A Message from the Chair of the Board
The Year is Winding Down
November is the eleventh
month of the year in the Julian
and Gregorian Calendars and one
of four months with the length of
30 days. November was the ninth
month of the ancient Roman
calendar. November retained its
name (from the Latin novem
meaning “nine”).
Ron Grissom
Of course, November brings
Gulf Power
us Thanksgiving, which this year
falls on Thursday, the 27th. I hope all of you have a
wonderful day with family and friends. We have a lot
to be thankful for in America. Say a special prayer for
our military guys and gals all over the world standing
a post for us.
To be sure, the day after Thanksgiving is “Black
Friday”. I know I’ll be in my man cave watching football, but watch out for the Grissom girls at Walmart
and Target.
This year is also an election year and I hope you all
take the opportunity to exercise the privilege of voting.
It’s not a right - it’s a privilege. Let’s hope we can keep
it that way. So please go to the polls November 4th.
or vote early.
The Inaugural “Battle of the Best” is just around
the corner. I know the Chamber will once again score
a “touchdown.” Things are shaping up for this to be a
real event for the fall on the Emerald Coast. The date
is November 1st at the Okaloosa County Fairgrounds.
The gates open at 7:00 am and will go into the night
What’s INSIDE
with all manner of games, food and music. We’re still
accepting entries for the Heroes vs. Villains 5K, teams
for the Field Day Sports Competitions, and players for
the FIRST-EVER Disc Golf Tournament at the FWB
Golf Club. So call the Chamber if you’d like to enter.
Teams consist of 10 to 14 members, but 4 of the team
members have to be female. There’s also a 18 hole
Frisbee Disc Golf tournament across the street at the
FWN Golf Club. Later the Kings of Hollywood will
take the stage for tributes to Poison, Motley Crue and
Guns ‘n Roses. Melissa Matern from the Boardwalk
(Saltwater Restaurants’) will provide plenty of good
food and all the cold beverages you could ask for.
Thanks to our sponsors, White-Wilson Medical
Center, the Boardwalk, Cox, NW FL Daily News,
Dynamic Discs, Emerald Coast Social Sports, and
all the volunteers and staff for another great event
from your Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of
Commerce.
This year is also an election year
and I hope you all take the opportunity
to exercise the privilege of voting. It’s
not a right - it’s a privilege. Let’s hope
we can keep it that way. So please go
to the polls November 4th or vote
early.

President’s Message
Ah, the fun filled life of an elected official!
On Thursday, November 6, 2014
from 5:30-7:30 PM, at Fudpuckers on
Okaloosa Island, our Chamber is hosting
all of our local elected officials from the
Greater Fort Walton Beach Area. And
you can join us to thank them for all
they do for our community. Bring $5 for
Ted Corcoran
some great Fud’s food and some drink
President/CEO/IOM
specials.
If you have not had the pleasure to
serve your community in an elected capacity, might I recommend that you add this to your list right now. What an amazingly
different perspective you have of your own town and the people
in it. I had the pleasure of running for City of Destin Mayor in
2002 and served as City of Destin City Councilmember from
2004-2008. One term was enough—I can cross it off my list.
It is amazing how one minute you want to simply serve
your community and the next you are branded a politician with
some ulterior motive. The role of a locally elected municipal
leader is not one for the faint of heart—or for those who are
constantly looking for positive reinforcement. It is a thankless
job that for most is strictly volunteer, requires long hours of
studying EVERYTHING needed to run a city! Building codes,
noise ordinances, businesses hours, sign heights—trust me on
this—EVERYTHING. And no one is ever pleased with your
decisions.
And this is if you win the election—have you had the occasion to stand on the side of the road and wave to passing cars
lately? That’s another fun one.
But on the other hand, it is the most valuable lesson you
might ever experience. So do me a favor―the next time you see
someone who is devoting their time to serve YOUR community,
please thank them for their efforts.
And if you want to do that all at once to as many elected officials as we can gather, please join us on Thursday, November 6
at Fudpuckers on the Island.

