Frustrated by the county’s response to drainage-related flooding issues in Holley By The Sea (HBTS), residents of the massive subdivision drove to Milton to attend Santa Rosa County’s annual flood mitigation meeting on Aug. 22 at which the county’s flood plan is reviewed with respect to flooding incidents. The citizens shared flooding issues with various county officials, who readily admitted they were unable to provide a quick fix to drainage problems plaguing the neighborhood. Compounding the situation has been the tremendous rainfall. Over 30 inches of rain fell during July and August combined – more than twice the average precipitation for that time of year. One rain event July 22 was especially heavy, causing localized flooding in several areas of Navarre, including intersections on Grenada and Ortega streets and in HBTS on Aurora Street. As previously covered in Navarre Press, Aurora Street resident Lauren Goolsby has lived in her home for eight years but did not experience any flooding until new homes were built adjacent to her home at higher elevations in 2012. Goolsby spoke about what she described as a condescending attitude by a county employee about the drainage problems

Other residents expressed exasperation over ridicule by county staff who, they say, refer to their subdivision as“Holley By The Swamp.” “We’re tired of that,”said Laurie Gallup, a local realtor who also lives in the subdivision.“(Goolsby) can’t sell her house now. I’ve got to disclose
this property floods,”added Gallup, underscoring the gravity of the issue by pointing out that disclosures of flooding incidents are mandatory during the sale process. Residents also discussed the frustration of not knowing which department to contact.“Where do you go to the minute this starts happening
because where we’ve been going for the last 45 days is not getting anything done,”said Gallup. Stephen Furman, assistant director of public works, suggested that if he is notified he will ensure the issue is addressed by the appropriate staff. Drainage continued on page 4

Furman: Reduced budget forces county to become ‘reactionary’ to flooding By Shelby Smithey HBTSnews As the wettest summer in recent history draws to a close, some Holley by the Sea residents are still feeling the repercussions the heavy rain has caused and are looking to Santa Rosa County for help. Standing water is a common sight in the HBTS area since early July.Tom Kirkham and Louise Millhouse became concerned when they noticed standing water was collecting in the backyard of their Indigo Street home. When the water failed to dry up several days after the most recent rain event in late August, Kirkham decided to call Santa Rosa County to have an expert look at their property to address the issue. “This is our first summer living in Navarre so we weren’t sure if all of the rain and drainage issues were normal,”Millhouse said.“Just from talking with people around here, they have all said that this is the worst rain they have seen in 10 to 15 years.”

There are
Mosquitos Continued from page 1 where there is standing water for long periods of time, such as wetlands and ponds. Hussey said that because the county treats most standing water, the mosquitoes people are seeing are usually not from ponds or ditches. “Most of the time these mosquitoes are from small amounts of water from tires, trays from flower pots and gutters with leaves,”Hussey said.“That definitely gets overlooked a lot.” According to their website, The Mosquito Control
Department has 28 spray routes that cover the entire county. Each week approximately 10 to 12 routes are sprayed. Route schedules are assigned on Monday afternoon for each week and are based on the following criteria: the number of call-ins the preceding week, field
reports from the larvicide crews and mosquito counts from traps throughout the county. Hussey said that if you notice a mosquito problem in your neighborhood, call the Mosquito Control Department at 850-981-7135.
The “5 D’s”
Dusk and Dawn — Avoid being outdoors when mosquitoes are seeking blood. For many species, this is during the dusk and dawn hours. Dress — Wear clothing that covers most of your skin. DEET — When the potential exists for exposure to mosquitoes, repellents containing DEET are recommended. Drainage — Check around your home to rid the area of standing water, which is where mosquitoes can lay their eggs.

just not a lot of places that the rain can go.” Kirkham also told Jones that he believes the lack of deep swells in the front yards of the surrounding homes could be contributing to the standing water in his yard as well. “With constant rain, the ground can only hold so much water and then it has to go somewhere else,”Jones said.“If it is an easement or drainage system that the county maintains, they will do whatever they can to correct it. Public works crews are working out here a lot and are doing all they can to keep the water moving.” Jones also said that design flaws during the construction of the first homes in the HBTS in the ’80s might be the cause of much of the area’s drainage issues.

