Commissioners should do better for poor
We have people in Navarre living in trash piles. I don’t care if they are white, brown or black, the Santa Rosa County Commissioners job is to make sure all residents are provided safe livable housing that meets the basic human needs and sanitary healthy living condition. The trash I have seen is in no way safe or healthy livable. If we get a storm, hurricane or cold weather the people would suffer. Could those places they call home have mold or something that could make them sick. They are unsafe. Those people are our residents, from what I have seen they are red blooded Americans. I know the County can do a better job of providing for the poor here in Navarre. First, we need low income housing and then we need shelters in case of a hurricane or storm. The Commissioners should take the time to write better code enforcement regulation, the County Commissioners should do its job and write strict rules for the Health Department and Code Enforcement and make them follow the new rules because the old ones has no place in Navarre. Unless it’s a rich person or someone trying to get more tax money out of the residents the Commissioners turns a blind eye to the poor here in Navarre, yet they will spend every dime on themselves, and helping the wealthy business, the birds, turtles and their friends. This is not how God wanted us to live as his children.

Cut-up socks. Burned shoes. A sharp drop in stock market price. A call for a boycott.

Highway pinball?
Kudos to everyone who’s keeping the right of ways along our roads nicely landscaped. But, can we stop with the auto pinball courses?

Against all odds, president prevails
The anathemizers are alive and well. “Unfit for President” they declare. God didn’t think so! He allowed President Trump’s victory swiftly eliminating 16 candidates.

If you like Beer and Germany – you are going to like Oct. 6 in Navarre. The festivities start at Juana’s/Sailors Grill on Navarre Beach with their sixth annual Oktoberfest. There will be beer tastings from beer distributors at different stations with music on the deck from noon until 4 p.m. Admission and a commemorative souvenir glass (while supplies last) is $25. From 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. you can also witness anglers from the Navarre Fishing Rodeo bringing in their catch to be weighed. All of this is a lot of fun. Then – you may want to call an Uber and make your way up Highway 87 to Ye Olde Brothers Brewery.

The innocence of children, the worry of parents
We knew about the arrest of school bus driver, Kenneth Webb, Saturday. He was arrested and charged with 10 counts of possession of child pornography. We saw other reports about the arrest and decided to wait before we reported on it. We wanted to dig in a little deeper than just reporting his arrest. He was jailed with originally no bond but after his first appearance the judge set his bond at $100,000. One more zero on the end of that would have been nice.

You read the headlines and you shake your head. And then you look to the sky and wonder why.

Imagine for a moment being a 12-year-old boy in 1955. You are black. The South despises you. You can’t eat in certain establishments, can’t drink from certain fountains and can’t use certain bathrooms.
