Blog: We Sure Could Use A Little Good News Today

March 10, 2009

On the March 4 edition of Nightly News, anchor Bryan Williams asked viewers to send NBC news tips about people that are doing positive things, inspiring things. Thousands upon thousands of people have sent them ideas in the past few days.

The folks at the Munson Volunteer Fire Department sent us information about firefighter Adam Bondurant, one of just 50 certified deaf firefighters in the nation. It’s a story that made us feel uplifted and inspired when we read it. It’s not really a local North Escambia story, but it’s from our friends and neighbors in north Santa Rosa County, were we have developed a large number of daily readers. We really thought you would enjoy reading it today on our front page.

Putting one and two together, we decided that “we sure could use a little good news today”, as an old country song says.

We will continue at NorthEscambia.com to cover the news like we always have — the good, the bad, the ugly and everything else. But in today’s doom and gloom in the news, we decided to ask you for your help in finding good news.

Visit our contact form by clicking here and tell us about a person that inspires you, a person that does something in your community, a person that just has an interesting life. Everybody has a story if you’ll just stop and listen.

We want not only to know about good news in North Escambia; we don’t mind sharing a little good news from Atmore, Flomaton, Jay, Cottage Hill, Cantonment — any of our neighboring communities that surround North Escambia.

We will feature the interesting and the inspiring in a series of stories we will call “Hometown People” here on NorthEscambia.com.

To send us your inspiring stories, click here for our contact form.

Go ahead and suggest that person you are thinking about; don’t think their story is too small. Everybody has a story to tell.

    You folks, and your excellent work, are good news to me. I just discovered you, and wouldn’t miss a day. Your concept of a “Hometown People” column is great.

    Thank you!
