Walton Habitat

 

Are you looking to give someone in need a special gift. How about helping a family get into a new home? The Walton Habitat For Humanity says, according to Bill Rennicke, they have met their deadline of getting 100% of the sheetrock up so the finishers can work their magic.  There is a workday today.

 

Here is the schedule through the remainder of November. 

 

November 22 - Need 20+ volunteers. We will hang the interior doors, install molding, finish molding on porch and fully caulk all molding in the house. I would like to have as close to 100% of the molding and caulking completed before we paint. We also need to clean the floor and windows so the sheetrock dust does not get in the paint. We also need to paint the exterior doors and porch columns.

November 24 - David Petrasek and a small crew will spray paint the house and semi gloss on the interior doors.

November 25 - If we can find 3 or 4 volunteers we will hang the interior doors and paint the molding.

November 29 - Need 15+ Volunteers. Install kitchen and bathroom cabinets, closet shelving, towel racks and other interior fixtures. Prep the house for final electrical, plumbing, HVAC and other contractor work.

 

Habitat says the Hager's deeply appreciate all that has been done for them and we are making good progress to getting them into the house by Christmas.

Walton Tax Collector RATE

 

Walton County Tax Collector Rhonda Skipper is providing an opportunity for Walton County property owners to pay their taxes without making the trip to the Tax Collector’s Office, by taking the tax office to them. During November and the first week of December, the Walton County Tax Collector’s Office will be on location at various community sites to collect tax payments.

 

This onsite tax collection is known as the R.A.T.E. program or Remote, Area, Tax, Express. The purpose of the program is to make paying taxes more convenient for residents living in an area of the county where a central tax office is not located.

 

A representative from the Tax Collector’s Office will be onsite to receive tax payments and answer questions related to taxes. Walton County property owners are asked to bring their tax bill with them to the onsite location.

 

The R.A.T.E. locations are as follows:

 

November 17                 Mossy Head                  Fire Station                              9 am to 2 pm

 

November 18                 Rosemary Beach           Town Hall                                  9 am to 2 pm

 

November 19                 Paxton                          City Hall                                    9 am to 2 pm

 

November 20                 Darlington                     Two Cousins Restaurant             9 am to 2 pm

 

December 1                  Freeport                        Community Center                     9 am to 2 pm

           

December 3                  Miramar Beach  Fire Station (217 Geronimo St.)              9 am to 2 pm

 

December 4                  Choctaw Beach Fire Station                                           9 am to 2 pm

 

Tax payments not paid by March 31st are considered delinquent and a penalty will be assessed on delinquent accounts.

 

For more information, contact the Walton County Tax Collector’s Office at 850.892.8121 or visit www.waltontaxcollector.com.

Police are this morning hunting dangerous fugitive Matthew Kidman, believed to be in possession of a motorised golf cart in the Upper Hutt area. Acting senior sergeant Braydon Leniham said that Kidman, who may be armed, probably took the cart from the Silverstream Golf Driving Range. He urged members of the public not to approach him but immediately report his whereabouts to police. He was last seen wearing a white T-shirt and shorts. Police earlier said that an area between Fergusson Drive and the Wellington Golf Club at Heretaunga was being scoured with the assistance of a helicopter. Kidman, on bail for firearms offences, is considered dangerous. He sparked a search by the armed offenders squad, dog handlers, a negotiation team and the Westpac helicopter on Tuesday when he was reportedly seen in a car with a firearm visiting a house in the suburb of Naenae. A firearm was later dumped at Taita Cemetery before Kidman headed into the hills.
