Bolivar Sand Dunes

Letter to Honorable Patrick Doyle, Commissioner, Precinct 1.

(Feb-11-2012) Commissioner Doyle: The MAIN cause of Thursday’s horrible accident that killed the 3 year old boy was that the County’s Dunes are too close to the water. FEMA and the County got most of the front row lots after ‘Ike’, the put the dunes back where they were before the hurricane when beach was lost. Now, with high tides and southeast winds the Gulf is at the bottom of the dunes, which is a normal condition. All the dunes need to be moved BACK 75′ so the road where the family was walking isn’t next to the dunes. After ‘Ike’ the County put the blue trash cans in the middle(or closer to the beach) of the washed out beach, then proceeded to build the dunes 50′ from the water at low tide! Please move the dunes back so we continue to have a useable, not dangerous, beach. Thank You and feel free to contact me on this matter.

      By Georgia Osten Drastically slower pace now that we’re back home. We made the trip home from practically the southern tip of Florida in one day. It’s at least a 14-hour trip no matter how you look at it. We made a slight detour on the way back through Panama City to get out son-in-law to his car – long story, too long. I don’t remember where we were when

Or who could have guessed

    • Miss Bee’s Bolivar Buzz

      By Shannon Williams “If Plan A fails, remember you still have 25 letters left” I love to make plans, it is almost a disease, as I just have to have a plan for just about everything, and I have to admit that I like to plan. I view myself as being flexible to change those plans, as there are just way too many things that can get in the way of a good plan. The past several
