In case you missed it, yes, thatwas a stop sign, or two or threestop signs, depending on whereyou live in Holley by the Sea.

As one caller to Navarre Press,and a HBTS resident, said, “Hol-ley by the Sea comes to a stop.”

Santa Rosa County commis-sioners approved installing addi-tional traffic-calming measures,known on the street as stop signs,during a Jan. 24 commission meet-ing.

The request for traffic-calmingmeasures first came up during anOct. 8 commission meeting whenseveral HBTS members, includ-ing HBTS board president PetePeterzen, addressed the com-missioners.

“There are 4,700 tax-payinglots; 3,000 to 4,000 voters; and7,000 to 9,000 residents. Theincreasing population is causingincreasing traffic and threats tosafety in our residential commu-nity,” said Peterzen at the Oct. 9commission meeting.

That set in motion a series of

actions that resulted in an increasedpresence of county deputies andstop signs being installed through-out HBTS.

Stephen Furman, assistant pub-lic works director, and his staffreviewed HBTS and drafted a pro-posal for where stop signs couldbe placed to effectively slow driv-ers down.

“We had a list of roads wherespeeding was a problem. Welooked at them and identifiedexisting stop signs… we presenteda list of recommendations toHBTS,” said Furman.

A handful of residents metduring a town hall meeting inJanuary at the HBTS recreationcenter and identified furtherlocations to install stop signsand presented that list to Fur-man.

“We said we won’t offer objec-tions… it was a Board of Com-mission decision,” said Furman.

All the stop signs have beeninstalled along with a warninglight informing all drivers of theneed to stop.


During the Feb. 12 Hol-ley by the Sea Board ofDirectors meeting, the direc-tors authorized the gener-al manager to temporarilysuspend HBTS facility usagewith the concurrence of atleast one board member.

Pete Peterzen, HBTSboard president, told thosepresent that the issue cameabout as a result of recentinstances.

“(This) arises last fallwhen (we) had a member(who) was abusing staff…physically and verbally, aswell as not following therules,” said Peterzen.

In that case, there wasan immediate threat to staffand members.

Another recent instanceinvolved a parent whoallowed a child to urinateand defecate throughoutthe facility. Board membersmet with legal counsel toseek guidance on the bestway to handle these typesof occurrences. Legaladvised board membersthe general manager couldbe given authority to tem-porarily suspend facilityusage for the safety, wel-fare and protection of themembers or facility pend-ing a full board vote.

One HBTS memberpresent questioned

the recommendation. “You cannot impose sus-

pension on somebodywithout a 14-day notice,”the member said. Themember also expressedconcern that the policycould be abused.

“I’m the person enforc-ing it and I won’t abuse it,”said Jennie Barrett, HBTSgeneral manager.

The member also askedwho would have theauthority to temporarilysuspend facility usageshould the general man-ager not be present.

Barrett replied it wouldbe the person who is filling

Laurie Gallup, HBTSfishing club member, hasstepped up to be theHBTS Fishing Club relayteam captain.

“My sister is a cancersurvivor. I have friendswho are survivors and

friends that are no longerhere,” said Gallup on whyshe volunteered to be theteam leader. “Trying tobeat cancer is what I’d liketo be involved in.”

Billy Neal, HBTS Fish-ing Club president, was

approached about theclub forming a team. Heput a call out for a teamcaptain and Gallup agreedto fill the position.

“The fishing club want-ed to have a team becausewe have a lot of survivorsand people affected bycancer,” said Gallup. “Alot of people wanted tobe involved but no onewanted to head it up – soI did.”

The team captainattends meetings, attendsthe Relay for Life event,recruits team membersand most importantly,raises money for the fightagainst cancer.

Navarre Relay for Lifewill be held April 19 atNavarre High School. Sofar there are 42 teams and293 participants who have

Furman said his office hasreceived several calls fromresidents that are unhappywith the signs.

“We explained the processto them (of how the stopsigns came to be),” said Fur-man. “The process works inreverse (too.) If enough peo-ple don’t want them, theycan go before the (county)commission and requestthey take them down.”

The areas where the newstops signs are located are:

At first glance, it wouldbe easy to overlook Aman-da Friar given she standsonly 4 feet, 7½ inch-es tall, but thatwould be a mistake.

