The beautiful lady grew
up angry and resentful. Her
mother was an alcoholic
and her military father was
never at home. She learned
early how to drink, smoke,
duck and dodge objects.
Eventually she would
steal, lie and cheat to sup
port her S4OO-a-day addic
tion to pot and cocaine that
got her negative attention as
a menace to society on all
sides of Florida.
“Thank God they arrested

Miller told Kiwanians.
Finally after being arrest

met Dottie Blood.
Miller said she started lis

protective custody and said
yes and fought the devil
with the grace to stand up

has married David Miller,

dents. She is platform
speaker for the Bill Glass
Prison Ministry’ whenever
needed.

Askew: Real estate
is big business in
HousGn County
By Lanorris Fleming
Hotnc JomtWAL
There is no greater pur
chase to be made than that
of a home. As with most
parts of the American
Dream, home ownership is
not always an easy task for
the buyer or the Realtor.
With population growth at
18.6 percent in the county
from 1990-1998 real estate
is big business.
According to Joey Askew,
real estate broker with
Coldwell Banker Robbins
and Free of Perry, he has
been a licensed Realtor
since 1999 and has already
picked up on the negativity
some people have toward
Realtors.
“Some people think that
we are enormously over
compensated for our
duties," said Askew.
In the hopes of justifying
commissions paid to good
agents Askew makes the
comparison of a Realtor and
a shark. i
“As you know the pro
truding fin of a swimming
shark is all that can be seen
above the water," said (
Askew, “however the other
95 percent of animal is
below the waterline and cam
not be seen.”
With this example Askew
hopes to explain the efforts
and hours put in on the
part of the Realtor that are
not seen by the public.
“I consider myself a good
Realtor and for every one
hour I spend working with
clients. I spend a minimum
of eight to nine working for
them behind closed doors,”
Askew said.
According to the Houston
County Board of Commis
sioners the county contin
ues to be a growing commu
rtyty..Jdouse sales from Jam
uary through December
