The City of Fort Walton Beach would like to encourage everyone to be safe this 4th of July weekend. The Fort Walton Beach Police Department will be enforcing laws regarding illegal fireworks. Illegal fireworks are those that fly and/or explode. Sparklers, fountains and smokers are permitted. Police officers will respond to unlawful fireworks calls and confiscate all fireworks; charges may be filed if warranted. Police will also strictly enforce Driving Under the Influence laws during the holiday period. If you plan on drinking alcohol, please have a designated driver or call a taxi. A cab fare is cheaper than a DUI.
If you are planning on using fireworks at your home, the Fort Walton Beach Fire Department reminds you of these safety tips:
Ø Always read and follow label directions
Ø Have an adult present when setting off fireworks
Ø Buy from state certified fireworks distributors only
Ø Ignite outdoors with water handy (garden hose)
Ø Don’t make your own fireworks or take fireworks apart to see how they work
Ø Never relight fireworks that don’t work
Ø Don’t give fireworks to small children
Ø Store in a cool dry place
Ø Soak used fireworks in a bucket of water before disposing
Ø Never throw fireworks or shoot them at another person
Ø Never carry fireworks in your pocket
Ø Never shoot fireworks inside glass or metal containers
The City of Fort Walton Beach wishes everyone a safe and happy 4th of July.

This Thursday - Yappy Hour at Tijuana Flats, Fort Walton Beach
Tijuana Flats Burrito Co. presents Yappy Hour benefiting Panhandle Animal Welfare Services. Affectionately known as P.A.W.S., this private, non-profit organization is dedicated to the welfare of animals.

Thursday - HarborWalk Village Honors "Planting Peace" Hero
Destin, Fl (June 2010) The Red, White and Blue Celebrations are a weekly ceremony that honor local heroes. The celebrations highlight the efforts of people who go above and beyond, demonstrating heroism within their community. The celebrations continue all summer, featuring free local entertainment and children's fun activities. The entertainment performances will include the Highsteppers Dance troupe and The Ballet Conservatory. One of the highlights of the celebration is an exciting WWII mini airshow at the beginning of the hero's recognition every Thursday at 7:00 p.m. The big finale for each celebration is a spectacular fireworks display over Destin Harbor at 8:30 p.m. Weekly fireworks displays are sponsored by Buffalo Rock, Pepsi MAX and Cox Communications.
HarborWalk Village is honored to dedicate the July 1st celebration to Aaron Jackson.
Aaron Jackson is not the usual twenty-eight year old . This exceptional young man has always had a heart for helping the less fortunate. Jackson was raised in Destin, Florida and graduated from Fort Walton Beach High School. At the age of 22, Jackson along with his best friend, John Dieubon founded Planting Peace. But before his venture into non profit work, he interned with the organization Homeless Voice, that launched Jackson into being the co-founder of Planting Peace. Planting Peace contributes aid to Haiti Relief. He travels to Haiti approximately 15 times a year and has roughly 25 volunteers that assist him in making miracles happen.
Planting Peace has been featured on CNN several times and Aaron was nominated for Anderson Cooper's CNN Hero award for all his efforts. He has also been featured on Larry King Live, American Morning, USA Today, Headline News, Glenn Beck, Paula Zahn, Nancy Grace and the Associated Press. Assisting in 6 orphanages and treating over 9.9 million children in Haiti with de-worming medication. In addition, he is working to protect around 2,000 acres of Amazon Forest and has plans to have 10 million trees planted by the end of this year.
In light of the catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, Planting Peace has placed a call to action. The Planting Peace office is located roughly 40 feet from the Gulf of Mexico in Destin, Florida, so they are compelled to respond with vigor to this crisis. They have begun buying response boat absorption booms, and clean up equipment for any effort needed to clean and reclaim this beautiful part of the world. Planting Peace will be supporting animal welfare projects associated with this tragic dilemma.
Jackson's endeavors have truly helped save lives, benefitted the enviroment and improved living conditions in these underdeveloped countries. He stated in the Walton Sun, "I have no connection to money, so I don't miss it. I couldn't care less about money. It's not my thing."
For more information on Planting Peace projects or to make a donation visit their website at www.PlantingPeace.org.

