Stanley Robertson has been sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole for the August 2010 murder of Annie Toliver in College Station.
At least ten of the 12 jurors decided there were mitigating circumstances in the defendant's life that warranted the life sentence over death.
Tuesday afternoon, the jury announced it had "deadlocked" on the second question of their charge: whether Robertson was mentally retarded.
To get to the second question, jurors would have had to unanimously decide Robertson was a future danger.
Obviously, they eventually answered the mental retardation question as a unanimous "no, he is not" in order to move to the third and final question. By virtue of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, the mentally retarded cannot be executed.
In the end, it took 21 hours from start to finish over three days to reach the last conclusion: at least ten jurors thinking something from Robertson's life warranted a life sentence over the death penalty the prosecution sought.
All 12 jurors would have had to have thought there were no mitigating circumstances for death to be imposed.
Wednesday was the seventeenth day of the trial.
Robertson was found guilty on February 7 of the kidnapping and stabbing death of Annie Toliver, his ex-girlfriend's mother, in August 2010. Robertson told that ex and authorities he killed Toliver because the ex wasn't there for him, including after a July 2010 arrest for allegedly putting a knife to the ex's throat in front of her kids and holding her hostage. Toliver's body was dumped in Fort Worth, and Robertson ended up intentionally crashing his SUV into a Fort Worth police officer's car during a chase.

They are between 30-50 here in SW VA
When I was in Europe, they are VERY pricey over there. The little local 9 hole course in Garmisch Germany was 45 euro so like 60 bucks for a nine hole piece of shit
I played at a European PGA course in Lisbon (we lied and said our handicaps were 2) LOL but we paid about 185 dollers for those 18
"...for he today who sheds his blood with me shall be my brother." William Shakespeare

I started playing golf about 6-7 years ago.
My busiest year on the links was about 4 years ago when I wasn't working. I went at least once a week. It was great.
Last couple years I would only go out maybe once a month.
Not sure what type of course you guys play....but I have played course from 20 bucks to courses that cost 150 bucks.
I usually try and play courses around the 35-42 dollar range.
Ottawa has the 2nd most golf courses per capita in North America (behind Murtle Beach). We have a lot.
Big difference here between the cheap ones and the good ones are the cheap one's are usually boring farmer field courses...with shitty greens.
Huge variations of courses here too. From links courses to courses with lots of trees and elevation changes.
Last couple years I have also made a week long trip to an area an hour North of Toronto where they have some beautiful huge courses. Basically courses built in a National or Provincial Park that are just ridiculous....most do not even allow golfers to walk because of the distance between holes and elevation changes.
I have not improved much of my golf game for the past 3 years. I am pretty much the same.
I make it a point at least twice a year I play using strict rules. No gimmes at all, no mulligans, no free drops nothing...I found it helped me. You would be surprised how many people actually miss 1 ft putts at least once in an 18 hole course.
Yep, I golf... I am TERRIBLE, but like you guys are saying, it's a laugh to get out with 3 of your buddies, in the sun drinking beer for 4 hours
Of the T I'm ok, not great not bad... I would say the strongest part of my game are my irons, fom like 150 yards in... and then once I get to the green it's a disaster haha
But yeah, golf is a laugh
Here in Alberta though, unless I wanna go into an indoor range or something, I spend my time on outdoor hockey rinks, and up on the mountains in the winter time
I always thought it would be hard to golf in a city where the weather goes from 35 to -35 Celcius (from 95 to -31 Farenheit) I golfed this past year on the hottest day of the year where with humidex it got up to 45 degrees Celcius/117 Farenheit and walked.
People say that golf isn't a sport. To those people, I contest that they try playing an entire round where it is 45 celcius with the humidity then tell me golf isn't a sport.
I personally like golfing in super heat...rather that than cold weather where I tighten up after the first 9 holes and my game is all over the place.
But I have golfed at 13 degrees....a year ago I did it for a week straight. Golfing wearing two gloves and hat (touque)
Golf is an underrated sport that so many athletes from so many sports play....and it is great office talk with most executives.
In Germany, we (couple of Army buds) decided while drunk, to play snow golf. We took Orange balls out and just used the wedges. Did not work to well, we got hammered and lost dozens of balls. I don't think it even crossed our minds that we could not see the hole. LOL
But hey it was fun!!!!!!!!
"...for he today who sheds his blood with me shall be my brother." William Shakespeare
"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it." Helen Keller
I used to, but not anymore. I'll still head out to the driving range every now and then. I'm decent at the range, but suck on a course!
I played 3-4 rounds where I didn't use any woods at all and just used irons.
I love hitting the range and wacking the shit out of a ball....but my slice is crazy.
And I have no problem playing without a driver...getting outdriven by friends, but beating them at the end of the day.
What killed it for me was about 6 or 7 years ago, my wife was really getting into golf. She signed us up for a weekend course down in Florida at a John Jacobs school. It was so intense.........by the end of the weekend, my hands were badly blistered. When I got home, I was done. I didn't pick a club up again for probably 2 years.
I do find that it is somewhat like riding a bike. I can go to the range and hit them fairly decently after not having been there for a long time.
We actually have 2 courses on our street. One is gorgeous and fancy, and has green fees to go with that. The other is a par 3, and the most casual place you could ever go. Heck, you could play in a pair of shorts and barefoot if you wanted. Would be a perfect place to host an "MMA News Forum" golf outing!
I love to play golf. I am ok. I try to hit up the driving range before I go out and play for real. My best quality is that I don't get pissed if I make a bad shot. I see my buddies (and my dad) freak the fuck out when they hit the ball bad. I just say fuck it and drive the fuck on.

