Some 10 years ago, I was told by a very well known Insurance health company that Escambia & Santa Rosa Counties were two of the highest rated counties in Florida. Escambia County being the highest…reason being “highest incidence of cancer per sq. mile than in anyother counties. North escambia county had the highest rate of breast cancer than other areas in the same county… Also I was told at that time that the same severity was seen in the Brewton area within a vey limited radius of about 2 miles. Would be good if someone studied this in greater detail to find out why…and what could be done to improve life quality in this beautiful northend of Esc Cty!

I could blame this on our governments, school systems, lack of jobs, or the parents… I’m just going to say its all about personal accountability. Sometime you the individual just has to take charge of your life and go for it.

If this is true, why do we have the two cleanest streams out of five counties flowing through our area? This was reported by an employee of the federal government who tests our streams that the counties listed were Ookaloosa, Santa Rosa, and Escambia of Florida, and Baldwin and Mobile counties in Alabama.

Life is a risk Ken. But we don’t crawl in a hole and hide. You drink water out of the tap without analyzing it, just as you breather air without filtering.