Carol's Curtain Call - Theater Info - Week of June 28, 2010
Carol's Curtain Call Monday Memo www.carolscurtaincall.com <http://www.carolscurtaincall.com/> June 28, 2010
Sadly, another theatre friend has left us........Rich Lancaster passed away August 12, 2009. I heard about it now because of a memorial project at his home theatre, the South Baldwin Community Theatre in Gulf Shores, AL. Rich shared his wonderful talents with us in Pensacola performing at the Pensacola Little Theatre in BEYOND THERAPY in 1998 and the ODD COUPLE: FEMALE VERSION in 2003 and directing PICASSO AT THE LAPIN AGILE in 2001 and SMOKE ON THE MOUNTAIN in 2002, as I recall. I was lucky enough to appear in the ODD COUPLE with him. He played one of the Spanish brothers invited over to dinner. Valerie Russenberger and I played Flo and Olive, respectively. If you saw it, you'll remember the hilarity in the scene where the brothers (Rich and Jim Poule) joined us for the big date. So much fun! Rich was a pro. He was a very gifted actor and director who will be missed by so many. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.
This tribute is from the SBCT website: Rich Lancaster, an actor and director for SBCT, will be remembered for his contributions to theatre, with the dedication of a bench in the garden. “Rich was an area realtor who was active in this theater and other community theaters,” said SBCT Board President Elaina Herring. “He was a creative actor and director and his talents were appreciated by many who knew and worked with him.” Lancaster, 58, died August 12, 2009. He was a longtime resident of Gulf Shores where he worked and was involved with such community activities as SBCT and the Frank Brown Songwriters Festival. “How fitting for Rich that a garden bench be placed in his memory in the beautiful gardens of the South Baldwin Theatre, which was such a vital and important part of his life,” said Brucie Glassell, one of Lancaster’s friends. “The very spot where Rich loved to go smoke, while he paced back and forth so many times, going over his lines, is where the memorial bench will be placed!” Some of the productions Lancaster was involved with at SBCT included: Miss Firecracker, Gypsy, Stars over Dixie, Move Over Mrs. Markham and I’ll Be Home for Christmas. SBCT President Emeritus Joyce James extolled Lancaster’s talent as a director. “He was an excellent director. He knew how he wanted to interpret the play and did,” James said. The board of SBCT and volunteers created the memorial garden. “In the past, we had tables and shaded areas outside to sit, eat and work on lines,” Herring said. “As we have cleaned up the areas surrounding the theater this year, we noticed how beautiful and peaceful the back area was. The garden will be a peaceful place to encourage conversation and relaxation.”James said SBCT’s Memorial Garden is a wonderful project for the community theater. “It’s a fitting way to honor and remember actors and directors who have shared their talent with the theater,” she said. Donations made be made in Rich's name to the memorial garden and may be designated toward specific items such as tables, landscaping, fountains or personalized landscaping bricks. For more information on the garden, call SBCT at 251-968-6721.

