Rhoda Bargas spent the whole week in bed. Depression’s vicious grip kept her there.
It sapped the Navarre resident of the excitement she should have been feeling with the Air Force Wounded Warrior Trials in Las Vegas looming on the horizon.
Down a long and narrow road in Holley, you’ll find the Little Red Farm by the Sea, a sort of petting zoo/animal rescue that has gained traction from social media exposure, mostly on Facebook.
Jess Sullivan (Gougeon) lives with her husband and three children on the farm, which is really a homestead.
Residents across Navarre may be hearing a knock on the door very soon. Preserve Navarre is launching an informational, door-to-door outreach campaign to let people know about what incorporation could bring.
Preserve Navarre is a nonprofit organization devoted to incorporating Navarre, something which has been tried twice before (2006 and 2014) but to no avail. The organization has been active since the start of 2021.
While students and teachers had a week off from school during spring break, the folks at Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge were hard at work hosting a spring break camp for kids ages 8 to 13. Despite hosting camps before, this was the first time Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge had hosted one during spring break.
The purpose of the camps at Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge are to help educate youth on all things animalia, from biology to ecology to the dangers they face from humans and other animals.
You might have seen them in a viral video on Tik Tok in October or at Navarre First Assembly of God, but wherever the Blended Bugbys go, they are sure to leave an impression.
The Bugbys are a large family, nine in all, and are currently in the midst of a “trade up challenge” to get a new vehicle. They call themselves the Blended Bugbys as several of their children are adopted, including two from Haiti.
Joshua Bugby, a development director for Children In Crisis, is the patriarch of the family. He said adoption has played a larger role in his family’s life.
Flashy suits, dynamic dance routines and music that will get you jumping out of your chair to dance and sing along.

People from across the Navarre community gathered at St. Michael’s Brewery Monday, Feb. 27, for a special event, Cookies On Tap, to have fun and raise money for a worthy cause.
The cause that benefited from the event was The Arc Gateway, a 501(c)(3) organization that has been providing services to intellectually and developmentally disabled people in Northwest Florida since 1954.
When most visit a cemetery, it’s to bury or visit a loved one. For those at Holley Point Cemetery Thursday, Feb. 23, they were there to help keep alive the memory of those who had been buried long ago.
They were there as part of a class put on by the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) to help the public learn more about the work that goes into preserving graveyards and maintaining the memory of the decedents interred there. The class is called the cemetery resource protection training (CRPT) workshop.
