H. a consultant company for engineers and land surveyors, Hurdle is -seeking election to the seat vacated by Lori Wilson. He added, "Our county government costs far more today than it ever did before yet it is not doing any more fo the people. -The reason for this deplorable condition is our overabundant supply of high priced administrators some of which do nothing all day to earn their exorbitant salaries except spy on other overpaid administrators." Hurdle attended the University of Tennessee.

He is also an ordained deacon and a member of the Board of Trustees of the First Baptist Church of Merritt Island. He is married and has two children. "While I am not advocating a complete return. to the system of the past, where each commissioner totally controlled his individual district, I do believe too much emphasis is being placed on appointed administrative paper pushers instead of on hired workers who can go out and repair roads, clean: CATAMARAN LIFE It Draws Family-and Menagerie Closer TODAY Staff Photos by Greg Leary MILTON SCHULTZ PAINTS THE TOPSIDE OF HIS FLOATING HOME Lockheed engineer spends weekends renovating 40-foot cat faraway places, so Nancy made a "For Sale" sign and stuck it in the front yard.

Kind of took them by surprise, especially since the boat was about half done, but they sold it anwway, got rid of all the odds and ends they had collected over the years, stowed the smaller personals aboard and had neighbors tow them five hours up river to the yacht basin. JOHN A. HURDLE files for commission "Honest to God, you wouldn't believe how upset the neighbors were. Mainly because they were going to miss all the hammering and excitement of Milton building the boat," Nancy said, now a veteran boat dweller. And a few, or.

maybe a handful more, thought they were what you'd call a little looney. Nearly a year and a half ago they moved to the boat, moving in so fast they didn't have electricity or water for awhile.

Not anymore. Now they've got a regulation size propane burner. Color television, too.

Everything most folks want in a land-locked home. The next stage is building a mast and rigging the sails. "We'll be basically sailors," both agreed way back when the boat was a passing fancy. A motorized boat just isn't their pleasure. Before moving to Brevard County 11 years back, Milton used to spend a lot of time on the ocean, a crew member in ocean going windjammer regattas.

He was a Navy man, also, but never got near a ship, he jokes, being on the other side of the coin, aviation. Nancy and Milton both feel strongly about the decision they reached, and each day, they say, makes them feel one day more thankful they decided to change their way of life. "We were in a rut." said -Nancy, "and now we're out of it. At first I was afraid we might not be doing right thing. I'm well past the point of being afraid." The eldest daughter lives on a smaller boat in the slip next to them, 7-year-old Marty talks constantly about getting his own boat.

some day, as does Brad, 14. entire family is closer knit and proud of the home they built themselves, Nancy and Milton both are quick to point out, and the experience so far have been varied. Each has a favorite to tell about. Like the time Milton hung by his toes from a pole, trying to fish the cat out of the water and almost couldn't get back up. Or the porpoise chasing schools of fish up between the two hulls, causing them to beat against the boat loud enough to wake everyone up.

And in the fall watching all the big boats going south for the winter, "quite a parade." And in two years, maybe less, Milton will have the 40- foot mast rigged with 1,000 feet of sail and they'll leave the harbor heading up and down the rivers until they get the feel of sailing the big catamaran. And when he feels the touch, the big cat will take on the Atlantic, then the Pacific, and all those in between while Milton, Nancy, six kids, four pedigree Persians and one parrot learn a lot about places they've never seen on their own Good Ship Lollipop.

Inas By EDWIN E. RILEY JR. TODAY Staff Writer. Milton, Nancy, six kids, four pedigree Persians, and one parrot all together like bedbugs on the Good Ship Lollipop, a catamaran daddy built. Tucked in a berth at the Titusville yacht basin, bobbing ever so gently in the harbor.

On the weekends the hammer is flying and buzzsaws buzzing, because there's still a lot of work to be done before the 40 footer reaches full growth (she's got eight more feet to reach maturity) and Milton Schultz has plans for the whole gang to sail around the world. Just a couple years ago, the Schultzes were what you'd call an average middle-class suburbia type family. living in a four-bedroom home on a. canal at Merritt Island. A- computer engineer for Lockheed and native Californian who grew up in and around the water and boats, Milton had an itch that wouldn't quit.

Not for the lounge chair, though. He thought about sailing sO much the dreams ran out his ears and into his garage where he put together the hull for big catamaran. First one hull, then another, and before long there were two hulls fastened together in the water. Just a hobby, mind you. Purely weekend pleasure.

craft. At first, that was. But sitting there in suburbia, paying $300 a month house payments, looking out over the water and the big beautiful boat, was too much for any of the family, all the way down from the 20- year-old daughter to 7-year-old Marty. Talked things over, they did, and decided life is too short to sit around in daydreams of Sure things were a little uncomfortable then, but those times aren't remembered. "I wouldn't trade it for anything," Nancy was saying, at same time turning pages in the photo album with the boat's building progress pictures.

"'Wouldn't ever go back to land again." They're still in the first stage of development, Milton interjected, explaining how. things were being made livable now. Paneled bedrooms and such. A place of comfort. The summer wig lets your own hair breathe and stay cool.
