In December 2009 when the shuttered Zoo of Northwest Florida was purchased, the Florida Fish & Game Department said they would not renew the zoo’s licenses for a new owner because of the past history of the zoo; too many promises had been made and then broken again and again.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, we’re going to remind everyone once again the importance of heeding the warning flags on the beach. They’re not waving as part of some festive decoration. The flags are there for your safety and the safety of your friends and family.
I just wanted to give a shout out to the Navarre Beach lifeguards. This past weekend, they had more than 50 rescues between Friday and Monday. Less than half of those rescues took place on the county park side (east of the Navarre Beach Pier), while most rescues took place west of the Pier.
Jersey Mike’s opens next week in the shopping plaza on the south side of Highway 98 across from Publix. Stay tuned to our Facebook page and we will let you know the big day. I did a little research and found out there is one in Destin and two in Pensacola. The next closest shop is either in Birmingham or Tallahassee. Jersey Mike’s franchise has more than doubled in size in three years. Last year, 155 new locations opened. Beginning with the first location in 1956, the sub franchise has more than 1,300 locations open and/or under development nationwide.
In light of recent media surrounding the Navarre Beach Sea Turtle Conservation Center (NBSTCC), the board of directors wants to publish a statement to help update our donors and supporters on recent events.
Hard to believe it has only been two years, but the VINE Wine Bar & Shop across from Publix will celebrate its second anniversary this Saturday – June 13. And, because they are celebrating – they are having specials. You can get 20 percent off by the glass all day (bogo excluded) and they will host a $5 tasting from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Music is from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m.
Hurricane season officially started Monday. Make sure to check out our Hurricane Guide so you can be prepared. Our local Ace Hardware carries many of the supplies you should keep on hand. You will also see Vanderheyden storm shutters advertising. We have Vanderheyden’s fabric shield window coverings for the Navarre Press office. Thankfully we haven’t had to use them yet, but if we are threatened by a storm, we know how our windows and doors will be protected. We also have the aluminum roll-down shutters for our upstairs windows so we don’t have to crawl around on a steep metal roof before a potential storm.
