Hi everyone,

I?m Matt Christ and I host Matthew Christ Live (I know, the title is truly original), which airs on 30A Radio 107.1 FM and 30aradio.org, each Sunday from 11-noon. The show has been on for a little over a month and my guests have ranged from Mr. Kevin Boyle, the hilarious ?Flaws? comedian at the Seaside REP, to Walton County Commissioner Cindy Meadows. I?ve decided that one of the best ways to advertise the show to potential listeners is on SoWal.com, so I?ll start to announce a few days before each show my guest for the week.

Tune in to the 1/20/08 show, for:

Mr. Darrell Barnhill, current Chairmen of the Walton County School Board, (To discuss among many other things: current and past WCSB issues, including Blithe Spirit, school sizes, new schools, testing, and the expansion of the SoWal education community)

Also, a quick conversation I had with former NY mayor Rudy Giuliani, the current Republican Presidential Candidate who?s making Florida his last stand.

Email any questions you would like to ask Mr. Darrell Barnhill to mattchristlive@gmail.com . If you wish for me to not read your name out on air, please specify so in your email.

I?ve had the opportunity to meet many interesting people these past few months and intend to keep bringing local business, political, and entertainment leaders onto the show.
I have a great lineup in the coming weeks, including two prominent local developers who have changed the face of Walton and Okaloosa counties, as well a former state senator.

If you read the Walton Sun every Saturday and are trying to figure out why ?Matthew Christ? sounds vaguely familiar, I also write the weekly print column Young Wisdom in the Walton Sun?s A Section. Pick up a copy on Saturday and tune in to 30A Radio on Sunday!

Tune in,
Matt Christ :cool:

They bought 40 acres a few months back. ID #35-2S-19-24000-024-0000. Paid 2 million dollars. Unless something has changed they still do not have access to the property. It is landlocked, but the state has said they will give them a one year license to cross their property while they proceed with planning and construction.

:biggrin: this is wonderful! I wonder when it is suppose to be built and opened?

do you know where this land is, exactly?

thanks WaltonG, this shows the property to be on the east side of peach creek, north of 98 (east of 395/98).

can't wait to hear more about this school!

Interesting how he doesn't think that his vote to remove a literary work from the curriculum isn't censorship or book banning. Well, what is it then? He voted to take Blithe off every school library shelf. Ridiculous.

Bob S.- you called him on it- way to go.

is it just me or is anyone else creeped out by the fact that our school system (all school systems) is run by elected politicians? surely there is another way...

You know, even though I am aspiring to be one of those politicians, you are correct. The problem is that elected people are not sitting there making decisions based upon information that they are presented. There is always the element of doing what it takes to keep the greatest number of people happy in the back of their minds. So far, Mark Davis is the only one that I feel is consistently basing his decisions on information instead of emotions and emotional arguments. And even though I disagree with him on some of his decisions, I have a lot of respect for how he arrives at them and the fact that he sticks to what he believes without consideration of consequences to his future electability. And by doing that, he has, in my opinion, secured votes from far more people than he ever could have gotten by pandering to different groups.

I agree with you about Mark Davis, and we are crossing our fingers that you get "on board the school board", because you truly seem to understand the issues facing Walton County schools.

Great job, Matt! You sounded well prepared. Thanks for showing the horse, but not beating it to death.