Amanda repre-sented Navarre HighSchool in a mightyway, taking first placein the individualweightlifting statechampionship heldin Kissimmee on Feb. 9. Hercombined total of 305pounds lifted helped Navarrewin its first team champi-onship – of any kind.

“Basically, she sets goalsfor herself in a lot of differ-ent things… and she doeswhatever it takes to accom-plish those goals,” saidAngela Friar, Amanda’smom.

Tom Friar, her dad,described Amanda as deter-mined, with her mom sup-porting the description.

Weightlifting wasn’t firston her list of goals when sheentered high school. At thetime, she merely wanted toget accepted on the cheer-leading team.

“When she was younger,in middle school… shewould stay in the yard forhours having me video herto see where she needed toimprove to ensure she goton the high school (cheer-leading) team… hours andhours, over and over,” saidAngela.

Weightlifting was thebyproduct of cheerleading.

“The coach recruited me,”said Amanda. “It’s manda-tory for varsity cheerlead-ing.”

However, she soon dis-covered she enjoyedweightlifting and set a seriesof goals for herself.

“I stuck with it because Ifound out I was good at it.I like the feeling of workinghard,” said Amanda. Herfreshman year, her firstbench-press max was 95pounds; her sophomore yearshe benched 130 at state

and her junior year sheplaced second in state,benching 150 pounds.

Amanda weighed in at108.2 pounds at the statechampionship held Feb. 9,

and benched 160pounds, and clean-and-jerked 145pounds.

Tom swelledwith pride themoment he knewshe placed first indi-vidually and thenwhen he learned

the team placed first.“I’ve been gone for

an awful lot of thingsin Amanda’s life,so I’m glad Iwas there atstate to see herwin.” Thomassaid. “It was aheck of a retire-ment present tosee that. My last dayof work was Feb. 8; Ichanged out of my uni-form and drove down(to Kissimmee) and sawher win the very next day.It was the best retirementpresent I could’vereceived.”

Angela said that withher husband goneoften on Air Forceassignments, shetried to instill inAmanda and heroldest daughter that life goeson and they should alwaystry to do and be their best.

“I tried to teach them, nomatter who they are, if theywant to do something,there’s nothing they can’tdo… size and gender don’tmatter. If you want to do it,go for the stars… be inde-pendent and go for yourdreams,” said Angela. “Andshe has and I hope it con-tinues.”

While she likes weightlift-ing, Amanda’s dream is toopen her own coffee andcupcake store.

“I want to go to collegeand major in radiology andminor in culinary arts,” saidAmanda. “(I) want to do radi-ology as a career, but myultimate dream is to open

my own bakery.” Amanda took up baking

two years ago; she likes tocook but enjoys baking more.

“My great-grandmabaked cakes for a living. Iguess I got it from her,” saidAmanda.

“She wants to open a lit-tle coffee and cupcake shopone day and it would notsurprise me in the least tosee her running her ownshop one day,” said Angela.

It is evident that Tom andAngela are proud of theirdaughter, and Tom cautionsthat to overlook her becauseof her size would be a mis-take.

“People will overlook herand take her for granted

when there’s so much moreto her than that,” he said.Angela echoed his senti-ments when she said “Shedoesn’t sell herself short.She doesn’t let anythingstand in her way.”

As for Amanda, she hastaken her parents lessonsof hard work and dedica-tion to heart, exemplifyingthose traits in her schoolwork, her volunteer effortsand her overall work ethic.

Amanda’s words of wis-dom to her peers and allothers echo those lessons:“Dedicate yourself… andyou can get through it.”

She stands as proof of theold adage that big things docome in small packages.

In case you missed it February 7 & 14 in Navarre Press

By Yvonne C. HarperNavarre Press

At about 2 p.m. on Feb. 6,a Santa Rosa County schoolbus was rear-ended at Edge-wood Drive and Federal Streetin Holley by the Sea.

The bus, coming fromWoodlawn Beach MiddleSchool, was carrying 34 stu-dents when Don Loose, 80,fell asleep and rear-endedthe stopped bus. The frontend of his Buick LaCrosseended up lodged under therear end of the bus.

“I just fell asleep,” Loosesaid. He stated that he was-n’t on any medication thatcauses him to be drowsy.

According to the FloridaHighway Patrol report, Loosefell asleep at the wheel andawoke upon impact.

Aaron Hall, 12, was sittingthree seats from the backwhen he felt the car hit thebus.

