Wednesday, before Thanksgiving, a home on Tupelo Street burned. It was fully involved when the Holley Navarre Fire District and other agencies arrived – and what they discovered was not unusual for them. There was no fire hydrant on the street. Instead of hooking up to a hydrant to fight the fire, they had to rely on tanker trucks to provide the water.
Confetti littered the track below the visiting side of the stadium. The scoreboard still burned bright, the numbers 52-21 as clear as day, numbers that favored St. Augustine in its convincing win over Navarre on the East Coast of Florida Friday evening.

Mr. Cole is now County Commission Chairman, better than Robbie Williamson. But, Mr. Cole said his goals were infrastructure improvements, lessened traffic congestion, new recreational facilities, drainage improvements, growing the economy and tourism attractions; please, the tourist come for the weather and the beach. Well, Mr. Cole has been a Commissioner since 2002, that’s 15 years, where has he been? This type of service is just typical of the commission and has been cheating us tax payers. Mr. Cole’s goal should be to guard tax payers money, ask if new projects benefit the majority of tax payers and reduce waste and the size of the county government. Items such as consulting fees just burn up tax payers money and duplicate consulting fees happening right now.
The situation we have in Navarre with bears is unfortunate. Scroll through Facebook and you will see both sides of the issue with neither side willing to bend on their opinion. The bears must go…don’t harm the bears…we moved into their territory…protect your children and family from bears. This all came to a head when a Navarre resident shot and killed a bear in a residential neighborhood. One side wants to put him behind bars forever and the other side is advocating for him and for change. Which side is right? We don’t know but in order to move forward we have to understand both.
If we haven’t said it before, let us say it now – Quint Studer is truly a community genius. He has proven it over and over again. He has been described as a visionary – he is. An entrepreneur…yes. An investor in his community…absolutely. And he is also one of the best community planners. He is wanted all over the country to plan communities like ours.
