Will work for health
Written by Staff Reporters on . Posted in News.
Recently I had two of my favorite people tell me they’ve received a diagnosis. Nothing unmanageable but it still makes me sad and maybe even a little bit angry. These two ladies happen to be members of my tribe because (but not limited to) they are both blonde, hilarious and super smart. What’s worse is they’ve been working at health and fitness so diagnoses like thyroid and diabetes are like a slap in the face.

Out and About
Written by Sandi Kemp on . Posted in Opinion, Out and About.
I have been out of town for almost half of September. Every five to six years we take a long family vacation which usually involves hiking. This year we went to the Grand Tetons National Park and stayed in Jackson Hole. Three of my four children made the trip and we put in more than 30 miles of hiking. My youngest daughter hiked every mile with us and ran a marathon on our first full day there. My son who is a law enforcement officer wrote on Facebook afterward that it was the first time he came back from vacation and had to tighten his belt. It was really like a fitness vacation with some wildlife thrown in to include both bull and cow moose, marmot and more.
Closed for “wind advisory”?
Written by Staff Reporters on . Posted in Letters to the Editor, Opinion.
We own a “small” business in Navarre, and have done so for 14 years. We were open for regular business hours on Sept. 10 and Sept. 11, 2017, during Hurricane Irma.
When I read Sandi Kemp’s “Out & About” Column in the Sept. 14 edition, I was gratified to see that someone else had felt the same way that I did, and was willing to “put it out there” for all to see… regarding the local businesses that opted to CLOSE during our forecast “Wind Advisory” Sunday, Sept. 10, and/or Monday, Sept. 11.
From a dandelion to a rose

Several years ago it appeared that the Apostolic Lighthouse Church of Navarre on Route 399 had outgrown there current building and purchased a larger rundown building a few lots further west at the corner of East Bay Boulevard and Avenida de Sol. For almost two years the congregation has slowly been improving that property. They have cleared the 1 acre lot around the building and planted some very nice palm trees at what appears to be their main entrance and a few other trees along 399 on their property line; they removed an old broken fence along w/a lot of wild underbrush around the building and put up a nice privacy fence around their new air conditioning unit and also along their parking lot; they added nice gravel to form a big parking lot around the side of the building; they painted parking spaces in the existing paved parking lot and added a painted line to separate the parking lot from the County walkway; they added stop signs from their parking lot; and they painted the entire building and added two very nice looking side entrance doors facing Avenida de Sol.