“Our bus was completelystopped. At first we thoughtthe bus driver lost controlbecause the bus jerked for-ward real fast,” said Hall.

“When we looked back, wesaw the dude and he was try-ing to get out. It felt like a rollercoaster when it jerks forwardto take off.”

Amanda Teichner, 13, wassitting in the front when shesaid the bus suddenly jerkedforward. “I felt a forward,upward push motion. Kids

started screaming, ‘Some-body hit us.’”

Teichner added that shewalked to the back of the busto see what had happened.

“I saw the cracked wind-shield and my second thoughtwas ‘Is the driver okay?’”

Loose was uninjured andtold the children as they gotoff the bus that he was sor-ry.

A second bus was dis-patched to the area. Someof the children were releasedto their parents and theremaining students weretransported home via thesecond bus.

Holley Navarre FireDepartment Battalion ChiefHowie Rounsaville said hismen released the air fromthe Buick’s front tires to low-er the car. The bus was thenable to pull forward off thecar.

Damage to the car is esti-mated to be $10,000 and$2,000 to the bus.

Neither Loose nor the chil-dren were injured in the acci-dent. Loose was cited for care-less driving.

A rollover accident involv-ing an 18-year-old driverresulted in an overturnedFord Explorer and a damagedbrick mail box in Holley bythe Sea.

At 6 p.m. on Jan. 30, MiguelVillanueva, 18, was drivingnorth on Coral Street whenhe approached the three-waystop sign at Manatee Street.

According to the FloridaHighway Patrol report, Vil-lanueva stopped at the inter-section and turned left whenhe lost control of the vehicle.

“(The) driver lost controlof the vehicle causing the reartires to lose traction with thewet roadway,” read the report.

The vehicle rotated in acounter-clockwise direction;Villanueva over corrected tothe right causing the vehicleto spin in a clockwise direc-tion and off the roadwaywhere he struck a brick mail-box at 7596 Manatee St.

The vehicle overturned andcame to a stop with the frontfacing north.

Battalion Chief Howie

Rounsaville, Holley-NavarreFire District, said the Holley-Navarre units were dispatchedto a vehicle rollover andadvised while in route thatthere was one patient. WhenRounsaville arrived on scene,he found Villanueva lying inthe grass in front of the home.

Villanueva was taken byEMS to trauma alert at Bap-tist Hospital in Pensacola.

Amanda Harden, the own-er of 7596 Manatee St., said“people need to start realiz-ing that our neighborhoodhas children in it and you can’tfly through the neighbor-hood without stopping.” Sheadded that she doesn’t allowher three children, ages 6, 3,and 20 months, to play in thefront yard because of the waydrivers speed by her home.

Raymond Steidele, wholives at 7578 Manatee St., saidhe had just called the sher-iff’s office on Tuesday to reg-ister a complaint about driv-ers going too fast on Mana-tee and Coral.

“We had an officer heretoday (Wednesday),” said Stei-dele. “The police werepatrolling regularly and peo-

ple slowed down. Now theydon’t and people drive 60-70miles per hour.”

The worst time for speed-ers, according to Steidele andHardin, is late at night.

“They race up and downthe street (at night),” saidHardin.

During an Oct. 8, 2012,meeting, county commis-sioners gave Sheriff WendellHall authority to reinstate thedepartment’s dedicated traf-

fic unit after HBTS residentsvoiced their complaints andfears about people driving athigh speeds through the sub-division. Hall also haddeputies increase their pres-ence in HBTS, which accord-ing to Steidele calmed thingsdown. Steidele said he does-n’t see deputies as much any-more and has seen the num-ber of cars speeding increase.

Hall said he ordered twocars for the traffic unit which

should be delivered soon,however he is still having hisdeputies patrol HBTS on anovertime basis.

Commissioners alsoinstructed the Roads andBridges Department to studyfurther traffic-calming meas-ures within the subdivision,to include installing addi-tional stop signs.

“A lot of good that one did,”Steidele said, referring to thethree-way stop sign Villanueva

had just driven through. After the accident, Hardin

told her neighbor in jest shewould put up a sign that reads,“If you don’t slow down, I’mputting in a bigger mailbox.”

According to County Ordi-nance 2006-3, on all rights-of-way and roads designat-ed with a speed limit of 30miles per hour or less, resi-dents can construct a brickmail box, but they must beset back two-and-a-half feetfrom the roadway surface.The speed limit on Manateeis 25 miles per hour.