Young Entrepreneurs Academy Accepting Applications for Next Session
“The Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!) is one of the best opportunities to watch
young entrepreneurs from our local high schools develop and create a business from the
ground up. Add in our local mentors from the business community, and you get to see what
makes a successful community.” says YEA instructor Barbara Britt, retired teacher from
Okaloosa County school system (37 years) and now a certified John C. Maxwell Motivational
Speaker/Business Trainer/Professional Coach.
The Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce, working with the Costa Leadership
Institute of Northwest Florida State College, is pleased to offer our second annual Young
Entrepreneurs Academy to Okaloosa County high school students, with the sponsorship of the
Doolittle Institute.
This unique program in entrepreneurial education will be offered to all Okaloosa County
High school students in grades 9 through 12. The Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!),
in its 2nd year in the Okaloosa County Schools and its 10th year nationwide, is an intensive
five-month program that teaches high school students how to start and run their own REAL
businesses and or nonprofit organization. Students are guided through each step of starting an
enterprise, from brainstorming the idea to pitching their business plan to investors. Classroom
learning is anchored by real-world applications, such as submitting DBAs to the County
Clerk’s Office, opening bank accounts, filing tax returns, and earning real profits at a trade
show.
“After last year’s very successful rollout of the program we are even more excited this
year because of the involvement with the Costa Leadership Institute of Northwest Florida
State College: “We are pleased to be participating in the YEA program this year and to offer
the youth of our community this educational opportunity. Entrepreneurship is a valuable tool
for students to learn and instill creativity and individualism,” stated Julie Cotton, Director,
Professional and Continuing Education at Northwest Florida State College. “The course is
offered in a learning environment that will cultivate their ideas and help them achieve success.
Also, this is a great opportunity for the community to support these students and we are happy
to be a part of that endeavor.”
The Young Entrepreneurs Academy is accepting student nominations for the Class of 2015
until November 7, 2014. There is no cost to apply, yet a tuition fee of $295 is applicable for
all accepted students. Scholarships are available.
“Most of the students who have participated in past academies have not had an idea for
a business or social plan before coming to the class—they just knew that they wanted to do
‘something’. The academy might also be very beneficial for a music or art student who has
career goals to market their talents down the road.’ Last year’s businesses created included:
pencil case invention (now trademarked!); videography; jewelry, car detailing; infant car
safety; beach concierge; cupcakes; tutorial services; and theatre training.
YEA! is sponsored by the Doolittle Institute, and by the Greater Fort Walton Beach
Chamber of Commerce and the Costa Leadership Institute of Northwest Florida State College,
with additional support from the Okaloosa County School District and the Destin Area
Chamber of Commerce.
Classes will be held on the Northwest Florida State College Niceville campus every
Monday from 4:30 to 7:30pm, beginning January, 2015 and ending in May 2015. Students
may apply by contacting Kate Scanlan at the Costa Leadership Institute 850-729-6880 www.
yeaec.com [email protected] . Sponsors and volunteers are also needed as part of the Academy
criteria.
More information can be found on the FWB Chamber’s web site at www.fwbchamber.com.
About YEA!
The Young Entrepreneurs Academy, or YEA!™, is a groundbreaking educational
program that takes students in grades six through twelve through the process of starting
and running real businesses over the course of a full academic year. Students work in close
cooperation with local leaders of industry, community members, and educators to develop
ideas and objectives, write business plans, pitch potential investors, obtain funding, register
with governmental agencies, develop their brand identity and much more! By the end of the
class, students own and operate fully functioning businesses that can be carried on after
graduation. Students learn to make a job--not just take a job! YEA!’s™ direct mission is to
help students embrace their passion, energy, creativity and talents, launch a venture, and
view entrepreneurship as synonymous with success and freedom. In 2008, YEA!™ “spunoff” from the University of Rochester, where it was formed in 2004 with support from the
Kauffman Foundation, to create its own not-for-profit corporation, YEA! Inc., which is
currently launching sites in colleges, universities and high schools across the country to
provide comprehensive, exciting entrepreneurship education, leadership development and
innovation training to youth between the ages of 11 and 18 years old in the United States
thereby making the program available to students at a variety of geographical regions, and
providing them with skills they need to succeed in the 21st Century. For more information

needs and I really hope there is an organization like this to
help them in the future,” said Kyle.
He decided to plan, organize, promote, and execute
a non-motorized poker run along the sound behind his
neighborhood. He sought help from his parents, grandparents and the Parish Point Kayak club and then got to
work seeking sponsors, participants, and extra donations
from those who could not participate. His goal, besides
getting a passing grade, was to be able to donate $250 to
Horizons. He exceeded his goal, and showed up on the
presentation day with a check for $525.
“I am floored by this young man’s efforts” said Mike
Anderson, Mayor of Fort Walton Beach. “It’s bright and
compassionate youth like Kyle who continue to inspire
me and remind me why Fort Walton Beach was named as
one of the happiest places to live.”
Anderson was on hand for the check presentation,
along with Horizons Board member and local attorney
Lisa Jo Spencer, and members of Kyle’s family.
Horizons is an affiliated chapter of The Arc, a nonprofit organization that provides programs and services
for people with developmental and intellectual disabilities
in Okaloosa, Walton and South Santa Rosa Counties.
Complete programs and services can be found at www.

golfers from all around the panhandle came to enjoy the
awesome event. The day began with a barbeque lunch
followed by the Florida Scramble shot-gun start. There