Situated in the historic port town of Whitehaven, The Rum Store is a truly unique, not to be missed experience. Once through the doors you will leave behind the technology driven culture of modern- day England and be transported back to the tropical paradise of the 18th century Caribbean jungle, where you will begin your nautical journey through the Rum Story.
The journey traces the origins of Whitehaven's sad involvement in the slave trade and its transportation of men and women from villages in Africa to the Antiguan sugar plantations, where they were made to work for wealthy landowners. The stories are filled with tales of morally bankrupt pirates, waring aristocrats and all the customs and cultures of the day. You can experience the legendary punch houses, and see how gangsters operated their illegal pubs and bars in an age of jazz and corruption. The stories all link back to Whitehaven and the Jefferson family who played an integral part in the maritime exploits of the day, as well as preparing and selling their exquisite rum.
The Rum Store is a great twist on the traditional museum experience and kids will love it! Last admission is at 15.30 and ticket prices range from Adult £5.45, concession £4.45, child £3.45 and family £16.45.
The Courtyard Cafe provides a menu full of home-made nutritious snacks and lunches. There is also a great little gift shop where you can pick up unusual quirky gifts and of course sample some of the famous 1785 Jefferson's rum.
For further information go to the Rum Story Website

Here's a date for the diary, all you car enthusiasts; April 25th. The last week end in April is when the city of Carlisle will host it's famous Pirelli Carlisle Rally. For almost a quarter of a century the city has been home to this high speed, high thrill sport. The event attracts some of the sports biggest superstars, all of whom are looking to blaze a trail of thunder through the historic Lakeland city. The high-speed action packed display is a must see for all petrol heads.
The rally really does bring the community together, with young and old residents alike lining the streets to catch a glimpse of celebrity drivers and to cheer on the gasoline-guzzling mean machines. It really is a colourful celebration of all things petrol-powered. The backdrop could not be more scenic, as the race sets off in full of view of Carlisle's old town Hall.
The Pirelli Carlisle Rally is the only rally which has been a part of the official British Rally Championship since its beginnings. With the cancellation of this years British Championship, due to a last minute loss of contracts with the rally's main promoters and despite no other rally of its type in the pipeline until 2016, Pirelli Carlisle will still go on as planned, but with a slightly different schedule than in previous years. The city will host a couple of other major series shows this year, including a round, rather than a whole event, of the British Historic Rally Championship, featuring a host of iconic rally cars from days gone by. There will also be a round of the R.A.C. Rally Championship, a National series set to bring in crowds of passionate spectators.
The Pirelli Rally takes place on April 25th in Carlisle city centre for more information goto www.pirellicarlislerally.co.uk

