LIVESTOCK FEES ARE ‘OUTRAGEOUS’

Ridiculous … and unnecessary! Government overreaching and fleecing the citizens! I’m retired military and examples like this are exactly why I bought 10 acres, zoned for agricultural use, way outside city limits!

City-folk never did seem to understand how to get along with each other without lawyers, ordinances, etc.

I might just have to start leasing out some space to folks who want to raise their own chickens but can't because of bureaucratic garbage like this. I'm sure we could negotiate a far cheaper option than those outrageous fees!

LIVESTOCK FOR EVERYONE

I recommend them for food on the table, as well as responsibility for kids to learn and earn! Definitely should be in everyone's back yard.

DR. BARNES NEVER GIVES UP

In reading about my friend, Dr. Naomi Barnes, I became a little emotional. She has always been the most hard-working individual that I have ever known. I met Dr. Barnes on the first day she entered the personnel office of the Okaloosa County School System. That meeting was an uplifting experience that I cannot forget.

Dr. Barnes never gives up on anything. I don't believe retirement is in her DNA. Continue doing what you do best.
