Just \ é sere are you coming from?" Those of you who know the Mayor will agre: ‘ rer at I better have an answer. Many of my long term acquaintances, most whon view my new role as keeper of the Fort Walton morals with hilerit vt approached me and asked the same question as the Mayor; and here is saat l try to tell them. To am a regular church goer, but my effort in that area will probatl, vor make up for the forty odd years that 1 could find all sorts of Sous ss on Sunday morning not to attend. My missionary zeal falls short vany of those who have spoken out on This issue; but as one who hav ood there Lirst-hand experience in strip joint management than I care t¢t: it, I'll describe my feelings toward the participants and the observes: ‘haut of pity--net scorn. T am reotinclined to limit their activity !04 aioreasons; but there is a practical side to this issue that merits * Jens, deep, and serious thought; and in my view, requires some porate action. shert time ago, while my wite and T were having breakfast at Santo. anoen di:ghway 98, one of the patrons recognized my Century 21 shirt, bee ever, poked his finger in my chest, and started his lecture with: rou guys have got a serious problem around here, and you better wire &; ‘Gore at's too late." His story went like this: As an apparently bh}ito-to retiree from Arkansas, he has owned a condo in Ft. Myers, winter season, for about 17 years. For the last 12 yuarc oe eleow had a condo in Panama City; but in recent years the Panama oo. Grea had become so “honky-tonked up" that it just Simply was hota csont place to stay. He hed considered buying something over here moe he had always loved our climate and our beautiful beaches. fle Deon Staying at the Fl Matador with friends while he and his wife oa the ares over. His reaction was: “Hell, man, right now you are cry. tonked almost as bad as Panama City. There's no way I would buy me lt's a Gamn shame to see this happen to such beautiful places. vys better wise up." Now my period of compassion for a quy with two condos can be measured in seconds; but what he was telling me really sank in. Lf he coesn't see Fort Walton Beach as a yood place to live, neither does the retiree at any wealth level, or the young family looking for a nice place for their kids to grow up in. In dollar values, he's saying that you folks who are speculating in the condo market are going to start wondering what happened. He's saying to all of us that a less than desirable quality of life is developing here; and that if we are bot willing to make some decisions, that probably won't be popular with the G.I. ripoff artists and the tourist trap operators that have controllc: Fort Walton Beach politics for a long time, a beautiful town and a beeut.- rul way of living will be gone forever. Yeah, TI guess I'm a do-gooder, too. 1 guess part of it stems fron DVouwe and inystification over the fact that T am still alive and sittin: hore writina this, considering my combat «nd flight test records. An rep oan fie wishes, I will continue to do His will as I can best deterni: Suh oT peel sure it does not include looking down my nose at a gr who ote rve pity, mot scorn. By the same token, I refuse to use tux- racmmeney, in the form of police protection, parking lots, ana sanit oo. to ctubsd@ise these who have never paid their own way as oa lar bho Port Walton Booch. Last, 1 will foster and support legislation. “hat wiil establish, nat a level of morality or immorality, but @ les: a ak 3 cuality of life that I perceive the majority of Port Walton Beach wri Gre asking for. That's where E'm coming from, Kate. Submitted to City Council as an Exhibit at the Special Meeting © | held April 26, 1982. ee 4 L) fh OOM Pub | Mirnidliuld sapsoihrr S Se + : Ly . ~ fou (nH Lin, 1 * J . ” “a - a it. ff j ; - . 4 — 4. _ . : y t ed ” 5 yo, - ; 1 EWara Wrioly ¢ Meraadlant Lhe Neck Ewe i wa tee CO Oh DATE 04/27/80 06/27/80 07/24/80 08/07/80 08/15/80 09/03/80 09/08/80 09/26/80 “09/26/80 10/10/80 / 11/21/80 11/24/80 11/24/80 02/02/81 03/28/81 06/05/81 06/15/81 06/24/81 TIME 11:34P 3:21A 5:34A 10:35P 3:26A 1:l1l1A 1:44A 7:33P 10:33P 3:24A 2:20A 12:19A 12:19A 10:48P 3:47A 4:06A 2:01P 3:10A AT | ASABE Sr MS HHEHEST2DESSPEGTBLACTT OFFENSE REPORTS on BACHELOR I March 1, 1980 through March 31, 1982 CASE NUMBER 57488 59810 60926 61523 61765 62694 62894 63519 63526 63994 65535 65653 65654 67983 70048 72900 73296 73576 OFFENSE Criminal Mischief Disturbance Sexual Battery Battery Disturbance Disturbance Lost/Stolen Money DESCRIPTION Valve stems cut on vehicle located in parking lot.
