Mike Sandler signed a confidentiality agreement before he joined the BentProp expedition this year in the Republic of Palau on a mission to find downed planes and vessels that may contain remains of MIAs from WWII. Sandler, a resident of Navarre, and a retired chief master sergeant from Hurlburt Field, was one of only three new selectees this year for the task after a nationwide search by BentProp. Sandler returned in mid-April and when asked if he found anything, he would say, “We found a lot of places where there isn’t anything.”

Social media sites are inundated daily with lost or found pets and some of them end up being turned over to animal control because the owner cannot be located. That’s where foster homes come in.
Opportunities to learn about lionfish are expanding. The Navarre Beach Marine Science Station did a mini camp over spring break and has a summer camp planned June 15-16.
