PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) - By the end of the day Monday, 37 tombstones and historical markers at downtown Pensacola’s St. Michael’s Cemetery were repaired and restored after sustaining varying amounts of damage during Hurricane Sally in September.
Monday marked a significant day in a restoration project that began in March and won’t conclude for some time. As Escambia County’s 200th anniversary approaches, University of West Florida historical archaeologist Margo Stringfield said the timing to fix some of the city’s oldest, most historic markers was apt.

Even growing up just seven blocks from Pensacola High School, David Williams never thought he d one day be the principal.
Instead, like most kids who loved sports, Williams thought he would play forever and even make it in the NBA. That was a dream that was almost realized when he was drafted by the Phoenix Suns organization in 1981.
But a knee injury put a stop to his athletic career that preseason and sent him down a path that would eventually lead to a 35-year career at his alma mater Pensacola High School, which included roles in teaching, coaching and administration. Williams plans to retire as principal at the end of this school year.
The group behind the latest push is a registered nonprofit called Preserve Navarre, spearheaded by Wes Siler.
For the third time in less than a decade, a group of south Santa Rosa County residents is moving forward with an incorporation effort to make Navarre its own city, with its own local government, taxing authority and civic identity.

Siler has lived in Navarre with his wife and small children for the past four years and is in the process of transitioning from active duty to reserves in the Air Force so his family can stay in Navarre.
The Legislature is set to vote on the state budget Friday during the final day of this year s session. The state s budget runs each year from July 1 to June 30.
Lawmakers also can seek funding for individual projects or initiatives, and all together Pensacola-area lawmakers filed 44 separate appropriations requests during the 2021 legislative session.
Not all of those appropriations requests made it through and those that did still could be killed by Gov. Ron DeSantis using his line-item veto power over the budget.
Here s a look at what Sen. Doug Broxson, R-Gulf Breeze; Rep. Alex Andrade, R-Pensacola; Rep. Michelle Salzman, R-Pensacola; and Rep. Jayer Williamson, R-Pace; were able to get into the final budget.