More Money Saved!
The Okaloosa County
Tax Collector’s Office
saved county motorists
over $258,000 when they
removed the motor vehicle registration’s 2-year
renewal option earlier this
year.
On April 4, 2014,
Governor Rick Scott signed a bill that would lower the
cost of most vehicle registrations by up to $25.00 per
year. While this was great news, it would not go into
effect until September 1st. This prompted Okaloosa
County Tax Collector Ben Anderson to be the first Tax
Collector to remove the biennial (2-year Renewal) option
from vehicle renewals through August in an effort to
prevent motorists from electing the 2nd year option at the
higher rate. During those months over 11,500 registrations, which historically would have been renewed for 2
years, were saved the extra expense for the second year
registration.
Anderson says, “In Okaloosa County last year, 23,400
vehicles had biennial registrations. With the new, lower
rate, there is a tangible savings, so we have reinstated the
2-year renewal option. Now I am encouraging all motorists to take advantage of the biennial option. If owners
choose to register their vehicle(s) for two years they will
certainly save time and money.” Anderson says, “It is our
responsibility to be good stewards with resources and
information. This is just another example of your Tax
Collector’s Office working hard to save you money.”

Julia Child Cooking Partner Joins
Wind Creek Hospitality Culinary Team
Wind Creek
Hospitality
(WCH)
welcomes Chef Peter
D’Andrea as the
new Corporate
Executive Chef.
Chef Peter brings
over 30 years of
experience in food and beverage to Alabama. One of
his most exciting cooking experiences was cooking with
renowned chef Julia Child at her 80th birthday party.
D’Andrea’s culinary journey began as an Italian kid in
the Bronx, NY where he says “to us food was love.” The
journey has taken him to places like Piemonte, Italy and
the aircraft carrier, USS Abraham Lincoln with stops all
across the USA including five years at Gaylord Opryland
Resort and Convention Center. He says “one of his greatest honors” is receiving three James Beard invitations to
cook at the townhouse in New York City.
D’Andrea will be responsible for the creation and
development of the culinary brand as well as the quality
of food and beverages offered to WCH guests at Wind
Creek Casino & Hotel Atmore, Wind Creek Casino &
Hotel Wetumpka and Creek Casino Montgomery. He will
continue the WCH tradition of purchasing local ingredients for recipes as often as possible.
D’Andrea will work with other culinary team members to develop menus and offerings that provide WCH
“guests an escape from their ordinary world and treat
them to bites of culinary fantasy that make them want
to return to our properties”. Peter will also mentor and
motivate the entire culinary team to provide this same
enthusiasm, excitement, and culinary experience to all
Wind Creek Hospitality guests.
Chef D’Andrea says he is “looking forward to cooking
for guests as well as local residents and creating signature
dishes in all the Wind Creek restaurants.”

It Pays To Be A Chamber Member !!!
To assist area Chamber members with the growing cost of insurance, the Fort
Walton Beach Area Chamber of Commerce has joined 6 other Northwest Florida
Chambers in offering a Workers’ Compensation program to eligible Chamber
members. By partnering with these other Chambers, our local Chamber offers
the buying power of a larger organization and a quality Workers’ Compensation
insurance program.
Workers’ Compensation rates and benefits are determined by the State and are
the same with all WC carriers. The premiums are based on job classification and
estimated payroll. This Chamber program is provided by McMahon & Hadder
Insurance through OptaComp.
The premiums and claims for this Chamber program will be combined to
determine qualification for dividend, which is a return of premiums. Dividends are
declared based on the overall profit of the participating members and will be paid
as a percentage of the individual member’s audited premium. This dividend can
be as much as 24.8% of the individual participating member’s annual WC premium.
There are also certain credits and individual rating experience modifications ratings
that may apply.
This year’s dividends for the participating Fort Walton Beach Chamber of
Commerce businesses total $15,454.
For more information about how your business can participate in this valuable
program please contact Mike Jimmerson, McMahon & Hadder Insurance, Inc at
850-650-7404 or [email protected].

Our members are going to some pretty glamorous places these days – and they’re
taking some good reading material right along with them.
If you choose to take your Coastlines with you on a trip, take a photo and share it
with us. Send it to [email protected].
Dr.
Scott Smith
(HealthSource
Chiropractic FWB
North) and
his wife
Whitney
Smith (Fleet
& Smith,
PA) took a
fabulous
tour of Italy
– where
they thought of their Chamber friends as they visited the Tunnel of Love in Capri. The
romantic legend says that if you kiss under the tunnel, you’ll have many years of love
ahead of you. Sounds just about right for newlyweds!
Nick Chubb (Cabinets RRR
Us) took his digital version
of Coastlines “all around the
world” at Epcot when he and
Janet were there for Epcot’s
Food and Wine Festival.
The Governor Stone spent 2
months in D’Iberville, Mississippi this
summer. That is the IP Casino across
the water. She then paused at the
Landing overnight September 1st and
was greeted by locals before continuing on to Panama City. As you can
see from the Coastlines at the bottom
of the photo, the crew took some time
to catch up on news back home.
