As you can tell by the content of this issue, we are celebrating the Navarre High School Graduating Class of 2025. The transition into adulthood can sometimes be daunting for parents and their children. It is a time of excitement, the culmination of years of hard work on behalf of the students, teachers and parents alike. There is a lot of pressure put on everyone to have it all figured out by the time the graduate crosses the stage, but it is my experience and opinion that that is a false narrative and can lead to a lot of disappointment. Even after college – or at anytime in life, there is no way to know what the rest of your life is going to look like. It is best to have some very basic foundational principles and beliefs and move forward being open to the path that life/God has in store for you. Personally, I turn to the Bible and test that against the proven experience of others.

This year Holley Navarre Water System (HNWS) celebrates its 55th anniversary as a company. Founded in 1970, the system has grown to currently serve over 17,000 members which is a population of more than 40,000 people. The Board of Directors and I thought this would be a good opportunity to update the community on what’s going on at your local water company. HNWS has not been without challenges over the years, as highlighted by a recent election dispute. However, the current board and staff remain focused on the core mission to efficiently provide its members with safe drinking water and to process wastewater in an efficient environmentally sustainable manner. We have a staff of nearly 70 professionals dedicated to this mission. HNWS operates its water and wastewater systems 24/7, providing an essential service often taken for granted.

It’s the year 2000. I’m at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh. Philip Rivers is the quarterback of the Wolfpack and there is no shortage of hype around him.
In the press box high above the stadium in a nationally televised game on ESPN, I’m putting together a running game story and just praying I get a phone line connected to my laptop in time to send before deadline that night.
