Several years ago it appeared that the Apostolic Lighthouse Church of Navarre on Route 399 had outgrown there current building and purchased a larger rundown building a few lots further west at the corner of East Bay Boulevard and Avenida de Sol.  For almost two  years the congregation has slowly been improving that property.  They have cleared the 1 acre lot around the building and planted some very nice palm trees at what appears to be their main entrance and a few other trees along 399 on their property line; they removed an old broken fence along w/a lot of wild underbrush around the building and put up a nice privacy fence around their new air conditioning unit and also along their parking lot; they added nice gravel to form a big parking lot around the side of the building; they painted parking spaces in the existing paved parking lot and added a painted line to separate the parking lot from the County walkway; they added stop signs from their parking lot; and they painted the entire building and added two very nice looking side entrance doors facing Avenida de Sol. 

Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners and District 4 commissioner Rob Williamson has proposed a $6 million Navarre Park renovation – or reno as it is popularly called on DIY shows. Only this is no DIY.

An August 15 headline reads, “People Need to Stop Hating.” Heather Heyer’s father also said “people need to learn to forgive.” Because he’s a believer in Jesus Christ, he forgave her killer.

My reading of Tamara Fountain’s impressive resume, presented in the Navarre Press Aug. 10, made me a happy camper. The article was well written by reporter Jamie Gentry, Navarre Press.

By ignoring history, one can make the same historical mistakes. By studying history, one can test theories without exercising the theory. The elimination of free speech leads to tyranny of thought and promotes extremism. One of the first steps toward totalitarian is the elimination of free speech. This has happened in Germany, Russia, China and many other countries. The radical left is imposing limits on free speech at our colleges and through the press. This will lead to a destructive future and must be countered.

I’m frightened about the future of America and all we stand for as a world leader.

Harry Truman didn’t need a college degree to end the Second World War.

We’ve had a GOP majority Congress for at least the last six years. What has been transpired in that time other than excessive voting to repeal Obamacare?

Robbie Williamson still doesn’t know that stormwater infrastructure is a county function at Holley by the Sea. Robbie doesn’t pay the assessment nor property tax and should keep his mouth shut; he only adds to the problem. He didn’t do his homework to read the Army Corps wetland regulation pertaining to Holly by the Sea; usual Robbie. It’s amazing anyone listens to him. It would be nice if his listening tour would take him out of the state never to return.

Another Fourth, thanks be to God and those men and women who gave their lives for freedom.