somewhere between $2.5 to 3 million. If you look at those percentages in reduction, it is hard to be proactive.” Furman said that currently, crews are working on replacing collapsed culverts under Sherwood Drive, and that another crew at Brewster Street is putting in pipes to get rid of the standing water. He said that next week, a crew will be at Valley Place replacing another collapsed culvert. “Once we get enough dry weather, we will be able to go in and attack some of these areas that we didn’t have access to before because of standing water,” Furman said.“We have a whole list of things that we know we have to do and that we will get to. We just don’t have the work force when we get hit with six straight weeks of rain.”

mittee meeting, Stephen Furman, Santa Rosa County Assistant Public Works Director, expressed similar concerns. “We certainly have some built-in problems from when the county first began installing drainage pipes in HBTS 25 years ago,”Furman said.“Some of those driveway pipes are sloped the wrong way. It takes a lot of money and effort to fix and align those driveway pipes.” Furman said that currently two crews are working to address culvert issues in HBTS, but that budget cuts stemming from decreased property taxes prevent the county from being“proactive” about drainage issues. “We are a reactionary force since this county voted in 2007 to reduce property taxes,” Furman said.“Our Road and Bridges Department budget has been reduced to

18 years of trading chapels for sunshine and salty air
The congregation enjoys the shade of a tent during a Navarre Beachside Church service. By Shelby Smithey HBTSnews For more than 18 years, Pastor John Kerns has been trading chapels for sunshine and salty air at his Kerns “church without walls.”Starting on Memorial Day in 1995, Navarre Beachside Church first got its start as an outreach program. “We originally formed as an outreach of the Navarre United Methodist Church that ran May to September,” said Kerns, who lives on Coral Street in Holley by the Sea. “We used to meet on the back deck of Cowboy’s Steak House on Highway 98.” In 1997, Kerns formed White Sands Ministries so he could hold his service year round. Seven years later, the
church was moved to Cocodrie’s on Gulf Boulevard due to damage from Hurricane Ivan. From there, the church found its final spot in the Navarre Beach parking lot. Tents and fans are set up in the lot during the summer months. “Our church is non-threatening,” Kerns said.“People can just wander up. We accept people just the way they are. For example, one woman came to our church so drunk she couldn’t even talk. She has been coming back since then.” Kerns first got his start in the Methodist church as a certified lay speaker.“When the pastor was unable to attend service, I would preach in his place,”he said.“I preached all over the area at many different churches. I’ve even preached once in a Catholic church. Just about three out of every four Sundays a month

there was a church that would need a speaker.” Kerns explained how his church’s mission is to be accepting of others and to heal and restore people who have had negative experiences.
“There have been a lot of people that have been hurt by the church they may have been at,”Kerns said.“When we began our church our mission was to heal and restore these people that have been hurt.”
Kerns said that he always makes music an integral part of his services. Last Sunday, Kerns and his band played a rendition of“Amazing Grace” and a song called “New Church Rising.” “Our services always involve
music,”he said.“I play guitar and my wife, Irene, plays bass.” Kerns said that 25 to 50 people on average attend Sunday service, but during the summer many more attend. At last Sunday’s service, Kerns addressed a crowd of more than 60 people. “Turn to your neighbor and say, ‘It is okay to come to church and have fun,” he said. Carrie Cook, who attended last Sunday’s service with her husband Jason and three children, said that she was visiting from Richland, Miss. “This is our fourth visit to Navarre Beach, but our first time coming to the church,” she said.“We just love coming to Navarre Beach. We have told people about Navarre Beach, but we don’t tell them how to get here. This is just a simple, laid-back and safe place and we really look forward to our visits.”
Local dancers are national champs By Joni Williams HBTSnews
Two groups of local dance students — many from the Holley by the Sea nieghborhood — took top honors at the NYLA national dance competition held in June in Biloxi. The dancers are students at A Time To Dance, a local studio with a location on Hwy 98 between Coral Street and Sunrise Drive. Dancing to “Say Something,” jazz students Caitlynn Funkhouser and Sophia Villanova took first place in the 11-and-under category. Hip-hop dancers Megan Gragg, Casey Colvin, Alexa Poscic, Tim Smith and Courtney Bruce finished first in the 12-and-older category for their rendition of“Raining Men,”choreographed by Cat Vider of Los Angeles. Although A Time To Dance students have previously taken first place at regional competitions, co-owner Robert Kelley said this is the first national championship. “Nationals are about as high
as you can get,” he said proudly. The accolades were hardwon in light of the dancers’ training that began a year in advance, Kelley said. Typically, training for younger dancers includes taking three to five classes per week and older ones, 10 to 11 classes. They also perform a two-tothree-hour weekly rehearsal on Friday or Saturday, regardless of their age level. “We’re already forming the groups for next year,” Kelley added, which means training is in full-swing with a new schedule slated to begin in August, at the same time school begins. Regional dance competitions start up again in January and once competitors have three or four wins under their belt, they’ll move onto nationals. The NYLA national competition can last as long as four days for top finishers who continue to make the final cuts. Although both of the winning groups wound up competing for the full four days, they aren’t resting on

