Opinion Archive

Classic mystery novels usually open with a set of unexplained occurrences that pique the curiosity of the protagonist.

The clues frequently, but not always, lead to a malicious event that leaves only the disconnected evidence available for identifying the perpetrator.

When my children were small, we spent most of our free time taking them to parks. If you want to know about all the small hidden parks that were in the area 15 years ago and probably still are today, hit me up.

We even found the ones that offered little or no parking because they were intended mostly for kids in the homes around the park, whose parents could walk them over.

Community members frequently call newsrooms like ours and want us to write stories about their opinions.

They don’t phrase it that way, but the conversation starts with what they think about an issue in the community and ends with, “You should write a story about that.”

Good news! Aldi will be providing inserts/advertising to our readers.

They are planning on opening in March. Between Aldi, Publix and Winn Dixie advertisements in Navarre Press, you will have all the information you need to shop in Navarre.

If there is one thing Michael Carter has never done, it’s that he has never forgotten where he came from.

He didn’t do it when he went off to the University of North Carolina and he hasn’t done it since going to the NFL.

This is a frequently used theme in horror movies and horticulture. An alien species is introduced into a pristine environment, either intentionally or by accident, and quickly escapes control to the detriment of the locals.

There is a lot to celebrate as we finalized the comparison data for 2021. There’s a lot I will unpack for you here…

For the first eight years I collected data from our local shelter, the average number of adoptions in 12 months was about 550. In 2019, DOUBLE the adoptions happened. This past year….TRIPLE.

My wife and I recently spent a morning running errands. We emerged from our neighborhood into a thick blanket of marine fog. Visibility on Navarre Parkway was less than a quarter of a mile.

The bridge to Navarre Beach arched into a misty uncertainty. Buildings and trees emerged from the mist as faint shadows and only gradually took on definition.

When I started covering Navarre in the summer of 2020, I spent a lot of time on Concerned Citizens of Navarre’s Facebook page.

You can learn a lot about a community from pages like this. They help reunite lost pets, share stories of small kindnesses, give much appreciated updates about what’s going on in the community, as reported by individuals living there.