The U.S. Court of Appeals ruled yesterday against the Environmental Protection Agency, striking down an Obama administration regulation to reduce emissions from coal-fired plants that crossed state lines.
In a 2-1 decision, the federal court ruled that the EAP had exceeded its authority by attempting to limit the amount of of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide released in a number of states.
Also known as the Transport Rule, the Cross State Air Pollution Rule defined emissions responsibilities for 28 upwind states based on their contributions to downwind states' air quality problems.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin said in a statement that the rule was struck down for two reasons:
"First, the rule went far beyond the EPA's express statutory authority by requiring the upwind states to reduce their emissions by more than their own 'significant contributions' to downwind states' air quality," Tomblin said. "Second, the rule failed to give states the initial opportunity to implement the required reductions with respect to sources within their borders."
Tomblin noted that this was the fourth time that a federal judge had ruled against the EPA for "overstepping its authority and trampling on states' authority."
"It's time for Washington to stop trying to tell us how to run our coal mines," Tomblin said. "The policies the EPA is trying to push on our state are anti-coal and anti-West Virginia. The record is clear; the EPA is 0-4 in its war on coal. I'm asking President Obama to reign in his EPA and end this war. Enough is enough-the EPA has been told time and time again that it is acting outside its authority."
Both U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall and U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin released statements praising the court's ruling.
"The Court's decision echoes a recurring theme that I have been hammering away at for a long time now – that the EPA, in its zealotry to advocate air pollution controls not authorized by the Congress, has gone well beyond its statutory authority, as well as public opinion," Rahall said. "The courts are rightly calling EPA on its extralegal actions, and that's good news for coal miners and their families in Appalachia."
"I am especially pleased with this decision in particular because the court explicitly said that the EPA was wrong when it didn't give states the chance to pass their own rules before the EPA imposed a federal plan," Manchin said. "Common sense should tell the EPA that their strategy is wrong and it's been proven futile. Working with the states will do a lot more to fix the environment and the economy than taking an adversarial stance."
The new downwind pollution rule was triggered by a federal court throwing out the previous one penned by the Bush administration. The new regulation would have replaced a 2005 Bush administration rule and would have cost power plant operators $800 million annually in 2014, according to EPA estimates. That's in addition to the $1.6 billion spent per year to comply with the Bush rule that was still in effect until the government drafted the new one.
The EPA stated the investments would be far outweighed by the hundreds of billions of dollars in health care savings from cleaner air. The agency also stated the rule would prevent more than 30,000 premature deaths and hundreds of thousands of illnesses each year.
Tuesday's court decision leaves the 2005 regulation in place.
An EPA spokeswoman said the agency was reviewing the decision, and would determine what steps to take after the review is complete.
The Associated Press contributed to this article.

A British man has invented a bed with a built-in alarm clock that physically ejects people out of their slumber! This bed uses a series of sirens, bells and horns to jolt the sleeping occupant awake before literally thrusting them onto the floor. Invented by Colin Furze and dubbed the "High Voltage Ejector Bed," this product is perfect for anyone who has trouble getting out of bed in the morning. There's no official launch date for the ejector bed, but one thing is for certain; this product will literally launch us into the future...whether we like it or not!

