Out and About

Written by Sandi Kemp on . Posted in Opinion, Out and About.

As far as I could tell, everyone had good time at the Centennial Ball Saturday. I want to give a shoutout to some people that made the event happen. I was just one person on the committee, and I started going to committee meetings regularly just a few months ago. The Centennial Ball was made possible by Frankie and Barbara Gibbs, Mike and Nancy Sandler, Andy Epstein and Craig Born. Also, shoutout to the volunteers from Risen Savior Lutheran Church that helped clean up after the event, and to St. Michael’s for making a commemorative beer named “1925” for this special year in Navarre.

Williamson’s $100,000 a year consolation prize

Written by Staff Reporters on . Posted in Editorial, Opinion.

Navarre voters overwhelmingly said “no” to Rob Williamson as District 4 County Commissioner in the August election. They used their votes to voice their displeasure with his representation, his decisions and his financial management of Navarre. Holley Navarre Water System has decided Williamson deserves a high-paying consolation prize with an offer to be their next CFO/CEO. Yes, sir – $100,000 per year for two years, platinum benefits as only the water company has and probably a company truck or SUV. In fact, they offered him the position without having a job description for the new position, qualifications or much else – probably because Williamson has zero qualifications for the job. He has no wastewater treatment experience, no water management experience, he has never directly managed a multi-million dollar budget nor the number of employees the water system has. What are they thinking. It is fairly obvious this has been their Plan B since he lost the election…or maybe before then.

Florida Senate committee refuses to recommend Rudman appointment to Pensacola State board

Written by Hansen Hasenberg on . Posted in News.

Navarre resident and former State Representative Dr. Joel Rudman’s chances of staying on the Pensacola State College Board of Trustees have taken a hit after he was unanimously voted down by the Florida Senate Appropriations Committee on Higher Education during an April 15 hearing.
Appointed by Gov. DeSantis, Rudman still needs to go before the Senate Ethics and Elections Committee before a vote is taken on the Senate floor, which will decide whether he maintains a seat on the board of trustees. The Ethics and Elections Committee meets Tuesday, April 22.

Jesus: Man of the Shroud?

Written by Staff Reporters on . Posted in Faith.

As Easter approaches, discussions surrounding the historical existence of Jesus, his resurrection, and artifacts like the Shroud of Turin gain prominence. The Shroud, a linen cloth made of flax, is considered the most studied archaeological artifact of all time, yet many remain unaware of its existence. Measuring approximately 14 feet long and 3.5 feet wide, it bears the full-length image of a crucified man, showing signs of rigor mortis, with wounds consistent with biblical accounts of Jesus’ crucifixion.
