Letter: What does matter is that Jesus Christ of Nazareth is coming again
Dear editor,
On Jan. 26, a leading rabbi in Israel died at age 108 in 2006.
While I was meditating on the second coming of Christ, Rabbi Yitzchak Kaduri came to mind. Kaduri left a note to be opened a year after his death.
Milton creating vision, mission statements is a good idea
“Failing to plan is planning to fail.”
Historians attribute these words, or something very like them, to several prominent thinkers, most notable Benjamin Franklin and Sir Winston Churchill. We’re proud to add Milton Mayor Heather Lindsay to that company.
Why moving public notices to government websites Is a bad idea
Last year, the Legislature passed a public notice bill (HB 7049) that went into effect Jan. 1.
The new law gives counties the option to place public notices solely on their own government website and dispense with any such notice in the traditional format — newspapers and newspaper websites.
Let’s rethink Black History Month
It’s time for the United States to rethink Black History Month. And not just Black History Month.
We need to reconsider every “set-aside” day, week and month. Why? Notice, we didn’t say “abolish” Black History Month. Instead, we should ask whether such set-asides accomplish what they could, or should? We’re not so sure.
MLK’s dream is not over
Over the long holiday weekend, communities around Santa Rosa and Okaloosa counties and the nation came together to celebrate the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.
It is a legacy that everyone would do well to not only remember, but to take to heart.
Milton should unite to provide best Caroline Street design possible
The debate whether to widen Caroline Street through Milton is over, or it should be.
It should have ended in 2019, when the Florida Department of Transportation announced its preferred route to improve U.S. Highway 90 traffic flow through the city after a five-year project development and environment (PD&E) study.
2023: We’re going to disagree; let’s do it calmly this year
Our New Year’s wish for Milton and Santa Rosa County is simple: Civility.
Nobody expects citizens in a free society to agree on every, or even most, issues. Diversity of thought is vital to good government, the best solutions produced by critical analysis and healthy debate.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus
DEAR EDITOR: “I am 8 years old.
Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says,
‘If you see it in THE SUN it’s so.’ Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus?”
Win or lose, this U.S. men’s soccer team deserves our support
We! We believe! We believe that we can win! (At least, we hope we did….)
We’re writing this the day before the United States’ men’s team plays Iran with a berth in the knockout round of the World Cup at stake.
