Written by Hansen Hasenberg on . Posted in Community, Education, News.

There are 13,600 children who face food insecurity in the county, according to Santa Rosa County District Schools. That doesn’t include those whose families struggle to afford necessities like clothing.

School district responds to discussion around library book access

Written by Hansen Hasenberg on . Posted in Education, News.

For nearly an hour of the more than three and half-hour school board meeting earlier this month, concerned citizens, most of which were with Moms For Liberty members, spoke on the appropriateness of certain books in Santa Rosa District Schools and questioned the process by which parents can make decisions about the reading material available to their children.

Moms for Liberty claims that there at least 28 books found on the Santa Rosa District Schools website that had sexually explicit or culturally indoctrinating language in them. The group provided three examples including “A Court of Thorns and Roses” by Sarah J. Maas and “Triangles” by Ellen Hopkins, both of which have been targeted by other Moms for Liberty chapters.

I have been in this industry for more than 25 years at this point, getting my first paid job at the Ball State Daily News in the summer of 1998.

Since that time, I have written thousands of stories (my best estimate is around 5,000, but that could be a little high or a little low).

‘You’re never alone’

Written by Brian Lester on . Posted in Community, News.

No one loves you.
No one cares about you.
If you were to disappear, no one would look for you.
You should give up.
Those were the deep-cutting words spoken many years ago by the voice in the head of Reggie Dabbs, who was wide awake at 3 a.m. crying in his bedroom.

Navigate life through scripture

Written by Hansen Hasenberg on . Posted in Faith.

For most churches, serving the community is an aspect of their overall mission but for a new church being planted in Navarre, it is at the core of everything they do.

GPS Church, which will begin holding services Sunday, May 28, is centered around the idea of being present in the community and in people’s lives. The GPS in GPS Church stands for “God’s People Serving.”