Which Walmart? I was at the one on Kendall drive in West Kendall, but I was third in line. Glad I didn't have to do the Apple store in the AM! I waited on South Beach for my 4S and it was quite warm outside, even in October.
New iPad Miami Mayhem
The Mobile Nations team just hit the new iPad launch in South Beach and we made quite a splash. With new Retina displays in hand (procured at WalMart) at midnight, we arrived with iMore T shirts and had a blast.
Mobile Nations hits Miami
The party started for us at midnight at the local WalMart in Miami. Five of the Mobile Nations team including @crackberry kevin and @teamvisor arrived at WalMart at about 11 PM and found ourselves about 20 people back in line. Just as advertised, new iPads were brought out at 12:01 AM. Kevin procured a 64 GB White, Marcus – a 32 GB 4G on AT&T, Tom got a 16 GB White and I got a 32 GB Black.
We grabbed about four hours of sleep and then thought it might be entertaining to unbox our retina displays for all to see….in front of the Apple store in South Beach. The Queue was a couple hundred people deep of eager iPad enthusiasts.
Mobile Nations gets TV "FaceTime"
On our way in, Kevin and I were stopped by the local NBC affiliate and interviewed with our new iPads in hand. Kevin was then snagged by CNN (we will post links to all interviews as we receive them.)
Then we fired up the crowd and handed out the smashing and stylish iMore T's. We asked who the iMore readers were and they got the first batch. Then, suddenly everyone in line "remembered" that they were iMore enthusiasts and clamored for the T-shirts.
iMore T-Shirts given out to the crowd
With the T-shirts gone, we watched the mayhem that is an Apple launch. The iOS faithful emerged with smiling faces, lighter wallets and shiny new hardware to show off.
Our NBC interviewer then realized that he was in the presence of greatness and fame in the person of CrackBerry Kevin. He gushed about the endless hours he spent on CrackBerry.com and wanted to hear all about Mobile Nations and iMore.
All in all, it was a great outing. If you are in Miami, look for the iMore T-shirts on display and watch NBC and CNN and look for us. Now, we are busily restoring iCloud backups and setting up our new, beautiful iPads. Lots more to come!
Stay tuned to iMore.com and keep watching the forums.

New iPad Miami Mayhem
Yeah, that's the Doral store.
Can't believe CNN was there! I was the first one out of the Miami Beach Apple Store with my iPhone 4S, but only got interview by WSVN 7 and the Miami Herald. And worst of all I didn't drop the name of my blog or wear a tshirt with my blog name and logo. Oh well, guess I'll try hard for the next iPhone. Maybe I'll see you guys at Miami Beach later this year.
In the poll next to this, what color iPads are the 70% of readers getting who didn't order White OR Black??
Or the 65% of people getting neither Wifi Only OR Wifi+Data?
Or the 66% of people getting nether 16, 32, or 64GB Varieties?
Are they selling 128GB, Blue, ESP iPads somewhere and I missed it???
I'd expect some people to check more than one size, color, or networking type (if they are buying more than one iPad), but this makes no sense!
Thats a loooooong line! How many people were in line? 5? Wow!
I thought the other side is for "The New iPhone"
When people think of Miami, they unfortunately call it "going to Florida" and picture Miami Beach in their mind, so not misleading at all.
This is the "iconic" Miami store, but there are several down here. I think 4 in Miami-Dade alone. Dadeland and the Falls (only like 10 mins apart), then Miami Beach and finally Aventura.

