Out and About
We found some very spooky local stories to share with you this week. We had more, that are even spookier – including the obituaries that go with them – but…we had to wait for more information. However, the stories are going to be groundbreaking and change the known history of our area. Let me rephrase that; let’s just say that the previous “recorded” history isn’t what it has been presented to be by past self-proclaimed historians.
It’s really about they lived
In this week’s issue we include the findings of the investigation into the Black Hawk helicopter crash in the Santa Rosa Sound in March. The findings of the report indicate the pilots were to blame for the crash that left 11 service members onboard dead because they disobeyed direct orders by flying into worsening weather.
‘We the People’ ignored on courthouse, accountability
Commissioners Don Salter, Bob Cole and new to this game Rob Williamson, have recently spoken against “We the People’s” vote for a courthouse location. Why do they continually waste the citizen’s time and taxpayer money when obviously they don’t want to follow “We the People’s” vote? Evidently, the only time “We the People” show signs of intelligence, is when we vote them into office!
Out and About
Last weekend was full of fun things to do as you can see by reading this issue. I’m not sure they could have crammed one more thing into the weekend. Thankfully – it was a beautiful weekend and the weather didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits or hinder attendance.
Voters said ‘no taxes’ for new courthouse
I thought the county commissioners were public servants for the people that elected them. Commissioner Rob Williamson always says, “At your service.” The majority of people voted NO concerning the sales tax for a new court house which indicates the court house is not a top priority. But now the commissioners want to raise the valorem taxes for the court house regardless of the voters’ wishes. Leadership failure is not having the skill sets to use management, judgment, experience and creativity to eliminate waste for efficiency so the easiest thing for the commissioners to do is raise taxes. Anyone with or without an education can say raise taxes for any situation.
When will the Light come on for our county and Tallahassee politicians?
We have a serious disconnect from our county commissioners in Santa Rosa and our local senators and representatives in Tallahassee.
Navarre’s heart lies within its residents
Navarre residents never shy away from a sincere call for help. So many recent events come to mind.
Out and About
October is a busy month in Navarre and basically everywhere. It was mentioned at our Monday morning meeting that there seems to be more going on in October than there is during the summer. This weekend seems to be the busiest one of the month.
Like the monarch butterfly, the Monarch Madness Festival returns to Navarre year after year.
ROLLING FORK, Miss.—The chosen theme for this year’s National Newspaper Week is “Power of the Press,” and that power, it seems to me, is a very relative thing.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month
A cancer diagnosis at any stage is devastating news. The questions, concerns and even panic that can set in can throw any life off of a sure path. In the case of breast cancer, it can affect the sheer essence of who a woman thinks she is. We have been taught in life that our female body parts are what make us who we are. And that couldn’t be further from the truth. Breast cancer survivors will tell you that.