Septic systems contributing to flooding issues By Chris Chatelain HBTSnews Will Arnett has been even busier than usual lately. In addition to the typical daily septic tank work, the owner of Arnett Septic in Navarre has also been pumping out ditches that are clogged with muck and full of water. “It’s definitely been real busy lately, especially with the recent rains,”said Arnett.“Residents and homeowners have been calling in like crazy and requesting ditches pumped out.” Arnett said that in addition to poor drainage in most of the areas that have been hit hard by flooding in July and August, septic issues are contributing to the problems. First, Arnett said that many of the homes in Navarre have a hill where the septic system is located, which in itself creates a flooding issue because it changes the way water moves and drains. In Florida, a percolation test is used to determine where the ground water is. Once that is determined, there must be 24 inches between the drain field and the ground water, Arnett said. “The issue in Holley by the Sea is that the water table is already near the surface,” said Arnett. Thus, the mounds must be built to accomplish the 24-inch separation. The mounds affect drainage, which then leads to saturation. When saturation is reached, Arnett explains that the septic systems fill up with ground water and then back up into homes. It’s a cycle — septic mounds lead to drainage issues, and the drainage issues lead to septic issues.

Architectural Variances: 2005 Bayou Drive: Santa Rosa County approved. Fence needed within 10 feet of a property line, Approved. 1831 Sparrow Lane: Motion to deny Long term parking application for commercial vehicle Commercial MAC truck. The ACC recommended denial because it didn’t meet the requirements of the parking policy and covenants. The owner of the truck was in attendance and said it had been there since 2001. Dan said that it became an issue when they had a complaint and he felt that we should approve because he has had his truck for more than 5 years. Our covenants still say no commercial vehicles but owner is willing to cover the logo from the front and the hardship is that this is the residents’ primary source of income. Pete Peterzen stood up to say that he had been involved with the current policy for the current parking permits and“It says no commercial vehicles.“ Beth recused herself and the motion passed.
HBTS establishes Stormwater Task Force Usage Variances: The Holley by the Sea Board of Directors has established a Stormwater Task Force to investigate the stormwater issues our neighborhood is experiencing and make recommendations to solve these issues. Holley by the Sea was developed in the early 1970s before many modern stormwater mitigation laws came into effect. The drainage plan is basically a series of swales, ditches and drainage basins. Through the years these swales, ditches and drainage basins have not been maintained. They are overgrown, clogged and in some cases, gone altogether. Santa Rosa County has the responsibility of maintaining the system but has not done so. In addition, the new homes being built in our neighborhood are built at higher elevations than existing properties and all of the trees are stripped from the lots. This further compounds stormwater problems by forcing the newer properties’ stormwater onto the property of the
older, existing homes. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has been contacted to investigate the problems we are experiencing with flooding, standing water and building standards. We will report their findings to you as they become available. The following members were named and approved for the Stormwater Task Force Committee at the August 29 meeting: Steve Supachana, Angie Supachana, Allen Davis, Sherry Smith, Laurie Gallup, Tom Kirkham, Dayton Wenzel and Brian Thornton. Consider volunteering for the Stormwater Task Force. We especially need persons with expertise in Civil Engineering and Stormwater Management. If interested e-mail BoardofDirectors@holleybythesea.org. The following are things you can do to help control stormwater: ■ Maintain your swales and culverts on your property. Keep
them cleaned out to allow water flow. ■ Plant more trees in your yard. Trees help reduce stormwater runoff. Good varieties for our area include live oak, bald cypress, Florida maple, pine and magnolia. ■ Use rain barrels and cisterns to collect rainwater from your roof and downspouts. Use collected rain for watering needs on your property. ■ Plant ground cover and use mulch in thinly vegetated areas. ■ Don’t dump lawn clippings into the swales and ditches. The clippings will form dams and water will not flow. ■ Utilize porous surfaces whenever possible for driveways, walkways and patios. Pervious surfaces allow rainwater to seep into the ground. ■ Encourage builders to leave as many trees as possible on new construction. ■ Report clogged drains to BoardofDirectors@holleybythesea.org