Rapid Immune Daily helps:
- Strengthen your immune system
- Keep your immune system primed and ready for action
- Promote natural killer cell activity
- Reduce cortisol levels and reduce stress and anxiety
- Provide antioxidant protection against free-radical damage.
Plus, it tackles the other "side effects" of stress, helping to:
- Promote normal blood sugar levels
- Support normal blood lipids
- Lower levels of C-reactive protein.
As you may know, our immune systems are under a lot of pressure, particularly in the winter, when we're faced with big temperature swings, holiday stress and travel, and breathing dry, recirculated air in tightly sealed buildings. Dr. Whitaker has developed this new immune supplement to support your entire immune system and target the main reasons you're likely to get run down in the first place. In one daily dosage of Rapid Immune Daily™, you get:
- Epicor®, a powerful immune booster that activates your entire immune response. Several years ago, employees working at an animal feed manufacturer were producing a special feed additive derived from yeast. The manufacturing company noticed that their health insurance costs were going down because the employees handling the yeast were taking fewer sick days. It turns out that inhaling small amounts of the dust from this yeast actually enhanced the employees' immune response—helping them stay healthy! Researchers then took the yeast, identified the components that were acting as immune boosters, and sent it through special processing to refine and concentrate it. The result is EpiCor®.
In one research study, adults taking 500 mg of EpiCor® showed a rapid increase in "immune boosters"—in just two hours! The number of white blood cells, immune-boosting granulocytes and NK cells all increased. Another human clinical trial showed that taking 500 mg of EpiCor® for 60 days increased levels of IgA—cells that help your gut form protection against unwanted invaders.
In another recent study by NIS Labs, EpiCor passed a bioavailability test. This powerful immune ingredient was evaluated on its antioxidant potential and an independent firm, Embria Health Sciences, confirmed EpiCor's bioavailability and quality standards. These series of studies found EpiCor's antioxidant properties to enter into and protect live cells. EpiCor is a yeast fermentate and a natural high-metabolite immunogen reported to have the antioxidant (ORAC) potency three times that of any known fruit. It is said to cause a four-fold increase in the activity of the "natural killer" cells that guard the immune system.
In addition, the phytonutrients in EpiCor give it a higher ORAC value (a measure of antioxidant capacity) than cranberries, blueberries, blackberries, acai, red wine, and pomegranate juice.
- Sensoril® to reduce stress, anxiety, and cortisol levels. This patented, highly researched extract helps to measurably reduce both stress and cortisol, the stress hormone. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, participants taking 250 mg of Sensoril had a 24 percent drop in cortisol! They were also calmer and less anxious. Plus, their sleep, memory, and ability to concentrate all improved. Sensoril also supports normal blood sugar, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. Plus, in the study it lowered participants' levels of C-reactive protein—by more than 30 percent!
Sensoril is an adaptogen extracted from the ashwagandha plant, which thrives in harsh-growing environments. Taking it helps your body adapt to stress, too.
- Vitamin D to support normal immune system cell functionality. Your good health depends on vitamin D. That's because your immune system cells contain receptors for vitamin D and if vitamin D isn't present in adequate amounts, those cells cannot function properly. New research is proving it. Several recent studies have shown a strong link between vitamin D and healthy immune function. Plus, a study of 14,916 men showed a connection between vitamin D and good cellular health.

Ring Toss

- Ellen in Oregon said...
Just wanted to tell you how much I love Ring Toss. Hard to believe it was quilted in one day. I wish I could wave a magic wand and send you home immediately. Maybe if you click your heels 3 times and say "There's no place ..." You get my drift. The booth would not work for a hyperkinetic person like me. Hope you escape soon and get home to all those cuties.

While the official start of summer is June 20 this year, the Pushmataha County area has already been experiencing elevated heat levels with much more still to come.
The hot days of summer are not something to be taken lightly. According to the Center for Disease Control, more than 500 Americans die from heat-related illnesses each year. By contrast the average mortality rate in the United States from tornadoes, earthquakes and floods together is less than 200.
There are those individuals who suffer in high-level temperatures because they are unable to cool down.
The human body has a cooling mechanism where it will sweat to bring the body temperature down but others are unable to produce the needed sweat because their body temperature rises so quickly.
People here, of course, are used to hot weather, but here are some tips to keep in mind when trying to beat the summer heat.
First of all, stay indoors and in an air-conditioned environment as much as possible unless you're sure you have a high tolerance for heat.
Drink plenty of fluids, but avoid beverages that contain alcohol, caffeine and ones that are saturated with sugar.
Eat more frequently, but make sure your meals are balanced and light. Check frequently on folks who are elderly, ill or may need help. And if you feel you might need help, arrange to have family, friends or neighbors check in with you at least twice a day throughout times of hot weather.
Cover windows that receive morning or afternoon sun. Awnings or louvers can reduce the heat entering a house by a much as 80 percent.
If you can't stand to be cooped up in a house all day, plan strenuous activities for early or late in the day. Take frequent breaks when working outside.
Dress right. Wear a wide-brimmed hat and loose-fitting clothes when you're outside.
Avoid getting sunburned. It slows the skins ability to cool off. Use a sunscreen lotion with a high sun protection factor (SPF) rating.
Skin cancers are most common in people with lighter skin tones. There are three common skin cancers — basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma.
And don't make the mistake so many people do and take a cool shower immediately after coming in from hot temperatures. That can result in hypothermia, especially for very young or the elderly.
Never leave people or pets sitting in a hot car, which could be fatal. Every year the nation records people and pets, which have died as a result.
Like with people, hot, humid weather can fatal for household pets left in cars or chained outside. They can suffer brain damage, heat strokes or even die in such situations. Temperatures in a parked car can quickly reach more than 120 degrees, even with the windows partially opened.
Make sure your animals have plenty of shade, and cool, fresh water to drink. Don't leave older pets, pets with health problems or short-nose dogs, like pugs—outside in the heat.
Heavy panting, glazed eyes, vomiting, staggering or an unsteady gait, rapid pulse and a deep red or purple tongue are signs associated with heat stress. If your pet exhibits any of these symptoms, you need to lower its body temperature immediately by getting your animal in the shade and letting him drink cool, but not ice, water.

