Skipper Denies Sole Ownership Of Reef Rubble
Skipper Olin Marler denies sole responsibility for reef rubble near Highway 98 in Okaloosa County. He says most items were dumped by others and only 30 to 55 gallon drums are his. The county ordered cleanup, with a full-enforcement stance, but a new deadline remains unclear as officials coordinate with zoning and the state's attorney. Marler plans to begin clearing after the Destin Fishing Rodeo ends October 31 and warns he will remove what he can while posted no dumping and no trespassing signs stay in place.

Fears voiced at Walton barrier island meeting over state order
South Walton residents voiced concerns at a town meeting as DCA officials explained Executive Order 81-105. Barbara Henderson said funding for hospitals fire services schools and community programs would not be cut though some facilities like sewage water and highways could be affected on a case by case basis. The designation covers Okaloosa and Walton Counties from the Destin Bridge to State Road 395. NFCRPMC plans may influence but not override the order once approved by the Governor and Cabinet. Representatives hinted at possible legal action by Walton 2000 and the Florida Home Builders Association with about half the attendees prepared to testify in court.