Wildlife, landscaping brings ‘dirt therapy’ to Smith’s home
Photos by Shelby Smithey
By Shelby Smithey HBTSnews Frequent visits from black bears aren’t stopping H.D. and Tina Smith from keeping their yard wildlife-friendly at their home on 7875 Frankfort Street. “We would like to keep the backyard as open and untouched as possible because of the wildlife,”H.D. said. Since the Smiths live on the edge of an undeveloped wooded area, they are used to seeing a wide range of animals near their home.“We get visit from bears, deer and raccoons,” Dina said.“We enjoy seeing wildlife.” H.D., Dina and their two sons Cam, 17, and Zach, 15, moved into their Holley by the Sea home in 2008 after living in Germany for four years. H.D. serves in the Air Force and was stationed there. Before moving to Germany, they had lived in Navarre since 1995. “We love our lot and we started on a few landscaping projects after we moved in,”H.D. said. The Smiths’ yard includes a picturesque running water fountain next to an outdoor lounge area. H.D. said that he relied on his past experience with landscaping years ago to bring the fountain to fruition. “I did landscaping as a summer job in high school,”H.D. said.“I’ve had experience in mortar work, woodwork and pavement. So some planning definitely went in to it. I didn’t go into it cold turkey.” Plants and flowers including lantana, hydrangeas, and spiral evergreens which accent the front yard were bought locally from Hiawatha Nursery, Inc.
Ever since the recent surge of black bear sightings in the area, H.D. and Dina have been forced to adapt their yard to make it more bear-resistant. H.D. said that he built a fenced area to protect his trash and recycling bins from being tampered with by bears. “We had to build the fence to keep the bears out,” Dina said.“We have also reinforced our bird feeders to be squirrel and
bear-resistant as well.” Dina said that one of her favorite past times is bird watching in her backyard. H.D. and Dina built a specially-designed bird feeder out of a flag pole. “We’ve seen at least 30 species of birds,”Dina said.“We’ve seen bluebirds, indigo buntings and even a painted bunting once. Painted buntings are rare birds to see.” Dina said that they go through 40 pounds
of bird feed every two weeks.“The chickadees and finch love the bird feeder,”she said. The Smiths also incorporate family heirlooms into their landscaping, adding a unique and personal touch to their yard. While overseas, Dina said that she bought an antique wagon from Poland, and now uses it as a flower bed for an exotic plant called Ixora, which has vibrant pink and red flowers. The Smiths also have two potted plants of Christmas cactus, which has been in H.D.’s family for five generations, handed down from his second great-grandmother. “We've been in base housing previously, so it’s nice to get some dirt therapy,”Dina said. “The kids pitch in too. It's a joint effort.”