Tricking the branches of flowering trees and shrubs into blooming early, a practice known as "forcing branches," is a beautiful and colorful way to showcase the budding promise of warmer days.
Almost any bloomer can be forced at anytime, says Phil Mueller, of Star Valley Flowers in Wisconsin, which ships woody ornamentals to florists and major retailers. But to increase your chances for success, stick with forsythia, cherry, or crabapple, which generally respond well, and get started late in winter. Mueller gives his tips on forcing.
1 Cut twice It's easiest to force branches when their buds begin to plump, about three to six weeks before normal blooming season. Cut with care, considering the shape of your tree or shrub. Once inside, re-cut the bottoms of the branches on an angle with a sharp pruner.

After The Walton Sun's article about a proposed sports complex for South Walton hit the streets last weekend, the community was abuzz with comments about the proposition's pros and cons, and many had questions.
"A new sports complex is an excellent idea, especially if it has amenities for adults also like roller blade paths, pickleball courts and tennis courts. Where is a public facility in South Walton to play tennis? Even if we get just the fields it would help. Lets all get behinds this sports complex," he said.
Rosemary Beach's Dave Rauschkolb agrees. "I think a sports complex in South Walton would be a wonderful and needed addition to our community. I fully support this," he said.
"Excellent idea," said Art Hill. "I hope I am correct in perceiving overwhelming South Walton permanent resident support (in excess of 90 percent), and that local resident use would follow the proven example set by Destin's City Sports complex."
"It's certainly a million times better than a fishing pier in
As a public relations and marketing consultant, Michelle Uhlfelder has seen first hand what can happen when a brand has the necessary money to market, but fails to grow in the right directions in order to support the brand mission and infrastructure.
"I think our community is at such a crossroads," she said. "We should consider providing enhancements in order to draw more full-time residents here that in turn better support our off-season economy and grow our community in South Walton. I am thrilled that we might be able to fund this much needed sports complex from the bed tax funds. If this project materializes, we would be investing in a long-standing structure for our entire community to enjoy. From what I can see of the proposal thus far, I appreciate the out-of-the-box thinking that would benefit both the South Walton full-time residents and visitors."
But others were not shy in expressing opposition to such an idea.
"Let me preface by saying I coached little league baseball for umpteen years, refereed high school basketball for a dozen plus years and ejected people from gymnasiums from
Realtor Tom Watson agrees. "Good concept, but very poor use of county funds. With a land donation, it may make sense, (there is no indication the land will be donated) but the county needs to budget both operating loss and capital reserve accounts to accommodate the losses and ongoing maintenance these types of facilities historically create. Bay County already controls the sports tourism business just 10 or so miles down the road at Frank Brown Park, and South Walton's hospitality business is already performing at pre-recession levels, and caters to a tourism sector that is at a much different (higher) price point than the sports travel business that brings in families that primarily stay at affordable, limited service hotels. County funds would be much better used in expanding and improving the recreational facilities at
Dune Allen's Jim Radtke agreed. "Where are all these people going to stay and eat? We already seem to be at full capacity in South Walton. What kind of use is the one in
Realtor Robert Monk is also concerned about the possibility of taxes being raised to support the project. "The project sounds fine to me, unless it will raise our taxes again. If there is a single reason that would encourage me to leave
But many more had questions to which they would like to hear answers.

