According to the Green Bay Press Gazette, Saatio was handcuffed when he escaped from Houghton County deputies following a June 19, 2015, court appearance on charges of home invasion and destruction of police property. Police said he stole a car and headed south, running out of gas on Green Bay's west side. He was apprehended in Santa Rosa County after a citizen called SRSO regarding a suspicious person walking in a wooded area.The description provided fit Saatio. Deputies arrived a short time later at approximately 5 p.m. with a K-9 unit near Antietam Road in Milton to track down Saatio. Other K-9 Units were called in including Santa Rosa Correctional Institute, Okaloosa, Century, and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.The K-9 units continued to track Saatio south for approximately 2 miles where he was approaching the Yellow River. Saatio was apprehended approximately four hours later without incident. When deputies searched him, they found two makeshift handcuff keys in his sock. Saatio was transported to the Santa Rosa County Jail where he remains under close watch. Charges include escape and possession of a handcuff key. Additional charges are pending at this time.

Sublett

Continued from page 1A

In an email to Navarre Press, Sublett said,“I have resigned from the Holley-Navarre Water System, Inc. We fought hard to provide direction by defining the need for re-use water disposal. We brought forward the method of financing the upgrades by making rate changes, although unpopular, necessary to pay for the system's future. We also ensured that our growth could be measured by controlling our future debts. The current Five Year Capital Improvement Plan will be used as a map to a fully compliant and healthy water system for all who are serviced by it. My work here is completed.” Board president Bien May responded via email that the Board of Directors and HolleyNavarre Water System have accepted Sublett’s resignation effective July 1, 2016.“We appreciate Mr. Sublett’s time, efforts and accomplishments while working with our company,” May relayed.“We wish him the very best in his future endeavors.” The Board of Directors is not planning to fill the open position at this time. In the interim, General Manager Paul Gardner will oversee all operations within HNWS. Phil Phillips will head the engineering group and Jim Morgan will be the general manager overseeing all operations within The Club at Hidden Creek with all three of these managers reporting directly to the Board of Directors according to May. Sublett’s tenure with the utility was not without controversy when he purchased a new insurance package for the employees of the company, effectively doubling the company’s health savings account payments for employees and their family members. Shortly after the purchase the water company raised its rates to customers by 17.5 percent. More recently the utility has come under fire for seeking to build two Rapid Infiltration Basin Systems (RIBS) on land in the Williams Creek area, which is prone to flooding.

Sacred Heart refuses homeowners’ plea on clinic By Rob Johnson rob@navarrepress.com Although a member of the Sacred Heart Health System’s development team finally agreed to meet with the leader of several homeowner groups in Tiger Point East, the controversial entrance to a new clinic won’t be relocated. “They listened.They heard our ideas for an alternate access point that we feel would be safer and smooth the flow of traffic,”said Stan Shaw, president of the Oak Point Homeowners Association. “But they think the current

plan is the best for everyone.” The meeting came last week and followed a June 16 article in the Navarre Press which reported that Sacred Heart hadn’t responded to an invitation by a group of 10 area homeowner associations who are protesting the clinic’s planned entrance/exit on Tiger Point Boulevard. Fearing traffic congestion and danger to pedestrians on the two-lane Tiger Point Boulevard, area residents had requested that Sacred Heart move the access to nearby U.S. Highway 98. Sacred Heart has resisted

that change, pointing out that it would require a right-turn lane located uncomfortably close to the traffic light at the intersection of 98 and the Tiger Point arterial road. Boulevard bottleneck Shaw offered a compromise during a meeting: keep the clinic entrance on Tiger Point Boulevard but move it about 150 feet south, which would relocate it from directly opposite the only entrance/exit to the Oak Pointe subdivision. That location would allow more vehicles to line up

between the clinic’s access and the traffic light at the arterial road’s intersection with U.S. Highway 98. “Right now you can only get nine passenger vehicles in there before people won’t be able to drive out of the clinic parking lot or leave Oak Pointe until the light changes,” Shaw explained. The results of a study done by an independent engineer hired by Santa Rosa County indicate that the new clinic will increase traffic on Tiger Point Boulevard by about vehicle 800 trips a day, or 26 percent. Still, Sacred Heart has

repeatedly said that its engineers and those of Santa Rosa County think the clinic access now under construction on the two-lane Tiger Point Boulevard is the best plan. Shaw asserted that the homeowner groups haven’t given up on their quest to change the clinic’s construction plans.“We’ll talk this over among ourselves before we think about bringing in a third party or some other action.” Some homeowners have floated the idea of boycotting the $6 million clinic, but others dismiss that strategy as unlikely to succeed.

sacola area, our customers will have access to this new service at even more locations,” said Phillip Keene, the director of communications for Walmart. Walmart’s grocery pickup service features 30,000 items, with 90 percent of the customers choosing to add fresh meat, dairy or produce to their baskets. All of the items selected by online shoppers are offered at the same low prices customers find in their local Walmart stores. In addition to the location in Navarre, the Walmart store on Pensacola Boulevard in

Pensacola is also starting up the service July 13. The service is simple to use. Customers go to Walmart.com/grocery and enter their zip code. Once they choose their items, they choose a designated store to visit and select a time slot to pick up their order. There is a $30 minimum purchase for grocery orders and pick up is free. Pick ups can be scheduled seven days a week, up to three weeks in advance. With the service expanding to Navarre, even more people will be able to use the service. “Now, even more of our

customers are able to complete their grocery shopping in a matter of minutes – between errands or on their

way home from an afterschool activity – without even unbuckling their seatbelts,” Keene said.