"You're always auditioning." - Carol Kahn Parker
Sadly, another theatre friend has left us........Rich Lancaster passed away August 12, 2009. I heard about it now because of a memorial project at his home theatre, the South Baldwin Community Theatre in Gulf Shores, AL. Rich shared his wonderful talents with us in Pensacola performing at the Pensacola Little Theatre in BEYOND THERAPY in 1998 and the ODD COUPLE: FEMALE VERSION in 2003 and directing PICASSO AT THE LAPIN AGILE in 2001 and SMOKE ON THE MOUNTAIN in 2002, as I recall. I was lucky enough to appear in the ODD COUPLE with him. He played one of the Spanish brothers invited over to dinner. Valerie Russenberger and I played Flo and Olive, respectively. If you saw it, you'll remember the hilarity in the scene where the brothers (Rich and Jim Poule) joined us for the big date. So much fun! Rich was a pro. He was a very gifted actor and director who will be missed by so many. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.
This tribute is from the SBCT website: Rich Lancaster, an actor and director for SBCT, will be remembered for his contributions to theatre, with the dedication of a bench in the garden. “Rich was an area realtor who was active in this theater and other community theaters,” said SBCT Board President Elaina Herring. “He was a creative actor and director and his talents were appreciated by many who knew and worked with him.” Lancaster, 58, died August 12, 2009. He was a longtime resident of Gulf Shores where he worked and was involved with such community activities as SBCT and the Frank Brown Songwriters Festival. “How fitting for Rich that a garden bench be placed in his memory in the beautiful gardens of the South Baldwin Theatre, which was such a vital and important part of his life,” said Brucie Glassell, one of Lancaster’s friends. “The very spot where Rich loved to go smoke, while he paced back and forth so many times, going over his lines, is where the memorial bench will be placed!” Some of the productions Lancaster was involved with at SBCT included: Miss Firecracker, Gypsy, Stars over Dixie, Move Over Mrs. Markham and I’ll Be Home for Christmas. SBCT President Emeritus Joyce James extolled Lancaster’s talent as a director. “He was an excellent director. He knew how he wanted to interpret the play and did,” James said. The board of SBCT and volunteers created the memorial garden. “In the past, we had tables and shaded areas outside to sit, eat and work on lines,” Herring said. “As we have cleaned up the areas surrounding the theater this year, we noticed how beautiful and peaceful the back area was. The garden will be a peaceful place to encourage conversation and relaxation.”James said SBCT’s Memorial Garden is a wonderful project for the community theater. “It’s a fitting way to honor and remember actors and directors who have shared their talent with the theater,” she said. Donations made be made in Rich's name to the memorial garden and may be designated toward specific items such as tables, landscaping, fountains or personalized landscaping bricks. For more information on the garden, call SBCT at 251-968-6721.

Free Doobies and Kenny Loggins Concert on Okaloosa Island's Boardwalk This Sunday
Rock The Beach is a free concert sponsored by The Emerald Coast Convention & Visitors Bureau featuring The Doobie Brothers and Kenny Loggins live on Sunday, June 27 at 5 p.m.. We invite you to come to the beach behind the Boardwalk on beautiful Okaloosa Island to Rock the Beach and celebrate our beautiful Emerald Coast. The concert is free for everyone! There will be refreshments and beverages available, no coolers allowed. Free parking is available at the Boardwalk, the Emerald Coast Conference Center, Beasley Park, Gulf Islands National Seashore and Marler Park. Donations will be accepted in support of the losses suffered by locals because of the oil spill.
The Doobie Brothers are one of the very few American musical groups that have been able to achieve a phenomenal level of success and sustain it for a period of time measured in decades; it is a success that has sold more than 50 million records worldwide. Combined with their consistent appeal on the road, The Doobies have earned a fanatical loyalty for their high-energy shows, and are truly one of America's most loved rock and roll bands.
During nearly four decades as a professional singer-songwriter, Kenny Loggins has established himself as many things to countless music lovers. For the first half of the Seventies, Loggins was, along with Jim Messina, part of the popular and influential duo Loggins & Messina that formed in the wake of the classic 1971 album Kenny Loggins with Jim Messina Sittin’ In. Loggins grew even more popular for recording a series of soundtrack pop smashes including such Top Ten hits as “I’m Alright” from Caddyshack, “Footloose” from Footloose, “Danger Zone” from Top Gun and “Nobody’s Fool” from Caddyshack II.
For more information, please dial (850) 609-3800.
South Walton Community Council Public Forum on Deepwater Horizon June 26
On June 26, the South Walton Community Council will sponsor a public forum on the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
The guest speaker, Riki Ott, is a community activist, a former commercial salmon “fisherm’am,” and has a doctorate in marine toxicology with a specialty in oil pollution. Living in Alaska, she experienced firsthand the devastating effects of the Exxon Valdez oil spill—and chose to devote much of her time and passion to trying to do something about it. She is now meeting with groups throughout the Gulf to provide knowledge and support as the Deepwater Horizon spill so closely parallels many of the issues faced in Alaska.
Dr. Ott is the author of Sound Truth and Corporate Myth$: The Legacy of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill and Not One Drop: Promises, Betrayal, and Courage in the Wake of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill (Chelsea Green, 2008). She is also the founder of three nonprofit organizations that deal with lingering harm from man-made environmental disaster.
Dr. Ott will be speaking at the Walton County Coastal Branch Library this Saturday, June 26 at 9 a.m. The meeting is free and open to the public. The library is located at 437 Greenway Trail (near the courthouse on U.S. 331 south of the Bay)
Please come out and learn about oil, dispersants, and what to expect, health wise for people and the ocean and estuary ecosystem as the oil continues to gush and spread throughout the Gulf.
The meeting will end in plenty of time for those who are going to the beach for the Hands Across the Sand global gathering for clean energy and the end of coastal and offshore drilling.

