I can’t believe it is almost the end of another year.

As we drift into November, the holidays are quickly approaching. Soon the election season will turn to Thanksgiving and Christmas. I can’t wait.

In this week’s edition we continue with reporting on the chaos in Stuart government. The countdown to two new county commissioners assuming their seats and how we need to keep an eye on the school board.

We have our regular columnists and a special guest columnist. J Corey Crowley has submitted a column regarding Port Salerno that I thought should be included in our newsletter not because we agree but because it is a point of view.

If you haven’t already done so, please go vote. It is important that we all have our choices counted. The August primary was near normal but still a dismal turnout. While who becomes president is very important that also goes for our local officials. Ignoring local races allows just a few people to select who will call the shots in Martin County, your town, and school board.

Remember we are always looking for different points of view. If you think you want to join our roster of columnists, let me know. Do you have a special talent that you would like to tell people about—here is the place. This is a community publication that wants a lot of community input.

The same goes for our local non-profits. If you are a CEO or on the board you should be sending your press releases, even flyers, and photos here. If you are a legitimate 501c3, let us tell Martin County about you. The good thing is it is free. Send us an email and I will make sure you are on our list for notification.

Have a great Sunday Morning!
