Some might consider this a “slow news” week, but I’m OK with that. We have already had our share of unexpected news in the past few months. There is a chance that by the time you read this Jayer Williamson will be appointed by Governor Rick Scott to sit where his father once sat as a Santa Rosa County Commissioner. It will be great to have our fifth county commissioner back. Jayer has big shoes to fill but the good news is – he knows that.

I was at the Holley-Navarre Water Board meeting Tuesday, and I actually met two people that didn’t know that our water department owned The Club at Hidden Creek. And, you guessed it, they are now subscribers…on the spot.

(I will not use their last names because I am NICE and so are they.)