New iPhone App for Local Realtors
The creator of the popular "30A" iPhone app and website announced a new mobile product today that's designed to keep home buyers and real estate agents in touch.
"Real Estate Touch" is a fast and inexpensive way for real estate agents to create a custom iPhone app, complete with their personal photo and contact information.
"Buyers can now access real-time property listings on their phone, while they're actually out looking for homes in a community or neighborhood," said Mike Ragsdale of Real Estate Touch, LLC. "The app automatically displays properties that are closest to their current GPS location, and then users can browse photos and details about any home that interests them. No more hopping out of a car to pull a damp, outdated sales flier out of a plastic bin."
In addition to comprehensive MLS property listings which are displayed on a real-time GPS map, users can also search by neighborhood, property type, square footage, price range and more. Ragsdale said that a key benefit for the real estate agent is that every single property listing features their own personal contact information, rather than the listing agent's.
"It's like buyers having the real estate agent on speed-dial," said Ragsdale. "The Realtor's face and contact info is right on the buyer's phone. Almost every Realtor has a personal website, and we believe that every agent needs their own mobile app to reach prospects during that critical time -- when they're actually out house-hunting."
Several real estate agents have already signed-up for their own custom iPhone app, which costs as little as $29 per month, said Ragsdale. Ragsdale said that the low monthly cost is an introductory price that is likely to increase as more users sign-up, but that new users can lock-in their monthly rate for 3 years. The apps are always free for users to download through Apple's App Store, which can be accessed on iTunes or using any iPhone.
"My clients are blown away when I invite them to download my iPhone app," said Tommy Brantley of Beach Properties of Florida. "It really gives my clients the exact info that they need, when they need it, right in their hands. It's a very powerful sales tool."
Ragsdale said that once a real estate agent has their own iPhone app, they can promote it on their Facebook page, their website, on business cards and in their email signature lines. "The more people who download a Realtor's app, the more phone calls and emails they'll ultimately receive," said Ragsdale. "The key is getting your app out there before everyone else. There's a very real first-mover opportunity at stake."
Ragsdale noted that similar versions of the product are already in development for other mobile platforms, possibly including Blackberry, Google Android and Apple's new iPad product.
"We're rolling out the iPhone product here in Florida's panhandle over the next few weeks, but are quickly expanding into numerous other national markets," said Ragsdale. "This is an opportunity for local real estate agents to be among the very first real estate agents in the nation to have a personal iPhone app that's specifically designed to grow their business and build stronger client relationships."

"The more people who download a Realtor's app, the more phone calls and emails they'll ultimately receive," said Ragsdale. "The key is getting your app out there before everyone else. There's a very real first-mover opportunity at stake."
Ragsdale noted that similar versions of the product are already in development for other mobile platforms, possibly including Blackberry, Google Android and Apple's new iPad product.
"We're rolling out the iPhone product here in Florida's panhandle over the next few weeks, but are quickly expanding into numerous other national markets," said Ragsdale. "This is an opportunity for local real estate agents to be among the very first real estate agents in the nation to have a personal iPhone app that's specifically designed to grow their business and build stronger client relationships."

