Rains, drains and pains
Written by Staff Reporters on . Posted in Editorial, Opinion.
In the past two weekends, Navarre has seen more than a foot of rain. When the remnants of Hurricane Patricia swept through Oct. 25 – 26, nearly 7 inches of rain fell. The rain totals of Halloween weekend were nearly that at 6.41 inches with some areas receiving 7 inches. Rewind to Sept. 28 and in a flash flood event, Navarre received a staggering 7 inches in merely six hours. Total it all up and it equals almost 2 feet of water. And under the water is muck.

We have another issue that is full of newsy news. Everything from a plane landing on Navarre Beach and running over our already dead fish, the red tide fish kill, to a shooting, and a grand-theft auto.

We found some very spooky local stories to share with you this week. We had more, that are even spookier – including the obituaries that go with them – but…we had to wait for more information. However, the stories are going to be groundbreaking and change the known history of our area. Let me rephrase that; let’s just say that the previous “recorded” history isn’t what it has been presented to be by past self-proclaimed historians.
‘We the People’ ignored on courthouse, accountability
Written by Staff Reporters on . Posted in Letters to the Editor, Opinion.
Commissioners Don Salter, Bob Cole and new to this game Rob Williamson, have recently spoken against “We the People’s” vote for a courthouse location. Why do they continually waste the citizen’s time and taxpayer money when obviously they don’t want to follow “We the People’s” vote?

The man who ruined Halloween
Written by Staff Reporters on . Posted in Community.

What few parents actually realize, however, is that poisoned/tampered Halloween candy is an urban legend; mostly propagated by one man, Ronald Clark O’ Bryan, the man who killed Halloween.