For rights-of-way with aspeed limit greater than 30miles per hour, mailboxesmust be constructed six feetfrom the road surface andmust be built with woodposts.

As for Villanueva, Hardinsaid his father brought himby her home after he was dis-charged from the hospitaland Villanueva apologizedfor the damage done to hermailbox.

“I’m glad he’s OK and allright,” Hardin said.

Villanueva was cited forcareless driving.

During a Feb. 12 Holley bythe Sea board of directors meet-ing, the following variancerequests were discussed:

Architectural Variances■ 2620 Masters Boule-

vard: owner was requestingto build a 953-square footgarage. The ArchitecturalControl Committee rec-ommended the board ofdirectors deny the requestbecause the extension wouldstart at the end of the drive-way and extend to the rearof the back screened enclo-sure, facing the golf course.The ACC thought the addi-tion did not meet the stan-dard set forth in the gener-al plan for Hidden CreekEstates and would obstructthe neighbor’s view of thegolf course. The ACC sug-gested that if approved, thevalue of the view for theneighbors is gone and thevalue of the lot is reduced.

Brooke Goldberg, boardof director internal vice-pres-ident, said the issue for her,after speaking with the own-er, is about the view. Shecommended the owners fortrying to keep the extensionwithin Hidden Creek Estatesstandards regarding the pitch,height, color, etc., but for herthe view is the major issue.“That’s the turning point,”Goldberg said.

The directors voted unan-imously to uphold the ACCrecommendation to disap-prove the extension.

■ 7254 Siesta Street: own-er was requesting a 25-footsetback. The HBTS board ofdirectors tabled the requestbecause the ACC did nothave a quorum when it vot-ed on the issue prior to itcoming before the board.

■ 2544 Houston Circle:

The ACC requested theowner be referred to legal.After the discussion onwhether there was a quo-rum at the last ACC meet-ing, Goldberg said, “I don’tknow why we wouldn’t beable to take action on this…This is not architectural; thisis a violation issue, so thatcan be done without (the)architectural committee. Sowe can go ahead and voteto send Houston to legal.”Jean Tashlik, HBTS board ofdirectors’ treasurer, made amotion to refer HoustonCircle to legal and Goldbergseconded the motion. It wasapproved 4-1 with PatTraynor, board of director’sexternal vice-president, vot-ing no.

Assessment Variances■ 2041 Dudley Court:

Owners are three years inarrears in assessments andrequested to pay $50 amonth until the balance of$1375.79 is paid in full. Own-ers further requested thatduring the repayment, inter-est on the late balance bewaived and no lien be placedon the home. Recreationalfacility usage was suspend-ed last year. The request wasunanimously approved.

■ 6728 Liberty Street:Individual made a privatemortgage to another per-son to purchase the Liber-ty Street home who laterdefaulted on the loan. Thehome was Quit Claim deed-ed to the lender, who thendiscovered four years ofassessments had not beenpaid. The owner requestedthe late fees and interestsbe waived for the four yearsof late assessments andagreed to pay the past dueassessments immediatelyupon the board of directors’decision. The BOD unani-mously approved the request.

Usage Variances■ 2550 Pepper Street:

HBTS resident requested ausage variance. The residentdivorced her spouse and theex-husband was ordered torefinance the home, andremove her name from thedeed. The ex-husband hasnot done as ordered, andassessments have not beenpaid, leading to a suspen-sion of facility usage. Theresident now resides inanother HBTS home that iscurrent on assessments. Shewas requesting a varianceto be added to the accountof the home she now residesin. The board of directorsunanimously denied therequest because if the assess-ments had been paid on herformer home, she would stillhave usage.

■ 6949 Liberty Street:owner of three-bedroomwith four users on accountrequested his fiancé and hertwo children be added onthe account to use the facil-ities. General Manager Jen-nie Barrett told the boardmembers the owner is along-time user of the facil-ities and this is an extremehardship case due to med-ical issues. “The variance isfor his fiancé who lives withhim and cares for him andher children,” said Barrett.

Traynor said, “The bottomline is this… this person hasa legitimate thing, not that’she’s (not) married… he’sgot cancer and he’s got chil-dren, do we have a heart ornot? I motion to approve.”The motion to add threeusers to the account, mak-ing the total users for a three-bedroom home seven wasapproved 4-1. Pete Peterzen,BOD president, voted againstthe request.

