Dear editor,

I see a picture of the beach clean up by the NJROTC, great job. Unfortunately you did not include the organization that picked up the garbage that they are holding in fact there is no mention of the organization.

Sierra Hamlin helped restore my faith in the youth of America.

Her parody on Green Eggs and Ham activated vilification from the left.

I wholeheartedly support repairing and/or replacing the Navarre Park boardwalk. I also strongly support building a lighted multi-use path that would connect the area from the intersection of 98 and Alpine Drive all the way to the Best Western. Imagine how much increased sales tax would be collected if folks staying at St. Rosa Sound RV Park or either of the two hotels could safely walk or bicycle to any of the more than 30 businesses in that area.

As a 15 year returning Snowbird, I thought I had pretty much seen it all, but it appears that I am mistaken.

Just a couple of years ago, the Santa Rosa County Commissioners spent many meetings trying to come to grips with the best way to encourage investment and job creation for local residents. At the time, TEAM Santa Rosa, a public-private partnership was the local economic development office. Some members of the public were not satisfied by the group’s efforts, operational methods or the fact that it lacked direct oversight from the county, its primary funding source.

Open letter to the administration of the homeowners association of Holley by the Sea:

Like Jerry Clower, I say “Ain’t God Good?” Because God loves the world so much, He “engineered” the release of the movie “Son of God” Feb. 28, blessing many to become aware of Jesus Christ.

The Citizens to Incorporate Navarre Political Action Committee is collecting signatures in an effort to convince Santa Rosa County Commissioners to place a nonbinding straw poll on the August primary election ballot. This is the second go-around for the group. The commissioners in 2012 rejected their request.

Publisher Sandy Kemp made a remark in her column on Feb. 6, regarding the movie “An Inconvenient Truth”, and global warming. I suppose she cannot see beyond her own back yard, and certainly chooses to be willfully ignorant regarding what is happening to the planet. I am older than you and remember studying about greenhouse gases in the early 70’s largely caused by carbon emissions of the industrial age.