"I have mixed emotions about the county's purchase of Mr. Davis's land, and do feel there is a need on a much smaller scale for local children. However, my children lived and attended school in South Walton for years K-12-college and survived very well without a sports complex. But this is not an issue about our children or their needs; rather it is about attracting 'Sporting Tourism' 'Playcation' dollars to South Walton. We are a small viable beach community that has been and is still growing at rapid pace. We need to stop and think what the outcome and consequences will be — something that has not always been done. Is the goal to become a community attracting those who wish to participate in a 25,000-foot skate park, with four multi-purpose fields, six volley ball courts, with a focus on lacrosse and a 1.8 acre amphitheater in hopes of driving sporting tourism to Walton County while competing with our neighbors to the east and west, both who already have similar complexes each just 25 minutes away? I do believe more time needs to be addressed with the details of this project, the infrastructure, traffic problems that will occur, and the Walton County Sheriff's Department manpower that will be needed for events, and when not in use," said Seagrove's Susan Benton.
Realtor Bobby Johnson also agrees that the complex should be for the locals instead of tourists. "I really think it's long over due but I do not think it needs to be a focus to bring more people here. It needs to be for the people that are already here. We need this as a community. I would hope some of the focus could be to relieve some congestion on 30A by allowing this complex to be an arts venue," he suggested.
And others are concerned about the environmental impact.
"I would like to know more about the land being used as a wastewater spray field in the past and the environmental assessment that was done," said Seagrove's Sally Smith. "I'm assuming the intent of this complex is to attract more visitors to South Walton. I think we're getting close to maxed out with our infrastructure and ability to handle more visitors. I would like to see current visitor issues resolved before we add to them."
"Whoa, yet another land mine proposal," said Rosemary Beach's Claire Bannerman. "So many questions — what kind of parking? Landscaping? Will they do the clear cut thing again like Walmart, with all the cars parked right off the highway? Perhaps they can cleverly introduce a parking field behind the complex so we don't have yet another eyesore along the scenic highway, keeping our distinct and unusual beach charm and protecting the unique natural beauty of Highway 98. We need to have clarification on the environmental who said the 'land is good to go' and name names and tell us findings. We need park and playing fields for our basic community needs, a pool and tennis court for the public would be just downright awesome and fair. We need to better manage what we already have, maintain, preserve, protect and enhance for residents and the visiting public."
"Developed properly and marketed properly it could be a winner," said former TDC director Malcolm Patterson. But he offers a word of caution. "This business is not high-dollar business. I wonder if Walton has the number of mid- to- low-end properties to support this type of market.
Former sports broadcaster Dennis Dumler added, "I have always felt that a ball field should be built on any vacant piece of land ... but in reality this sounds like a great idea and one that could be of use for a lot of people in and around the South Walton area. The key thing is that it is run correctly and reflects the high caliber of life that we want to project to our visitors."
The sports complex's proponent, land-owner M.C. Davis, presented his proposal to the Walton County Board of

President Pelton honored for raising awareness of cultural heritage
Willamette President M. Lee Pelton recently received the Heritage Education Award from the Willamette Heritage Center at The Mill in honor of his and the university's work in raising awareness of the diversity of Salem's culture and history.
The honor is part of the 19th Annual Heritage Awards, which recognize leaders and organizations that have contributed significantly to the community's heritage. The Willamette Heritage Center home of the local Marion County Historical Society and Mission Mill Museum.
The award recognizes numerous accomplishments for Pelton at Willamette, including the initiation of Willamette's significant celebration of Martin Luther King Jr., support for the growth of the university's annual Social Powwow, forging a partnership with the Salem Multicultural Institute, and honoring World War II Japanese internees who were students of Willamette.
His other activities have included strengthening the capacity of the university's historical archives in Hatfield Library, and showing unwavering support for the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, which features a significant collection of Oregon Native American artifacts.
Pelton also partnered with other community leaders and employers to find ways to foster economic growth and vitality in downtown Salem; established four Centers for Excellence at Willamette that support research and outreach in cultural heritage-related issues; and supported the university's emphasis on service, with Willamette students volunteering more than 60,000 hours annually in the Salem community.

