkolb: Customary Use Shouldnʼt Require Defending

    House Bill 631. There were 95 yeas, multiply that by 2 which equals 190 manberries we got.

    Walton County Customary Use: Where do we go from here?

    The County Commision did not follow the law already in place. So, please don’t unjustly accuse someone, unless you have proof . Huckabee was only involved in the shot down compromises by the County Commussion, nothing else. Karl Rove’s input? Seriously? Did Elvis tell you that? Want to put a...

    Customary Use of SoWal Beaches: Contact Governor Scott

    Many people don’t come here because it’s so crowded. I worry about ambulances and fire trucks being able to get through. Also, Disney is a theme park accustomed to crowds.

    Way over crowded roads, restaurants, and shops is also a turn off to tourists. Why would they spend a good portion of their vacation waiting in lines?

    How many signs can a business leave out 24/7?

    I guess it’s that time of year, but the real-estate signs are quite prevalent too.

    Customary Use of SoWal Beaches: Contact Governor Scott

    I know where they go to the bathroom because I’ve seen 4 people today, and counting, go under the stairs on the dune and potty. They are not spring breakers, but a family with glass bottles and metal shovels. So now the beach looks like Afghanisand and smells like it too. There are some...

    But this bill is not about taking customary use away. It’s about both sides having their fair day in court.

    Customary Use of SoWal Beaches: Contact Governor Scott

    When the County steps in, there are legal steps for them to follow. And with signs, there is even a rule about the dimensions of signs and color. Why didn’t they enforce their sign rule, if they did all of this because of aesthetics? Yes, beachfront owners still own the same amount of sand...

    Customary Use of SoWal Beaches: Contact Governor Scott

    Actually, what is bass ackward is that the County put an ordinance in place without going through the proper protocol. They over stepped the laws in place and whether you are a beachfront owner or not, be glad that they are being reeled in because soon they may want your titled property.

    We need a county commission that is mature enough not to just react and honest enough to follow the letter of the law.

    Proposed bill could void Walton County's customary use ordinance

    Strange that this ‘incident’ is being brought up now, for the first time? I would assume it could be found in their evidence for Customary Use, since this seems to be the springboard.

    When Beach Re-Nourishment was being discussed, I know of 12 beach front owners that wanted to pay for their own re-nourishment and the County declined.

    Proposed bill could void Walton County's customary use ordinance

    Why and where does it say that the beach is for all to enjoy? Can’t people enjoy the beach at the parks etc without the taking titled private property on the whim of the County?

    What In The World Is Going On?

    The first week in April is when Fulton County schools will be here. I have heard that week is Spring Break to many schools with a bad reputation here, but I cannot remember them. It is also Easter on April 1st, so there’s going to be a bunch of people here that week.

    Airboat Tours on the bay and river what say you?

    Well, twice a year, during ThunderBeach, there are packs of motorcycles and I don’t mind. In fact, I truly love the big guttural Harley sound. It’s temporary and many ride together for a greater good. But the airboat and its sound six days a week at 8am is like your neighbor using a leaf...