■ 1939 Anchor Drive:owner of three-bedroomhome with one user on

account and assessments paidin full requested to add hisfiancé to the account. Gold-berg made a motion toapprove. Traynor called pointof order and said, “It’s againstthe covenants to allow peo-ple that are not married touse the facilities.”

Peterzen replied that it’s ade facto hardship when ahomeowner doesn’t have thesame rights as a renter. Therequest was approved 4-1with Traynor voting againstthe request.

■ 6494 Bellingham Drive:owner of three-bedroomhome with two users onaccount requested to add 28-year-old daughter who residesin the home and is attendingcollege. Traynor remarked itwas against the covenant andTashlik replied, “These are notpeople living together whoare not married.” Pat answered,“… but over the age limit.”The request was approved 4-1 with Traynor voting no.

Locking your vehicle takesjust a second. A burglar needsjust 20 seconds to take every-thing inside the vehicle.

Deputy Rich Aloy, SantaRosa County Sheriff’s Officepublic information officer, saidthere have been more than 40

vehicle burglaries in the southend of the county recently.

In response, the Sheriff’sOffice has started a “Lock It orLose It” campaign to bringawareness to the simple act oflocking a vehicle.

“It’s slightly obvious andmaybe even insulting, butbecause of its simplicity, I can’tstress those three words enough:

lock your car,” Aloy said. “That’sexactly what they’re targeting,unlocked vehicles. If it’s locked,good; if not, it takes 20 secondsto take your stuff.”

Aloy said two suspects havebeen apprehended that arepart of a vehicle burglary ringin the county.

He estimated that county-wide more than 50 cars have

been burglarized and “each carbroken into was unlocked.”

Aloy explained the burglarsare targeting anything of sim-ple value: GPS navigation sys-tems, iPads, iPods, purses, orthe coins left in the ashtray.

“This is a crime of opportu-nity,” said Aloy. “A, if the car isunlocked, B, anything in it willget taken.”

HBTSNEWSYARD OF THE MONTH

March 2013

Libby Messinger is fromBermuda and her husband,Ray, is a Naval AcademyClass of 1954 graduate. Theymet when Ray visitedBermuda on a Christmasholiday to the island. Theymarried when he graduat-ed and 52 years later theymade their way to Navarrefrom Monterey, Calif.

“One son was here andhis wife is from the area,”said Libby. “We came out tovisit and they said ‘sell thehouse and move to Flori-da.’”

Libby said they wentback to Monterey and puttheir 2.5-story house onthe market. The Messingersbought the lot on 7513Treasure Street just beforeHurricane Ivan struck thecoast.

“They did the founda-tion when Ivan hit. It didtake a lot longer to finishthe place,” said Libby. Theychose Holley by the Seabecause they liked the lotsizes and the Club House,and her son also lives inthe subdivision, and herdaughter in Navarre. InSeptember 2005, theymoved into their home.

Upon moving in, Libbysaid the yard was basic andshe had help with it in thebeginning.

“The first year I plantedthings and they died,” saidLibby with a laugh. “We did-

n’t have a yard in Monterey.I love flowers and I workedwith a lady from GardenGate. I asked her about whatto plant and she helped mein the beginning with thefront yard.”

Libby explained that theiryard has changed quite a bitsince the beginning whenthey did just the “basic stuff.”Over the years, they put inplants that would stay greenand bloom.

In lieu of a fence, Libbyplanted a natural borderbecause she said she does-n’t like to be closed in. Sheplanted Bottle Brush treesand an oak tree that havegrown to maturity.

“It gives us privacy butwe’re not shut in,” sheexplained.

Ray installed a small whitepicket fence in the back yardbut that is the only fenceone will see as they drive by

the home. One will have tolook closely to see it though,because the trees that bor-der the road are mature andfull.

Libby explained that theopenness of the yard allowsher to meet many of herneighbors when they areout walking.

“That’s how we met Sher-ry. We saw them walking byand started talking to them.It’s how we’ve met a lot ofpeople,” said Libby.

Sherry Russo, February’syard-of-the-month winner,is the one who selected theMessinger’s yard for March.

Libby has also created acolorful arrangement ofplants with Confederate Jas-mine, Holley trees, camel-lia bushes, cyclamen andwisteria that yield colorfulblooms in the spring.