The female black widow spider (Figure 3) is slightly larger than the brown recluse and is glossy black in color. It is globular in shape and never hairy. It has eight eyes arranged in two rows. The overall length of the female (legs extended) is about 1 1/2 inches and the male is much smaller, about 1 inch long. The male usually has three light streaks on his abdomen but is recognizable by knob-like appendages on the front of the head. The female has slim, glossy black legs, but the best recognition mark is a reddish hourglass-shaped spot on the underside of her globular abdomen. The female spider is the important one to recognize since the bite of the female can potentially result in serious medical problems.
Life Cycle
The female black widow is not aggressive unless she is confined or disturbed. She is more likely to bite when she is guarding an egg sac. The egg sac is grayish and papery in appearance. The eggs require 8 to 30 days to mature. Each egg sac contains from 25 to 900 eggs (300 to 400 common), and a female may construct 4 to 9 egg cases each summer; however, large numbers of spiders are not normally found because the population is curtailed by the cannibalism of the young. Thus, only 1 to 12 young normally survive from each egg case. Growth requires 2 to 3 months, during which the male molts 3 to 6 times and females 6 to 8 times. The older females usually die in summer or autumn after laying their eggs.
The female black widow normally hangs 'belly' upward and rarely leaves her web. She is frequently found near houses (under eaves); around trash cans and dumps or ash piles; under boxes, low growing shrubs, crates, stones, and wood piles; and outdoor restrooms. Black widows are also found in rodent burrows, underground water meter casings, and in gas meter housings. Cold and drought seemingly drive black widows into buildings.
Effects of the Bite
The black widow is generally considered the most venomous spider native to North America. The bite of the female injects a neurotoxic venom, which commonly gives rise to very severe symptoms. The bite itself is usually similar to a pin prick, but excruciating pain can begin within a few minutes and spreads from the point of the bite to arms, legs, chest, back, and abdomen. Within a few hours symptoms such as chills, vomiting, difficulty in respiration, profuse perspiration, delirium, partial paralysis, violent abdominal cramps, pains, and spasms may result. The pain can be so severe as to lead to frequent diagnosis as appendicitis, colic, or food poisoning. Reports indicate that mortality from black widow bites results in 1% or less of the cases, with very young or very old individuals at the greatest risk. More typically, recovery is complete in 1 to 5 days. In case of a bite the victim should consult a physician immediately.

Morris Carrillo is committed to living a healthy lifestyle.
The Bryan man is participating in the H-E-B Slim Down Showdown, a 12 week weight loss competition between 25 Texans with the winner taking home $10,000.
The program isn't a miracle diet, it's a lifestyle change that consists of eating healthy and exercise.
"This is stuff they taught us in health class growing up, but I guess no one was paying attention or in the world we live in today, convenience is everything," said Carrillo.
Morris toured the Bryan H-E-B with his nutritionist to find out what food items he should avoid and which ones he should fill his basket with. Just two week into the program, he can already feel the difference.
"I'm not running for the coffee pot in the middle of the afternoon, I'm not begging for a nap when I get home from work. The energy is keeping me motivated," said Carrillo.
Morris will be going through the same journey I went through with the H-E-B Slim Down Showdown, a journey that helped me lose over 60 pounds.
"I check it out, read all about it, motivated myself to apply, got selected, and it's been a dream come true," said Carrillo.
But Morris will have one bigger hurdle to jump. The father of one with another on the way has diabetes.
"I had everything within my power to control it, to keep from getting it but I was choosing the convenient lifestyle and not necessarily the healthy one," said Carrillo.
Now he has a chance to change that and his goal to get rid of the disease that's been a real pain in the gut.
"I'm confident that by the end of this, I'll be able to ditch at least half the medicines and maybe one day I can get off the medicines all together," said Carrillo.
Part of the H-E-B Slim Down Showdown is getting support from the community and that's where you come in. We've linked Morris' H-E-B Slim Down Showdown blog below and for every comment he gets on the blog, he gets closer to winning the $10,000 prize.