HarborWalk Village Honors Educator Pat Kennedy Thurs. June 17
The Red, White and Blue Celebrations are a weekly ceremony that honors local heroes. The celebrations highlight the efforts of people who go above and beyond, demonstrating heroism within their community. The celebrations continue all summer, featuring free local entertainment and children's fun activities. The entertainment performances will include the Highsteppers Dance troupe and The Ballet Conservatory along with the Destin School of Music and Dance. One of the highlights of the celebration is an exciting WWII mini airshow at the beginning of the hero's recognition every Thursday at 7 p.m. The big finale for each celebration is a spectacular fireworks display over Destin Harbor at 8:30. Weekly fireworks displays are sponsored by Buffalo Rock, Pepsi MAX and Cox Communications.
HarborWalk Village is honored to dedicate the Thursday, June 17th celebration to Pat Kennedy, a lifelong educator and volunteer who has given a head start to many young lives by offering an opportunity for early education. Kennedy has launched several Head Start programs, offering an early education for high risk children. Kennedy is a tireless volunteer, and member of the Head Start Board of Directors. As a lifelong educator, Kennedy understands the power of the arts to touch peoples lives, especially when they are very young and just forming their views about the world. Kennedy volunteers as an art teacher with the McGriff Street Head Start program. Kennedy was so inspired that she started fund raising programs for art and music classes for children at high risk in our area. Kennedy knows that the life long investment of early education has changed many lives. Kennedy explains what inspires her most, "My greatest personal reward is seeing the children's happiness when they respond to our programs: the child who comes out of a depression because of dance class, the child who suddenly wants to listen to classical music instead of only rap, the child who overcomes obstacles in her personal life by singing her heart out.The gifts the children are given through the arts and literature programs are touching their future lives in ways that I may never know, but I am certain Head Start Arts will make their lives more interesting, meaningful and joyful. That's just what it has done for my life."

Synopsis: From the author of the best-selling novel, The House of God, this critically acclaimed version which played Off-Broadway in 2007, tells the amazing story of the two men who pioneered Alcoholics Anonymous, and of their wives, who founded Al Anon. During the roaring '20s, New York stockbroker Bill Wilson rides high on money, fame and booze. In '29, both he and the market crash and he becomes a hopeless drunk. Dr. Bob Smith, a surgeon in Akron, Ohio, and a pillar of the community, has been a secret drunk for thirty years, often going into the operating room hung-over and high on sedatives. His family has tried everything to no avail. Through an astonishing series of events involving doctors, ministers, the Oxford Group evangelical movement, and Henrietta Sieberling a scion of the Goodyear Rubber fortune, Bill and Bob meet on Mother's Day of 1935. The two men form a relationship which keeps each sober. Fired up, they seek out a third drunk to see if their program will work for others. Richly textured with the ragtime and jazz of the era, the play tells a magnificent American success story.

Synopsis: From the author of the best-selling novel, The House of God, this critically acclaimed version which played Off-Broadway in 2007, tells the amazing story of the two men who pioneered Alcoholics Anonymous, and of their wives, who founded Al Anon. During the roaring '20s, New York stockbroker Bill Wilson rides high on money, fame and booze. In '29, both he and the market crash and he becomes a hopeless drunk. Dr. Bob Smith, a surgeon in Akron, Ohio, and a pillar of the community, has been a secret drunk for thirty years, often going into the operating room hung-over and high on sedatives. His family has tried everything to no avail. Through an astonishing series of events involving doctors, ministers, the Oxford Group evangelical movement, and Henrietta Sieberling a scion of the Goodyear Rubber fortune, Bill and Bob meet on Mother's Day of 1935. The two men form a relationship which keeps each sober. Fired up, they seek out a third drunk to see if their program will work for others. Richly textured with the ragtime and jazz of the era, the play tells a magnificent American success story.
