Support my campaign or else

Written by Staff Reporters on November 22, 2024. Posted in Editorial, Fall Sports Guide, Opinion.

Yes, it’s campaign season – and all the ugly that comes with it. What you may not know is if you contribute money to Rob Williamson’s opponent he will shut you out. And apparently he has a long memory.

No to storage units

Written by Staff Reporters on November 22, 2024. Posted in Fall Sports Guide, Letters to the Editor, Opinion.

I am excited about a downtown for Navarre. However, I cannot understand the logic for the proposed mini storage being located there. I would like to see that space reserved for a place to eat or shop.

For God’s Sake

My wife says I can find a topic for a column in the most mundane things. I think she is exaggerating. Anyway, I was walking from the kitchen to my office with a full cup of coffee trying not to spill. It seemed that the more I focused on not spilling, the more likely it was that I would. Caution made my posture rigid, my gait stiff. Slight missteps elicited a jerky correction that set the hot liquid in motion.

Out and About

We have some information on the candidates running for the Holley Navarre Water System board of directors – and how to vote. There are quite a few candidates vying for three seats on the board. Two of those on the list are incumbents; Joe Campbell and Daryl Lynchard, and you will probably recognize a few more names in the running. You can read about the candidates on page 5A. Their election day and annual meeting date is Jan. 21, 2025.

County needs Transportation Development District

Written by Staff Reporters on November 21, 2024. Posted in Fall Sports Guide, Letters to the Editor, Opinion.

Well, another Santa Rosa County Election with a disappointing result. On November 5th, voters rejected a 1/2 cent sales tax to be dedicated to infrastructure improvements in our county.

May I buy a vote, please?

Last Thursday we said goodbye to two county commissioners whose bid for re-election failed…and failed miserably. Sam Parker and James Calkins are moving on down the road, one is literally moving. Calkins sold his house in Milton and has moved out of Santa Rosa County. Not a bad idea, one we can all get behind. There probably would have been a line of volunteers to pack the moving truck if he had asked for help.

Navarre will play in a new-look district once again

Written by Brian Lester on August 25, 2021. Posted in Fall Sports Guide, Sports.

District play is back a year after the COVID-19 pandemic created a situation where there were no districts in 2020.

The new year also means a new-look district for Navarre, which will have a few familiar foes as well as a newcomer as the Raiders get ready to contend for their seventh district crown.

Under the lights on a Saturday night at Pen Air Field, practice for the University of West Florida football team wraps up with a celebration.

With music playing, the players get caught up in a dance competition, jumping around, chanting and clapping. One player even does a backflip.
