I was troubled when an initial search did not show Sharon Aydelott, a teacher at Holley-Navarre Middle School, as ever being on the pages of Navarre Press. However, when I read that she was teacher of the year for her school in 2005, I knew there must be a glitch. Sure enough, we interviewed Sharon after she won the honor in December 2005. We reprinted the article this week on our education page in honor of her. We received the press release on Christmas Eve about a murder and posted it immediately to our Facebook page. Then news started leaking that it was Sharon who was killed even before we even received the official press release, my heart sank along with everyone else. The story has appeared all over the world in gruesome detail. We elected not to publish all the details on our website because we knew that this was a time to mourn the loss of Sharon and to celebrate her life and contribution to our community and it was not necessary to detail the manner of her death. The minimal details were enough at the time. There will be a trial and if not a trial, there will be sentencing and the details will be detailed at that time.

Baptist, Sacred Heart adopt tobacco-free hiring
Baptist Health Care and Sacred Heart Health System will start the New Year with a healthy choice for themselves and for others, as they adopted tobacco-free hiring policies beginning Jan. 1, 2014. Current employees who use tobacco products were not affected by the policy. To encourage healthy lifestyles, Baptist Health Care and Sacred Heart Health System are currently, and will continue to offer, tobacco cessation assistance to existing team members. Baptist Health Care and Sacred Heart Health System worked with the Partnership for a Healthy Community (PFAHC) on an assessment of the state of health in the two-county area that includes Escambia and Santa Rosa. Results revealed discouraging statistics related to tobacco use, obesity and health management. Baptist Health Care and Sacred Heart Health System became smoke-free campuses in 2010. The hiring policy is another step in support of a healthy workforce.Faith Year in Review stories