First Class M.D. – Personalized care for lifelong health Healthier lifestyles lead to improved quality of life and longer, happier lives. The staff at First Class M.D. understands this and has plans in place to help people address their health before there are problems. It’s a proactive approach rather than a reactionary one. The words“health care” often conjure an image of a sick patient visiting a physician for treatment of an illness. Dr. Wayne Burnett of First Class M.D. wants to change the way Navarre approaches health care and wellness. “Insurance companies only want a doctor to fix you when you are broken,” Burnett said. “But physicians practicing functional medicine know there’s an optimal level that guides us to wellness. We try to fix you before you are broken.” One way First Class M.D. is doing that is through its weight management program, which is not simply based on pharmaceutical cures, but on a complete personal approach specific to each patient. “Weight management is a comprehensive process,”said Burnett.“We offer behavioral modification as a foundation, and then we help our patients make therapeutic lifestyle changes, which we call TLC, helping them learn proper exercise and how to restrict their calories by assisting with food selection, portions and timing.” Burnett said that First Class M.D. endorses and applauds with Ann Hering at The Diet Center, who also helps people lose
weight and live better. “Medicine is a team sport, and all providers should be able to work together to benefit the community,” “Together, we strive to achieve the goal of fighting obesity and the challenges of being overweight,” said Burnett. “Being overweight leads to several other medical problems such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and stroke, etc. We address the metabolic needs of patients rather than just tell them to go on a diet. It goes way beyond that.” Weight management can provide more than just improvement to physical health, said Burnett. “Being at a healthy weight can improve one’s mood, as well as improve memory, focus and concentration,” Burnett said. “So there’s certainly a mental aspect that is equally beneficial.” A highly sophisticated approach to weight management will include the use of state-of-the-art body composition technology. And, First Class M.D. also has a new product line of nutrients and products to support a healthy metabolism. Burnett is a member of the International Society of Functional Medicine, a member of the World Health Net Organization, a community of physicians and health care professionals dedicated to helping patients live longer and healthier lives. He is also currently finishing a Master of Science degree in biomedical nutrition and endocrinology, and is pursuing an Advanced
Fellowship in Anti-Aging and Regenerative and Functional Medicine. His dedication to continuing education, researching new treatments and bringing new knowledge to his patients is one of the many examples of Burnett’s commitment to the health and vitality of the community he has served for 20 years. First Class M.D. is in its third year of providing concierge medical services to its patients. Concierge medical service is a concept that blends state-of-the-art medical care and cutting-edge technology with a caring physician healer who works with his clients to ensure that all the aspects of wellness and medical care are tailored to the individual’s needs. Typically, a concierge medical service may begin at $1,800 per individual. But at First Class M.D.,

clients can buy into the practice for a low $600 yearly fee, which can be billed monthly. This translates into a cost of only $1.64 per day. The concierge model gives clients access to their medical team 24 hours a day and ensures same day appointments. “As the complexity of the health care industry unfolds, more concierge practices are becoming prevalent in numbers,” Burnett explained.“We are the most cost effective and inexpensive private practice that does concierge medicine.” Burnett said the concierge model has given him the ability to “do more things for fewer people and practice more effective medicine than I was ever able to do before.” For Burnett, there are five pillars of health. The foundation starts with
maintain a healthier, longer, more youthful life, and Burnett has extensive knowledge and takes time with patients to understand their unique metabolic needs. “My goal is to meet you early in life,”Burnett said. However, if that doesn’t happen, First Class M.D. also offers an elderly care program and is in the process of acquiring a Balance Plus, a machine that assesses an elderly patient’s fall risk. Burnett said the machine measures the capability of the central nervous system, which consists of the voluntary and involuntary systems. “A fall risk is important when someone is older because the chance of dying is higher if they break a hip,” he said. “So the Balance Plus assesses equilibrium and physical strength to maintain balance.” Burnett will also instruct seniors on how to stay mentally fit as well. Activities such as memory games can go a long way in improving brain function, fighting dementia and reducing the risk of falls. Burnett also reminds residents that now is a good time to put in orders for flu shots, as well as review their immunization status.
overall peace, which requires stability, safety and security. The second is de-stressing. “We become good at coping, but that’s just surviving skills,”he said.“Letting go is a (de-stressing) technique and the sooner we learn the better.” The other three pillars are the ones that many people forget about a month after making their New Year’s resolutions; exercise, nutrition and sleep. Burnett said fitness only requires at least 20 minutes of exercise a day, three to five days a week. Good nutrition requires six servings of vegetables, four servings of fruit and three lean proteins a day. He also recommends six to eight hours of sleep per night. “But there are threats that challenge our health,” he said.“There are an infinite number of environmental threats and internal challenges to our immune system but only a finite response the immune system has to those challenges.” Immunosenescence, the aging of the immune system, also is a threat that First Class M.D. tries to combat by slowing down that process through its wellness/anti-aging program.

