Rudman
(By Jim Turner) Former Rep. Joel Rudman became the third appointee of Gov. Ron DeSantis to resign this month from a Northwest Florida college or university board of trustees while awaiting Senate confirmation. Meanwhile, the Senate Ethics and Elections Committee on Tuesday refused to back another DeSantis appointee, University of West Florida trustee Adam Kissel.

More Coverage

The Florida State Senate recently passed a bill which will ban fluoride in drinking water supplies across the Sunshine State. The proposed ban, included in the “Florida Farm Bill,” would prevent adding substances to public water supplies which aren’t about “water quality.”
The Air Force will conduct munitions testing in the Gulf of America April 24 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Navarre resident and former State Representative Dr. Joel Rudman’s chances of staying on the Pensacola State College Board of Trustees have taken a hit after he was unanimously voted down by the Florida Senate Appropriations Committee on Higher Education during an April 15 hearing. Appointed by Gov. DeSantis, Rudman still needs to go before the Senate Ethics and Elections Committee before a vote is taken on the Senate floor, which will decide whether he maintains a seat on the board of trustees. The Ethics and Elections Committee meets Tuesday, April 22.

    Congrats to our Athlete and Student of the Week!


    The low heavy roar of the motorcycles could be heard from a couple of blocks away. The riders were definitely on their way. American Legion Post 382, located on E Esplanade Street in Navarre, was preparing to house Flags of Honor Escorts, a veterans’ motorcycle group, for the night, Friday, April 4. The group, which had close to a dozen members stop by Navarre, had just held a memorial service at Pensacola’s Veterans Memorial Park to honor Gold Star families and servicemembers who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

    Here is a list of Easter services and events this weekend in Navarre. For more specific information on each service or event, please reach out to the churches organizing them.
    If you were on the Navarre Beach Fishing Pier April 5, then you caught a whale of a sight.

    Two North Atlantic right whales, dubbed “Koala” and “Curlew,” were spotted just off the pier and have been seen numerous times along the Gulf Coast, with sightings from Southwest Florida to Alabama. Most sightings have taken place since January.