“Little by little, (we) addedplanters around the house,

(and) new borders. (We) triedto make it more low-key. Itwas fun in the beginningwith flowers, but now I pre-fer low maintenance,” saidLibby.

Plants such as double-knockout roses, plumbagos,gardenias, bush daisies andazalea trees provide color-ful arrangements with onlyminimum maintenance inthe back yard.

Libby’s passion for gar-dening and being outsidecame about during her child-hood years in Bermuda. Shehas extended her love of theoutdoors and gardeningbeyond her yard. She is a

member of the Navarre Gar-den Club and a member ofthe Friends of NavarreLibrary; she helps to tendthe landscape at the libraryas needed.

Libby recommends visit-ing local nurseries to learnwhat thrives in the local areaand recommends using thecounty extension office togain knowledge about soiland local plants.

“The extension office isvery helpful with advice forsoil and things you need toknow,” she said.

Their natural yard yieldsmore than just colorfulblooms. It also attracts birds

“No palms trees,” she saidwith a smile. “I’m not a palmtree person.”

Experts discuss the future of Florida’sgroundwater and landscape irrigation

Some of the top minds inthe landscape, water man-agement and irrigation fieldsgathered recently inNiceville for the seventhannual water summit to dis-cuss challenges and solu-tions for managing Florida’smost precious naturalresource, groundwater. SkipOrth, owner of Father andSon Landscape, participatedin the summit and cameaway with the most currentassessment of Florida’swater supply – as it relates tothe lawn industry.

“What we know for sure isthat we have to make everyeffort now to conserve thisprecious resource. Accessiblegroundwater not only pro-vides the ability to maintainlush, green landscapes, but italso is the foundation of amulti-billion dollar greenindustry,” Skip said.

Coastal Santa RosaCounty is one of the areasthat has been deemed bythe Northwest FloridaWater Management Dis-trict as critical. One of theconcerns is saltwater intru-sion into the groundwater.As it relates to landscapingand irrigation, this mostcommonly occurs wherethe well is very close to thebay, sound or the gulf. Oth-er concerns are with theoverall availability of water.

Skip has experienced first-hand the effects of ground-water scarcity.

“In the last decade that Ihave been servicing lawnshere in Navarre, we havehad several years of below-average rainfall. Those dryyears caused several of ourcustomers’ wells to stop pro-ducing and required us toarrange deeper wells to bedug for them.”

According to Lauren Con-nell, a hydrogeologist withthe Northwest Florida WaterManagement District, thedepth of shallow irrigationwells is above a layer of claythat covers the aquifer.Therefore these wells aredependant upon adequaterainfall for their perform-ance.

“When an irrigation wellis too shallow, these aresome of the symptoms. The

system looses pressure. Ittakes a long time for water tostart flowing once the pumpis turned on. The systemruns great for one or twozones and then looses pres-sure. The water pressuresurges up and down thewhole time the pump is on.All these are signs of a wellthat is too shallow,” Skipexplained.

One of the ways to con-serve our valuable ground-water is to upgrade your

existing irrigation systemwith new technology thatwill enable the system to bemore efficient. Dr. KatiMigliaccio with the Universi-ty of Florida TropicalResearch and EducationCenter discussed researchshe and her colleagues aredoing by retrofitting oldinefficient systems with newmore-efficient componentsand measuring the volumeof water used before andafter the modifications. Hav-

ing a digital, programmabletimer coupled with a mois-ture sensing device createdsignificant water savings.Skip confirms that theseupgrades are definitely ben-eficial and has provided sev-eral of his Navarre cus-tomers with them.

Michael Dukes, Ph.D. Irri-gation Specialist, Universityof Florida, presented fascinat-ing research about irrigationrequirements based on thetime of year. According to his

data, the highest need for irri-gation is not the middle ofthe summer as one mightthink but in spring and fallwhen weather patterns tendto be dry and supplementalwater is needed. Dr. Dukes’presentation also includedinformation on the best useof water in landscaped areas.Two of the points he broughtout was that ornamentalplants such as trees andshrubs need far less waterthan turf grass does to stayhealthy. Also, the most effi-cient way to distribute waterto ornamental plants isthrough drip componentsrather than broadcasting itover the top of the plants.

Skip Orth, owner of Fatherand Son Landscape, is a turfand irrigation expert righthere in Navarre who canassist you if you are havingtrouble keeping a healthylawn. He provides free lawnconsultations and can bereached by email at www.fatherandsonlandscape.com.