Hidden Creek recently tree trimming and new rolled out its $1 million ren- mowing equipment.

like a carpet than the former greens, meaning the greens will play faster than before.“A common complaint we heard before was that our greens were outdated. They were 25 years old. With the new ownership, we had an opportunity to address that, and we did.” The new owners of which Taylor speaks is the HolleyNavarre Water System, which Taylor indicates is invested in the long haul and wants to return the club back to the way it was in the ‘90s. “We are grateful that new ownership is interested in
keeping current and improving, and I know this will in turn have a trickle down effect on the community,” said Taylor.“People are going to notice a difference.” The Holley-Navarre Water System purchased the Club at Hidden Creek in November of 2012. With all the improvements, Taylor and Hidden Creek hope to attract not only more local business, but also hope to host a U.S. Open qualifier and other pro tournaments. The course has already hosted the Ducks Unlimit-
ed golf tournament land the Boo Weekley charity golf tournament. “I’m positive that everyone will enjoy the course, and we just hope that the weather will be nice so that all can have a good time.” Weather permitting or not, Taylor is certain that the new greens and other improvements will be good for business. “Business has been fantastic already,”Taylor noted. “We had a great weekend, and our week is getting booked and shaping up nice. We are a neighborhood course, and we embrace that.
But we see big things coming on the horizon.” Taylor said he expects the Boo Weekley event to bring in between 2,000-to-3,000 people this coming weekend. If last Friday’s public grand re-opening was any indication, big things are indeed on the horizon. “Very nice improvements, and the greens are much better. They’re fantastic. It’s noticeable,”said Gulf Breeze resident Terry Schultz, who was playing a round with three of his buddies.“Now if I could just improve my game,”Schultz joked.

■ Rain! WEAR TV3 reports that we have had over 47 inches of rain to date. Standing water is the new norm throughout our community. HBTS is seeking volunteers to form a Storm Water Task Force Committee to deal with the flooding, drains, culverts and swale areas. Additionally, we need a few more volunteers for the Architectural Control Committee. If you are interested in serving on either of these committees, please contact the Board of Directors at Board-
ofDirectors@holleybythesea.org. It is important to follow our local weather forecast for flood warnings and watches in order to be proactive. Normally, Santa Rosa County will designate a location in the south end of the count y to distribute sandbags and fill dirt. You may contact Santa Rosa County at 850-626-0191 or contact your local fire department for further information during heavy rains. ■ The mosquitos are out of control because of the standing water. Please

Hello HBTS members, I hope everyone Barrett enjoyed the summer. School is back in session again, so remember to drive carefully. During the month of July, we replaced the florescent bulbs and fixtures with T-8 bulbs and balusters throughout the recreation center, the weight room, the aerobics room, the youth department and the locker rooms. Not only are these bulbs brighter, but they are more energy efficient as well. We had an inspection of the replacement in August that qualified us for a total rebate of $1,300 on the costs. We have received the drafts of the reserve fund report and the threeyear insurance appraisal and should have that completed near the beginning of September. The leaking roof over the weight room will be completely replaced in September under the manufacturer’s warranty. We are getting an engineered proposal to address the erosion by the playground and pavilions so we can get that repaired properly. We hope to have that area back open by the end of the month. During the month of July, the Architectural department handled 222 new violations and resolved 112 outstanding ones. We had 14 new home starts and finals on seven more. Also, 24 home improvement applications were submitted and 16 were completed. We had four temporary parking permits submitted as well. Our end-of-June account balances for HBTS are: Operating Account $2,104,495, Reserve Fund $569,356 and Improvement and Expansion fund $227,326. We have $70,077.50 in assessments still uncollected for 2013. Our Operating Expenses were 2.50 % over budget as of July 31, 2013. As always, I am in my office Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Please stop in any time if you have any questions or concerns.
